Hello.
I am having difficulty deploying a custom Windows 7 x64 Enterprise image for a client. The process fails at the "Install Operating System" step. Here is there error page I get during the process:
Here is the process I went through to create this image:
1. Installed Windows 7 64bit Enterprise on a physical reference PC (Dell OptiPlex Desktop). Installed some company-specific apps. Installed IE9. Set some local policies. Did not run Windows Update. Captured. Later, I realized I needed to install Windows KMDF 1.11 so I started the reference machine back up, installed KMDF 1.11, and then sysprepped and re-captured.
2. Created a Deployment Share on a non-domain-joined workstation at path of C:\DeploymentShare$. Left most things default except set it to ask for admin password.
3. Added Windows Intune to applications list with command line "quiet" switch.
4. Created new Operating Systems entry. Chose custom image file, important custom WIM, chose setup files are not needed, chose destination directory name "Win7Ent".
5. Added drivers. I created two driver folders, one for "WinPE 5.0" and one for "Windows 7 x64 Ent". Imported Windows PE 5.0 driver cab from Dell into PE folder (it completed with 6 warnings, all similar to"Warning: Driver.... does not appear to support platform x86 as indicated. Overriding the indicated platform.") Imported Windows 7 Dell driver cabs for E5440, E7240, M4800 (completed with 75 warnings, same as with PE drivers). Created selected profile for WinPE5.0 and selected the PE folder, including all x86 and x64 drivers - then, went into Deployment Share properties, in Windows PE, under Drivers, set the driver selection profile to this (also set scratch space for PE to 256mb).
6. Created task sequence: standard task sequence, chose "Do not specify product key" and "Do not specify local admin password".
8. Updated deployment share. Completely regenerated boot images.
9. Created and updated media.
10. Moved contents of "Content" folder in media folder onto a flash drive. Put the drive into a Dell E5440 and attempted to run the Deploy task sequence. It seemed to start working. It passed the format and driver injection steps and then not long after I get the errors.
I have done and redone this over and over again and scoured the web for any ideas and I can find nothing that might be breaking this process. Any ideas you all might have would be VERY appreciated. Thank you.
