Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help with this issue, I will provide a little background before introducing the problem to try and make my situation as clear as possible.
Background
- I have recently upgraded MDT from 2010 to 2013 and integrated Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit for Windows 8.1
- My task sequences are split into two folders (x86 and x64), both of these folders contain a deployment image for our commonly purchased PCs. They have been created using a sysprep and capture which was working swimmingly.
- The first time I imaged two new 64x PCs since the upgrade, MDT went through the installation OK (it took all day which is unusual but it did complete), the speed of installation was going to be my next issue however I was faced with a bigger one.
Problem
We have received two new 64x PCs which I am trying to image, however the deployment wizard errors and cancels at the stage of 'Installing Operating System', with the following error:
Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005
Failed to run the action: Install Operating System.
Incorrect function. (Error: 00000001; Source Windows)
The execution of the group (Install) has failed and the execution has been aborted. An action failed.
Operation aborted (Error: 80004004; Source Windows)
Failed to run the last action: Install Operating System. Execution of task sequence failed.
Incorrect function. (Error: 00000001: Source Windows)
Task Sequence Engine Failed! Code: enExecutionFail
Task Sequence execution failed with error code 80004005
Error task sequence manager failed to execute task sequence. Code 0x80004005
This seemed strange as I haven't touched anything since the last successful image. I've been researching the following error and the first thing that I initially tried was to Completely Regenerate the Boot Images when updating the deployment share. Since then I can no longer PXE boot to the 64x WDS, instead it eventually brings up command prompt with X:\windows\system32 that sits on top of the Microsoft Solution Accelorator background, nothing else happens at this point. If I boot to the 32x WDS if does load the deployment wizard where I can actually see the 64 bit task sequence, if however I try to run this I'm prompted with that exact same error above.
The second thing I tried was disabling 'Injecting the drivers' as I thought that the network driver may have been causing a problem and disconnecting me from the deployment share, this however didn't work either.
I'm totally baffled now to be honest and would appreciate anyone helping me out?
Many thanks in advance,
