Windows 10: Sysprep fails fatally Windows 10 10122

I've tried to go into AUDIT mode to change the User profiles over to a different HDD on 10122. I get a fatal sysprep error. All i've used is an answer file with User profiles set to I:\Users
Program Data is not moved, copyprofile not set. Only other thing is pass 3 generalise has Persistalldeviceinstalls = true. But the answer file isn't the issue because i've tried running sysprep with just the /audit /quit flags and it still fails. Any ideas?

:)

 

Mandatory Profile in Window 10 (1709)

Has anyone successfully got mandatory profiles working with Windows 10 (1709). I'm having issue to run sysprep and getting following error-

"A fatal error occurred while trying to sysprep the machine.

Thank you

I don't know I'm afraid - I get the fatal error when I try it, with or without answer file. Except one time when it worked (with no answer file). I don't know what was different between the time when it worked and the times when it didn't.

All I'm going to do is report in the Feedback app and hope the next build is better, but others may know more.

 

I have had no issues in using Sysprep in Build 10122, apart the fact that CopyProfile does not work and when set to true causes an endless reboot loop when booted to OOBE.

The /generalize switch is not needed if the only things the answer file does is to move the Users folder and / or add OEM information. Because /generalize is not needed, the PersistAllDeviceInstalls is also not needed and is completely unnecessary.

This is in all its simplicity the answer file I have now used in multiple installs on both physical and virtual installs to relocate the Users folder, it has worked without an issue every time:

Kari[/quote] Thats the issue then. I installed with Ethernet connected. I will try without it later, and use your answer file there... (I just copy and paste into Notepad and save as MyAnswerFile.xml, right?) Thanks *Smile
