Answered by:. Archived Forums. Setup Deployment. Sign in to vote. I previously made an image and got the following results, so I decided to start from scratch.
I am trying to make an image for an IBM x server. I go through the process, get the latest Windows Updates, make all my changes desktops, users, etc , run sysprep select OOBE and generalize, shutdown. Use winPE with ghost and create my image, reboot, and I see the splash screen for a second, then just get a black screen. We have used this same process for all our images and been successful. When booting into safe mode, it says that safe mode cannot continue because sysprep has not completed and prompts me to reboot and let sysprep continue, but only get the black screen.
Any suggestions???? Tuesday, June 15, PM. Friday, June 18, AM. Wednesday, June 16, AM. We have made images the exact same way with no problems before. We only use IBM servers, but have had the same exact thing happen and a different model x Wednesday, June 16, PM.
Altiris jobs might show an error after attempting to deploy UXSPs if the applicable hardware is not present in the target server. To determine whether this is the cause of the error, follow these steps: Right-click on the failed job under your system in the Altiris Console and select Properties.
The status detail window will refer you to the file ToolkitProcess. LOG on the target server. Return codes and in this file indicate an update that could not be installed because the applicable hardware was not present on the target server.
Some system updates may result in boot issues, or may fail and require user intervention during automated Toolkit installs. This error can occur for different reasons including the installation drive having previously been formatted as a GPT drive or having a different OS previously installed on the system. To resolve this issue, first restart the system and retry the Windows installation.
If this does not resolve the issue then delete all partitions and formatting on the drives in the system and retry the Windows installation. If this does not resolve the issue and the system has multiple storage adapters, please see "Installing an operating system on a multi-adapter system" in Appendix D of the User's Guide and the readme note for Windows Server Install with multiple RAID controllers for more information.
When performing a Windows installation, ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit attempts to install Windows on the first disk of the system presented by Microsoft's diskpart utility. Due to the limitations of the system, when multiple storage adapters are present on the system, the first disk presented by the diskpart utility is not always the the first disk on the system. The computer name used for Windows installations must comply to Windows restrictions.
If it does not, you will receive an error during unattended Windows installations saying: Windows could not parse or process the unattended answer file for pass specialize. The settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]. Clicking the broswe button when using the Scripting Toolkit Configuration Utility to copy files to the Toolkit source server may give a blank window without a folder browser.
If this occurs, the source path of the files to copy must be typed directly into the source path input box. If the Toolkit deployment process is hung at a point where it is waiting for a key press to restart the system, reboot the remote system using the remote console and the install will proceed successfully. At any other point, the system must be rebooted via the remote console, and the deploymented restarted from the beginnning. This is due to the package reporting completion while subprocesseses are still running.
Those subprocess may utilize your system's resource at a level that causes other updates to fail. To install the remaining hardware devices run your UXSP installation again without the exclusions, and the Intel package s will install successfully. If this error has already occurred, please re-run the UXSP installation, and the rest of the updates should complete successfully.
When installing to a drive that previously used GPT partitioning the operating system installation may fail. This failure is caused by an incomplete cleanup of the drive by Diskpart. To resolve this issue restart the system and retry the Windows installation or use Windows Preinstallation Environment 3.
When performing an installation of Windows or Windows R2 using a non-English version of the OS, the unattended installation may be interrupted with a prompt to select the language and keyboard layout to use in the installed OS. When specifying to include all the physical drives for a RAID level, you must ensure that the number of physical drives in the system is correct for the RAID level you are specifying.
To fix this issue, perform the installation again. A popup may be displayed while running a Toolkit scenario stating "You must restart your computer to apply these changes. Before restarting, save any open files and close all programs. Those subprocess may utilize your system's resource at a level that causes other updates to fail.

If the Windows installation will be done to storage connected to the 49Y or 42C, the hotfix must be slipstreamed into your OS files or the installation will not complete. In step 9 it is recommended that you add to the new information to the existing svcpack.
If you choose to create a new file, it must be name svcpack. The information in the [Version] field must also match the version of Windows you are using for your installation, not the Windows Server information shown in the article.
The article pertains to Windows Server and Server bit installations, so the steps are slightly different for the bit slipstream process.
For instance, substitute the AMD64 directory wherever the article uses the i directory. When specifying to include all the physical drives for a RAID level, you must ensure that the number of physical drives in the system is correct for the RAID level you are specifying.
To fix this issue, perform the installation again. When installing Windows without Service Pack 2 included, the "Everyone" group does not have the same permissions it would have if a retail install was performed. A popup may be displayed while running a Toolkit scenario stating "You must restart your computer to apply these changes. Before restarting, save any open files and close all programs.
This is often indicated in the log or onscreen by a return code of the first time the Toolkit attempts to launch the Director Agent, then a return code of on the second attempt. This is usually indicated by a black screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the screen. This requires using Windows AIK 2. Use another USB Key from a different manufacture.
DScan can hang if a driver is injected that has section names in the txtsetup. To fix this condition, ensure that all the section names are identical, including in case. With these functions, this software can proactively monitor, track and capture system inventory and hardware errors.
