Just in case anybody runs across this, took me a while to find, on a 6 year old thread about something else... and by the way, as a DCR for MDT, maybe want to collect C:\windows\system32\sysprep\panther logs when using SLShare and doing a capture? Just a thought.
Using the latest MDT I'm building and capturing, in this case 2008 R2. I'm all the way at the end of the TS, everything has installed/updated without issue. But just as sysprep runs the TS fails. This is what's in LTISysprep.log <![LOG[Found existing unattend.xml at C:\MININT\unattend.xml]LOG]!><time="10:14:17.000+000" date="12-12-2016" component="LTISysprep" context="" type="1" thread="" file="LTISysprep"> <![LOG[Property OSDAnswerFilePath is now = C:\MININT\unattend.xml]LOG]!><time="10:14:17.000+000" date="12-12-2016" component="LTISysprep" context="" type="1" thread="" file="LTISysprep"> <![LOG[Copying C:\MININT\unattend.xml to C:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml]LOG]!><time="10:14:17.000+000" date="12-12-2016" component="LTISysprep" context="" type="1" thread="" file="LTISysprep"> <![LOG[About to run command: C:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /generalize /oobe /quit /unattend:C:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml]LOG]!><time="10:14:17.000+000" date="12-12-2016" component="LTISysprep" context="" type="1" thread="" file="LTISysprep"> <![LOG[Command has been started (process ID 1568)]LOG]!><time="10:14:17.000+000" date="12-12-2016" component="LTISysprep" context="" type="1" thread="" file="LTISysprep"> <![LOG[ZTI Heartbeat: command has been running for 0 minutes (process ID 1568)]LOG]!><time="10:14:18.000+000" date="12-12-2016" component="LTISysprep" context="" type="1" thread="" file="LTISysprep"> <![LOG[Return code from command = 0]LOG]!><time="10:15:17.000+000" date="12-12-2016" component="LTISysprep" context="" type="1" thread="" file="LTISysprep"> <![LOG[Image state after sysprep: IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE]LOG]!><time="10:15:18.000+000" date="12-12-2016" component="LTISysprep" context="" type="1" thread="" file="LTISysprep"> <![LOG[Expected image state is IMAGE_STATE_GENERALIZE_RESEAL_TO_OOBE, actual image state is IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE, sysprep did not succeed.]LOG]!><time="10:15:18.000+000" date="12-12-2016" component="LTISysprep" context="" type="3" thread="" file="LTISysprep"> <![LOG[FAILURE ( 6192 ): ERROR - Sysprep did not complete successfully, check C:\windows\system32\sysprep\panther\setupact.log for details]LOG]!><time="10:15:18.000+00 C:\windows\system32\sysprep\panther\setuperr.log has this: 2016-12-12 12:44:45, Error SYSPRP Sysprep_Generalize_MiStreamProv: RegDeleteValue for target uri failed with error = 2[gle=0x00000002] 2016-12-12 12:44:45, Error SYSPRP Sysprep_Generalize_MiStreamProv: RegDeleteValue for full payload time failed with error = 2[gle=0x00000002] 2016-12-12 12:44:45, Error [0x0f0082] SYSPRP LaunchDll:Failure occurred while executing 'C:\windows\System32\silsysprep.dll,Sysprep_Generalize_MiStreamProv', returned error code 2[gle=0x00000002] 2016-12-12 12:44:45, Error [0x0f0070] SYSPRP RunExternalDlls:An error occurred while running registry sysprep DLLs, halting sysprep execution. dwRet = 2[gle=0x00000002] 2016-12-12 12:44:45, Error [0x0f00a8] SYSPRP WinMain:Hit failure while processing sysprep generalize internal providers; hr = 0x80070002[gle=0x00000002] Found the solution here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/425bd101-8a87-488c-b2e2-9f2f8113a0d9/sysprep-fatal-error-occurred-while-trying-to-sysprep-the-machine?forum=w7itproinstall#e8fb464d-3e18-48d7-9421-474289b2e72f Seems installing WMF 5 is at fault and adding REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\StreamProvider /v "LastFullPayloadTime" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f In a Run Command line step right before executing sysprep lets sysprep find it, remove it, and complete successfully. Hopefully this saves somebody a little time... Todd
