Issue
The template to deploy the OS completes successfully but there is no Operating System installed on the client.
The DeployImageHandler.exe.log file shows no errors:

However, it seems that the image is deployed in seconds, which is not possible.
Cause
The .WIM file may contain another image such as "system reserved" (image was provided by a PC manufacturer)
Resolution
Edit the .WIM file to confirm the ID of the image that contains the OS and modify the command-line accordingly. In that case Image ID is #2.
!!!! BE CAREFUL TO NOT CLICK ON VALIDATE AFTER SETTING THE COMMAND-LINE OR IT WILL REVERT TO ID #1 !!!!
