So i am trying to deploy Win 7 to a Dell Optiplex 740 (amd processor) using LDMS 9 SP2. with provisioning and I am using imagex as my capturing tool. I have captured both the 100Mb system partition and the partition with my image on it into two separate .wim files. And I am attempting to deploy both images back to a freshly formatted hard drive.The problem is that after the provisioning template wipe all the volumes and partitions on the machine, it fails when trying to deploy the image. The error is this:
action index=57540 type=Deploy_image
FAILED
error:[80001803H]The action failed.
Execute result:
return:2
output:
and in the command prompt it says this:
Error setting temp path: [C:\].
The system cannot find the path specified.
the only thing i have really found that pertains to deployment and this error code is that it could be that my WinPE image doesn't have the right driver for the disk. But this is a standard (very common) WD Blue Caviar hard drive. And besides, I have run diskpart.exe from WinPE and it is seeing the drive. And my WinPE image appears to have every frickin driver in the universe on it.
I am not even sure that I am supposed to be capturing and deploying both .wim files but I have not found any solid documentation on these forums with instructions (using ImageX) to successfully capture and deploy a Win 7 image.
The attached file is the ldprovision.log file (shortened) and it looks like it is fails at "tryallwebservice." so i am not sure if this has anything to do with IIS. I am still able to deploy my XP image with no problems and nothing has changed on my core, except installing SP2. But i have successfully pushed out my XP image since installing SP2.
Any help would be appreciatied since my boss wants to know when the hell i am going to upgrade all my labs to Win7.
thanks.
