What permissions are really needed in the field to make the image capture computer Workgroup member? I have an account that participates in the group Domain Users and Administrator SCCM site server, it even has all rights in SCCM. But I can not make the image capture with this account, erro0x00004005 appears after running sysprep. The machine is Windows 7 and is in workgroup.

you need to look more closely at the log files on the build/capture PC, it sounds like there is some resource missing or mis-configured could you please inclused all the error meaasges from you Smsts.log

It could be anumber of things, Are you running SCCM 2007 SP2? Correct drivers added in WinPE for the NIC? Network Access account correctly configurerd? Post the SMSTS.log if so we can help you more. Regards, Jörgen-- My System Center blog ccmexec.com --

Look at this article. Maybe you have something wrong in your Build and Capture. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/b4c23959-0b81-4abd-bf40-8e9f19b6d3a3 There is a link to a windows-noob guide that worked very well for me. Also if I am correct in the build and capture there isnt a sysprep like there was for XP. Make sure on your "Capture the Reference Machine" the Account is correct. If you have the wrong account, miss-typed username/pass it will fail there.

It is a station with Windows 7. I already removed the drivers and the boot images, and other boot images created and imported the drivers again. Not the right is the same error. 0x80004005
