SCCM 2007 SP2 - Build and Capture Server 2012 R2

Is there any limitation in SCCM 2007 SP2 R3  to build and capture Windows server 2012 R2 images

I am trying to create a new Image for Win 2012 R2  and It fails with this error 

How can i fix it  , some post suggest manually running sysprep and then use imageX to capture

Eswar is correct

ConfigMgr 2007 does not support the Operating System Deployment of Windows 8 versions and above or Server 2012 versions and above.
