Hello. My environment is SCCM 2007 SP2 with R3 and MDT 2010 Update integration. We use a custom database that contains keyboard, computer name, OU, etc settings. I use ztigather to get this information and update the unattend.xml using zticonfigure. I have a new site that I am having problems deploying Windows 7 at. The task sequence is hanging at the zticonfigure step. Everything in ztigather.log looks correct. When I examine zticonfigure.log, it has the below only. It is like it is stuck updating the unattend.xml. What is strange is that there is a site only a few miles away that is using almost the same settings and the build works properly there. Has anyone seen this behavior before?

Hi, Please check if the version of the boot image is WinPE 3.0.

I found the problem. I used the /debug:true switch on the zticonfigure step. This allowed me to see exactly where it was hanging. I checked the ztigather log again and saw that it was passing an invalid value from an SQL table. I corrected it and the step completes now.
