I created an image, uploaded it to sccm. I can deploy to 2 other systems fine, but on the gx 380, I get this error during the Install windows part. I checked the answer file for errors, and none appear. I included the applicable answer file section here in case something isn't working. Is there a reason it would work on 2 other models and not one particular? Here is the command I used to sysprep the machine originally: sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:unattend.xml Error: Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize] The settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft Shell Setup] Here is the section of my anser file: <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile> <DoNotCleanTaskBar>true</DoNotCleanTaskBar> <ComputerName>*</ComputerName> <ShowWindowsLive>false</ShowWindowsLive> <TimeZone>Mountain Standard Time</TimeZone> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-IE-InternetExplorer" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DisableAccelerators>true</DisableAccelerators> <DisableFirstRunWizard>true</DisableFirstRunWizard> <DisableOOBAccelerators>true</DisableOOBAccelerators> <EnableLinksBar>false</EnableLinksBar> <FavoritesDelete>false</FavoritesDelete> <Home_Page></Home_Page> <FavoritesOnTop>true</FavoritesOnTop> <LocalIntranetSites>site</LocalIntranetSites> <ShowMenuBar>true</ShowMenuBar> </component> </settings>

could the cpu be 64 bit on the GX380 ? from your answer file... > processorArchitecture="x86" My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady windowsnoob.com is also on Twitter > windowsnoob

They both have the same processor (Processor,E7500,2.93) They are all dual core capable of 64 bit, but we are putting 32 bit on. Other sections of the answer file that reference the x86 do not seem to matter. It works on E6400, E6410, and GX360. Do you suggest just trying the 64 bit architecture consistently through the answer file? Does the answer file reference the hardware or just the OS? I thought choosing the architecture in the answer file depeneded on what OS bit version was.

Thanks for pointing me to that. The first error says [Shel Unattend] Computer Name:failed to set the computer name [hr=0x80070057][gle=0x00000057] Exiting specialize pass with status 0x80070057 then down a little more there is an error [windeploy.exe] setuup.exe failed. returning exit code [0x1f] then [windeploy.exe] failure occured during online installation. Online installation cannot complete at this time."hr=0x80004005

well you'll need to take one error at a time, are you specifying a product key in the ts ? also have a look at this post My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

Well after seeing the computer name error I figured it must be something cached somewhere wrong, why else would it only affect one computer. So I prestaged the computer with a different computer name and it worked! I can't beleive how embarrased I feel. The computer name was just 380 before. I am not sure why it didn't like 380 but oh well.
