Image Capture Boot Image Fails with 0xc000000f

I am trying to capture a Windows 8.1 Enterprise (with Update) x64 installation using WDS, but the Capture Image fails to load. I used the boot.wim from the Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update) ISO to create a boot image in WDS and then a capture image from it. After I press F12 and the progress bar finishes the following message appears:

This only happens when I boot the capture image - the original boot image that I imported in WDS boots normally. I also tried with the Windows 8.1 (with Update) boot.wim, but the issue reoccurs. This is a Hyper-V VM on Windows Server 2012. Is this a problem with the recent update?

Hi,

Were currently experiencing exactly the same issue. Also a fully-updated Server 2012R2 (with the recent KB2919355 update) machine.

So far, I found two other posts with exactly the same issue:

1) http://wp.secretnest.info/?p=1474
2) http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/472581-wds-capture-image-winload-exe-corrupt-or-missing

According to these posts it seems like the issue occurs after the first time a capture image based upon a Windows 8.1 or Server2012R2 boot.wim is created.

What Ive tried so far is removing the server role, deleting the WDS store, rebooting the server and start over with a Windows 7 boot.wim. The normal boot.wim starts ok, but the created capture image doesnt.

So the process of creating the capture boot image did something in a way the new boot.wim differences from the old boot.wim. To find out what, I first mounted the new .wim file to see if winload.exe is actually there it is both in system32 as well as systen32\boot. So my second guess was that the Windows Boot Manager cannot find the windows loader, because of an incorrect declaration of disks in the BCD store.

I used BCDEDIT to show the differences between the working and non-working boot images:

So the ID for the osdevice is the same, and only the device is different, but mentioned correctly under Device options (as far as my knowledge goes in this subject). I hope there will be a solution anytime soon.

Hi,

We are currently testing the same environment and will let you know once we got a result.

Meanwhile as you both mentioned that the issue occurs on a capture image of Windows 2012 R2 update1 system, will it work with a capture image of a Windows 2012 R2 system without update1?

April 22nd, 2014 1:47am

I can verify that i am having the exact same issue. I am in the process of redoing the server and testing with out update one installed.

Having the same issue here with Server 2012 R2 fully updated - even tried a full removal of the WDS role and a recreation of the remoteinstall folder with brand new boot images - this didn't resolve it.

I am trying a few things now, will update if I progress anywhere.

EDIT: Just tried rolling back KB2919355 - tried the capture image again with no chances, didn't work. Removed WDS Role, re-added and tried again - worked fine. Based on that, I'd say there's a good chance that the problem is due to the above update.

Okay guys, I think the problem is with every version of R2 server. I installed the "Windows 2012 Server (datacenter)" "Win_Svr_Std_and_DataCtr_2012_64Bit_English.iso" and created a capture image using the boot.wim of the same server I Installed and then booted to Capture image and VOILA! Now i'm going to try to use the same capture image that windows 2012 server datacenter built for me and I'll put it in R2 WDS and see if that works. I'm sure it will but ill update if this technique works!!

- Copying good copy of Capture.wim to R2 server didn't work.

I just experienced this same problem today when I attempted to create a Windows 8.1 Pro Capture image on a fully patched Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter server. No problems creating then Windows 8.1 Pro boot image. I need to deploy 500 Windows 8.1 Pro clients by the middle of May. Really need an answer soon.

Ok so maybe this problem is not isolated to 2012 R2 Datacenter. We just checked another server running Windows Server 2012 Datacenter. Same problem. No KB2919355 on either server.
April 23rd, 2014 1:36am

Hi Yordan,

In our test, we use boot.wim from Windows 8.1 ISO (Enterprise version. also tried Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter ISO) and create capture image on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Update1 server - both created successfully. 

I cannot find any difference between your steps and ours except you mentioned "used the boot.wim from the Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update) ISO". Where comes the ISO with Update1? We would like to have a try on this and see if it is the cause.

@Gavin: Your test seems directly related to KB2919355. What's the ISO you are using? Please have a try with boot.wim from a Windows Server 2012 R2 DataCenter ISO to see if you can get the same result as us.

@WillWally: It seems that your current situation is a little different as OP. If available please post a new thread and share your exact configuration so that we can discuss without confusion.

I can verify that my issue is related to the update 1 of 2012 r2. I had a fresh install and updated all but update 1. My capture images worked with no issues. install update 1 and they then started becoming corrupt. I really hope that there is a hotfix for this issue soon.
April 23rd, 2014 3:51pm

I've also experienced this issue, with a clean out of the box install of Server 2012 R2, with no updates.  The trigger for it, is adding a boot image from the recently released ISO of Windows 8.1 with the Update 1 included (SW_DVD9_SA_Win_Ent_8.1_64BIT_English_2_MLF_X19_49847.iso).  The fix for me, adapted from the details on http://wp.secretnest.info/?p=1474 was to remove the WDS role, reboot, delete the RemoteInstall\Boot folder, add the WDS role back, and add a different boot image.  I used the boot.wim from the Server 2012 R2 iso (en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_2707946.iso), and was able to create a working capture image for my 8.1 Update clients.

Hi all,

Thank you for sharing the information.

With updating the boot.wim to update1, we could reproduce this issue as the screenshot posted by Yordan.

We have already report this issue and hope it could be fixed quickly. 

April 24th, 2014 9:53am

Just wanted to update my situation with Windows server 2012 Datacenter. Same problem as reported here with Windows 2012 R2 with the exception of update 1. My Windows 2012 Datacenter server does not have Update 1. I was able to get a capture image to work by first creating it in WDS 2008 R2. I then exported the image and imported it to my 2012 Datacenter server. Image boots successfully. For whatever reason, 2012 Datacenter corrupts the capture image when you try a create one.

I know this isn't a fix for this problem BUT if you really need to get deployments done - MDT 2013 is really a HUGELY better product than WDS. I am really surprised to see so many people using WDS - it is so massively limited compared to the Free MDT 2013. It is very easy to set up.

Try chris blakey's workaround.

Worked for me too.  Only takes a minute.

Basically you create a  folder to mount the image to temporarily, mount the image, then unmount it, and for some reason that probably makes sense to chris blakey this fixes the corruption.  Then you have to re-create the 'Create' boot image in WDS with the same one you mounted.

I  dont have update KB2919355.  butt still O have this same error, did you how to solve this issue
July 11th, 2014 9:01am

I want to point something out about this:

When you install Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update (Update 1), it installs a copy of DISM into the tools folder that is version 6.3.9600.17029.  Just wanted to note that.

If you install a copy of Windows 8.1 with Update 1 from a Microsoft DVD, it can have build versions between 17029, 17030, and 17031, depending on whether the post-U1 version of Update 1 KB package is fully installed (it installs a second time after you install a pre-"patched" version of a U1 Windows 8.1 install).  The stock install AFAIK, always starts at 17029 though.

Now, when you patch an install of Windows 8.1 U1 with the post-U1 KB2912335 (I think that's the U1 KB number), the version of DISM in the system32 folder gets updated....HOWEVER, your installation of the ADK version of DISM *DOES NOT*.

In the example above, you'd be using the DISM from the Windows PATH, which would be the fully-patched U1 version of DISM, which you can see from the version number as being build 17031.

So the question is: are there conflicts with the builds in a stock Windows Setup U1 image (which would only ever be 17029), and a 17031 build of Windows Server 2012 R2 (or Windows 8.1)?

Has anyone here been able to patch a Windows Setup U1 image all the way to build 17031 by fully integrating the U1 KB, and then tried the WDS Capture build wizard?  I'm assuming here that WDS uses DISM in the system32 folder on the native install of Windows Server 2012 R2 U1, since it doesn't require the ADK.  Just wanted to point out that the ADK version will always show 17029.

Also, I want to point out that if you have a non-U1 version of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, your Client PC Restore images for WDS NEVER get updated to U1.  If you want to update them, you have to patch them yourself.  I've seen some problems with using the build 16384 boot images for restoring PC's that had U1 installed.

I just discovered another "bug" with DISM, just so people know about this:

I have had no luck mounting WIM files on a ReFS-formatted volume while trying the workaround explained by Chris.  I get an Error 50: the request is not supported.

So just FYI:  ONLY MOUNT WIM FILES ON NTFS VOLUMES.

Took me HOURS trying to figure out why I couldn't mount some images migrated from an old system to a new one....

Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials on WinServer 2012 R2 Hyper-V with tiered storage.  Separate VHDX's: 1 for OS, 1 for "ServerFolders" data folders formatted ReFS, 1 for WDS formatted NTFS, 1 for backup stored on an external hard drive.

The last setup I did was with 2012 before R2.  No ReFS.  Now, going with ReFS, noticing some limitations with it.  Good for raw data, bad for anything vaguely related to file system access - and that includes WIM support.

Can someone from Microsoft please confirm that this is a known issue with ReFS, and comment?  And where in the TechNet Library does it say that ReFS is not supported by WIM mount?

September 3rd, 2014 4:47am

The dism fix did not work for me for some reason. It would loads up fine, but it would come up with a blank screen instead of the capture wizard.

Regardless I have another fix for those lucky enough to have backup copy of their reminst folder from a non-update 1 installation. Even better if you already have the deploy and capture boot images in it already. Stop the WDS server and replace that backup version in the folder. Don't install any boot images with update 1 after that. It should work. 

Does anyone know any updates on this issue from Microsoft? We have workarounds, but this fundamentally feels broken. 

September 3rd, 2014 6:15pm

I am trying to capture a Windows 8.1 Enterprise (with Update) x64 installation using WDS, but the Capture Image fails to load. I used the boot.wim from the Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update) ISO to create a boot image in WDS and then a capture image from it. After I press F12 and the progress bar finishes the following message appears:

I have been working with Microsoft Technical Support on this issue.   Case 114072911658380

The case is now archived with Microsoft as they have escalated this to the relevant team.   They have reproduced this bug and they are working on an official fix / workaround article.    This may come in the form of a support article or a patch, but a fix is being worked on.

I have done my best to pressure the product group to officially put up a "fash publish" support.microsoft.com article, but so far this has not happened.   I am hopeful that this will however happen soon.

Here are the exact steps I used to fix the x64 capture image on our production WDS, using Saurabh.k' DISM fix (I assume that you know how to locate the capture WIM on disk, if not it will normally be located in RemoteInstall\Boot\<architecture>\Images\).
  1. Log on to your WDS server and create an empty directory that you can mount the WIM in (I used C:\MountDir)
  2. Open a command line window with administrator privileges, you'll run the two DISM commands here
  3. Mount the WIM file with the command dism /mount-wim /wimfile:<path-to-wim-file> /mountdir:<your-mount-dir-of-choice> /index:1
  4. Unmount the WIM file, committing changes (even though you didn't make any) with the command dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:<your-mount-dir-of-choice> /commit

Worked perfectly in my home lab and our production WDS at work. Both servers were running fully patched versions of Server 2012 R2. The capture image I had at home came from a Server 2012 R2 with Update ISO, while the one at work came from a Windows 8.1 with Update ISO. Neither worked before the fix.

Output from the successful fix at work:

ok now I found out that is was the wrong wim file i mounted.

but that only opens up for the next problem, where I get the windows loading logo and then black screen.

I get the same issue, have run through all the example resolution without any success.  Have also updated the capture boot.wim image using the process outlined (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn622020.aspx) and still have the bank screen after the initial boot sequence.

running windows server 2012R2 std. with all latest updates

Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031

Boot image is windows 8.1 direct for Microsoft volume licensing download.

I can boot fine from the original install, it's the capture disk that WDS creates that has the issue.

I am experiencing the same thing. Did you happen to find a solution?

Hi

Here's the solution that worked for me:

Log on to your WDS server and create an empty directory that you can mount the WIM in (I used C:\MountDir)Open a command line window with administrator privileges, you'll run the two DISM commands here

Mount the WIM file with the command

dism /mount-wim /wimfile: /mountdir: /index:1

Unmount the WIM file, committing changes (even though you didn't make any) with the command

dism /unmount-wim /mountdir: /commit

Then add your Capture Image to WDS Boot Image Folder...

The mount, unmount thing only help on the 0xc000000f error.

The black screen error that some of us are getting now, is a new error.

I think it has somthing to do with the driver in the boot.wim but i am not sure yet.

Same issue here.  Spun up a fresh 2008R2 box, configured WDS.  Created new boot.wim file and new capture image file.  Imported the .wim files from 2008R2 to 2012R2 box.  All is well.

If anyone is need.  here are our windows 8 boot files.

Just wanted to update my situation with Windows server 2012 Datacenter. Same problem as reported here with Windows 2012 R2 with the exception of update 1. My Windows 2012 Datacenter server does not have Update 1. I was able to get a capture image to work by first creating it in WDS 2008 R2. I then exported the image and imported it to my 2012 Datacenter server. Image boots successfully. For whatever reason, 2012 Datacenter corrupts the capture image when you try a create one.
Same problem, used a capture image from another server and it works fine.

The wim files from server 2008 R2 works. Thanks a lot.

Dear : ALL 

I faced this problem from 2 days and i spent many times try to fixing this problem and i solved it but you have common steps you should to do or sure its done :

im talking about WDS SERVER 2012 R2 :          PROBLEM ( 0XC000000F )

Common Steps :

1- DHCP Server  scope option

PXEClient = 060       add your WDS Server IP this you should add by manual in scope option 

boot server host name = 066    add your WDS Server IP

Boot file Name = 067                add ( \boot\x86\wdsnbp.com )

Now your Done in DHCP SERVER

2- When you install Clean WDS Server  ( win server 2012 R2 ) close Automatic Update For Windows and Remove

this Fucken Update  ( KB2919355 ) cause you will find this update installed by default  , Then Install your WDS Service ) and for configure server on any partition not in c:\   drive    ,     and save all images and capture you will add in RemoteInstall Folder 

3- Ports Allowed 

you should allow the following ports in your Firewall if you have and in your Antivirus server : 

TCP =   135 , 5040

RPC= 137 , 139 ,

UDP = 67 , 69 

DHCP= 4011 , 68 

TFTP = 64001 : 65000

I Hope this can help >>>!!!!

i also had to stop and restart the WDS service through the WDS console however i have written a simple batch script to simplify the process of moving, mounting, unmounting and  committing the images http://www.mediafire.com/view/ucauj2yahi4g0f8/WDStool.bat

hi

i just finished updating my Windows 8.1 Enterprise Master image (and do this in hyper-v on a windows 8.1 x64 client - fully patched) and the wsus is a Win 2012 r2 fully patched server also and get the same error when trying to capture now.

i was able to push the image into hyper-v and boot with a setup ok but am unable to capture now :\

i have recreated both setup and capture .wim files and restarted wds service in case the original files were corrupt - still no go.

any help would be much appreciated

thanks in advance : )

ok guys- here is what i did and what i found to be the problem -

i tried all the above and none of this worked so i ended up stopping my WDS server and built another WDS in hyper v on my file server - and voila! i imported my original boot wim's (capture and custom tools i have made on win pe) and everything works like before.

i also tried copying  winload.efi files from anotherwokring wds server (from another site) but that did not work also the files were exactly the same size hmm

must have been some corruption

my new server is fully patched also and one thing i have done is enabled system recovery, and made sure snapshots are taken before updates take place - so if something goes pear shaped - i can always go back

infact im gonna export this hyper v wds i built and bang it on the physical wds i used to have and turn that into a hyper v host instead.

hope this helps.

Worked for me Thanks

I used Mount-WindowsImage/Dismount-WindowsImage

I'm confused on which wim to use. Bear with me, I'm not incredibly smart with this stuff yet.

So I've captured my Windows 8.1 image to a wim file. Is that the file that I do the DISM patch on? Is there anything I have to change in the SCCM console afterward? I tried these steps, tried re-adding the OS image, tried creating a new task sequence, etc. I'm using the default boot images.

FYI:

Using a Capture Wim created on a Windows 2008 server solved the issue. Once created I right clicked my existing capture image on the Windows 2012 R2 server and selected replace.

Can I ask does anyone know if the version of DISM makes any difference? I've mounted an image from the "Deployment Tools Command Prompt" but the version is way behind.  6.1.7600.16385. 

I've yet to fully test but concerned by mounting using a old version will not fix the issue. Will update...

Hi,

I had this problem too.

Here is the way I solved it (I hope it will be useful):

(WDS and Dhcp are not on one server)

First remove my new and fully updated Win 2k12 R2 Then reinstall a 2K12 R2, this time I did not update the server and for boot image I imported the Win8.1 pro without update 1 , then make capture image.

Finally it work. I think there is something with latest update for 6.3 version of windows (Win 8.1 or Win Server)

thanks.
