Hello,

Trying to re-image PC (Dell, HP, etc) I get a SysPrep error stating it can't validate the Windows Installation.

I've noticed this happens using the ISO version 1903 & 1909, even after doing the updates in VM. I'm only successful with a deployment using  ISO 1809, along with the updates.

Is there a workaround/fix/trick to get the newest ISO to work? 

Finding out the issue is with the September update of the Microsoft ISO image. I reverted back to the March version and worked like a charm. Just FYI.

Thank you!

Hello!

I've been trying to reimage a few HP 450 G6 laptops, however after the SmartDeploy sysprep is finished and the machine reboots, I get an instant blue screen that Windows needs to be repaired.I'm noticing that it's keeping the OEM windows install, which I think may be causing the boot issue.

Is there something with the HP's that I need to change before attempting to reimage these laptops? It gives me the option to choose which operating system to start with but cannot get to a point to delete the 2nd Windows 10 OS.

Thank you all.

Hi,

I'm looking to refresh the OS only on a remote PC, but am unsure of how this part works.

It's a Windows 10 machine that's become unruly and would like to try and reset the OS before reverting to re-imaging the whole thing. 

Thank you in advance!

I have the same issue, thanks for the headsup!

I'm receiving the "unable to connect to the SmartDeploy console service" after logging in. Is anyone experiencing this issue right now?

Thank you for this. I was testing this myself and ran into a snag.
