JAMJENSEN Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hi, Is there any way to retrieve an errorlog if the unattended installation fails? or if you have experimentet with custom answerfiles and made a mistake with the settings?

Erik Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hi, There are a number of logs that will show you what has occurred during a deployment. Deploy.log: The deploy log is generated by the Deploy Wizard and can be found in two places. When in the SmartDeploy Boot Media you can find the Deploy.log in X:\Windows\Temp. Once the image deployment is completed the Deploy.log is copied to %systemroot%\Debug. This log will give you information on settings used in the Deploy Wizard, if the image applied successfully, and Platform Pack support/usage. Setupact.log: Once SmartDeploy finishes with applying the image the machine is rebooted and Sysprep is run. In Windows Vista/7 Sysprep logs success/failure to two logs depending on the phase of Sysprep. You can find information on the generalize phase at %systemroot%\System32\Sysprep\Panther\Setupact.log. You can find information for the additional stages of Sysprep at %systemroot%\Panther\Setupact.log. In Windows XP you can find the Setupact.log at %systemroot%\. This is generally where we see the most issue during deployment, you can find more information about common Sysprep problems here. Netsetup.log: If you experience problems joining a domain you can find logging information at %systemroot%\Debug\Netsetup.log. Hope that helps, Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
