Good morning, I am having problems with sysprep. My capture windows xp task sequence is successful all the way to the point of running sysprep command failure on prepare os step. The error I am receiving on the Windows PE screen is: Error - 0x00000001 Here is my Log: <![LOG[LOGGING: Finalize process ID set to 1896]LOG]!><time="08:46:24.390+300" date="11-03-2010" component="OSDSetupHook" context="" type="1" thread="1900" file="tslogging.cpp:1489"> <![LOG[!sVolumeID.empty(), HRESULT=80004005 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\framework\tscore\resolvesource.cpp,467)]LOG]!><time="08:46:24.421+300" date="11-03-2010" component="OSDSetupHook" context="" type="0" thread="1900" file="resolvesource.cpp:467"> <![LOG[!sTSMDataPath.empty(), HRESULT=80070002 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\framework\tscore\resolvesource.cpp,1395)]LOG]!><time="08:46:24.421+300" date="11-03-2010" component="OSDSetupHook" context="" type="0" thread="1900" file="resolvesource.cpp:1395"> <![LOG[TS::Utility::GetTSMDataPath( sDataDir ), HRESULT=80070002 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\client\osdeployment\osdgina\osdsetuphook.cpp,174)]LOG]!><time="08:46:24.421+300" date="11-03-2010" component="OSDSetupHook" context="" type="0" thread="1900" file="osdsetuphook.cpp:174"> <![LOG[Failed to set log directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

then there is a good chance the sysprep folder has not been placed i C i the first place... http://kongkuba1.spaces.live.com

That log file snippet above is nothing but errors. How did you create the TS? Can you list the tasks in it? Is it a full Build and Capture TS? How did you create your Sysprep package?Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys
