Hi.
During our Win7x64SP1 OSD deployments, lately and more frequently of late, aftersome systems run the Install Software Updates (All Software Updates) step, the systems reboot as called for by the updates being installed.
After the reboot the TS does not continue and the system is at the login screen for windows and stuck in provisioning mode.
We are experiencing this on desktops and laptops, but it is hit and miss when and where it happens. The only possible pattern would be that it had never happened at the main office. Every single one that I am aware of has occurred in remote offices. These offices still have hundreds/thousands of systems, but that is the only commonality if any.
After the reboot, the following is the only obvious error logged:
smsts.log
Failed to set log directory. Some execution history may be lost.
The system cannot find the file specified. (Error: 80070002; Source: Windows)
Executing task sequence
Task Sequence environment not found. Task sequence completed in Windows PE.
Uninstalling Setup Hook
The error above suggests to me that something rebooted the system, and the TS environment was not saved.
In Windows System logs, i see this at the time the reboot is initiated:
The process C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe (machinebeingimaging) has initiated the restart of computermachinebeingimaging on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Operating System: Upgrade (Planned)
Reason Code: 0x80020003
Shutdown Type: restart
Comment:
I’ve read in the forum how NIC drivers could cause this ( Not getting in IP), but I’m seeing it companywide basically and on all models of machines.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Here are the updates being installed if it matters before the reboot:
