Sysprep/mini-setup problem

[Fatal0E]

I am trying to setup an image to be the template for our new VDI project. I have run into a problem with the mini setup setting the network information. I get this error "an unexpected error has occurred while changing your computer's network identification." I can then click OK and it goes on just fine and does set the proper name and workgroup.

Here is the Netsetup.log

I assume the problem is here ..
NetpCheckNetBiosNameNotInUse: for 'WORKGROUP' returned: 0x57
04/04 19:17:01 NetpCheckNetBiosNameNotInUse for 'WORKGROUP' [ Workgroup as MACHINE] returned 0x57

I do not know why it is checking the name workgroup. I even made sure to change the default workgroup name in setup so that the name workgroup should not be present at all.

Thank you for looking and any help you can offer.

The error code can stand for multiple things in this case it seems you have a duplicate name on the network either a machine or group.

Later on it checks to see if PCN is available and when it return 0 it went ahead and set the group.


I'm not familar with sysprep but I would check over the configurations again and try to find anything relate to the workgroup name if not check your test network and see if there is a duplicate somewhere, maybe your AD/PDC?

Re: Sysprep/mini-setup problem

All of my images are doing this check. The only one returning an error is the one on the Vsphere. I "solved" it by uninstalling the nic on the final image. It runs mini setup without a problem then reinstalled the nic when windows loads and all works perfect.
