    Hi , I am getting this error message when I try to update deployment share for AMD x64. I have MDT in a separate server and WDS in separate server. once the WIM is updated , I map the other server and update the boot image to the WDS to deployment.

    This  is the error message.

    I encountered the problem once and that was when I use to update the deployment share with the option "Optimize the boot image updating process." Can you try using the option "Completely regenerate the boot images." That is my only choice now to ensure nothing is left behind. Don't forget to update WDS with the new boot images.

    Try and mount the wim manually with imagex. If you get an error with access denied or file not found then it is most likely a antivirus program blocking the access. Last time I had this issue I uninstalled Checkpoint VPN, SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes.

    Please check if any policy blocking the permission to mount the image.

     Thanks every one, 

    I have un installed antivirus and updated the deployment share. But after deployment, when I deploy I am getting the error...

    "ZTI Error - Unhandeled Error returned by LTIApply: the subsystem needed to support the image type is not present"

    Any clue to help me out in this ??

    Many thanks,

    You are missing the setup files for the correct arch you're in. In MDT workbench; Import a full set of Windows source files for the WinPe arch your are booting from.

    I too am having this error. This is a fresh server 08 box with nothing else running on it, checked all the listed responses and I'm still having that issue. when I try to mount it using imagex I get the error "windows sim was unable to generate a catalog. Details: a required privilege is not held by the client"

    Hi,

    I replaced the OS completely and updated. Now I found the x86 wim file is bigger than the x64 bit...

    Any clue?

    Any clue?

    Is it the WinPe you're refering too?

    It could be that you have more drivers injected in the x86 than the x64.

    It could be that you are using Windows AIK for one WinPe and Windows 7 RTM for the other.

    It could be that you have selected to integrate Dart or some other component for x86 but not for x64.

    Do a complete rebuild of WinPe. Then check the output to see what is different.

    Hi,

    had exactly the same problem!

    Check privillages,

    had the same problem after a lockdown ran:

    ntrights.exe -u "Administrators" -r SeChangeNotifyPrivilege

    changed it back by running:

    ntrights.exe -u "Administrators" +r SeChangeNotifyPrivilege
