MDT 2012 Capture Win7 Machine Fails Part Way through WIM Creation

Proposed MDT 2012 Capture Win7 Machine Fails Part Way through WIM Creation

    My sysprep/capture has worked for months to capture a Win7SP1 Pro reference computer that's configured exactly as I want to deploy to new machines.  After adding Oracle's VirtualBox in order to run an XP-only program (that works just fine in my Win7 VM), I get the dreaded RC=2 80004005 error.  The Create WIM task runs for about 45 minutes with the WIM showing up in the Captures folder and growing just fine (by hitting refresh, I can see the file size increase).  However, the Capture then fails and the WIM is deleted in the server's Captures folder.  In looking at the ZTIBackup.log (last part of file included below), I see that it's failing on the vdi created by VirtualBox.  And FWIW, I'm able to see the file that's causing the error by opening a command prompt and doing a "dir" command within the Solutions Accelerator, so I don't think it's a rights or access denied issue directly.

    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Lack of space or an intermittent network problem is likely to be the fault here.

    Of the 2 options, I suspect the first.

    I notice the file WinXP.vdi is trying to be backed up - I would suspect that this is a *fairly* large file and may cause space issues on your network share.

    I guess it's worth mentioning - but is the drive you are capturing to NTFS rather than Fat32? I Think this is extraordinarily unlikely but may be a reason for it failing if the wim gets too large.

    While this is a large file (WinXP.vdi is 6GB), the destination drive has over 238GB of free space.  Both the drive being captured and the destination are formatted in NTFS.  The total WIM should be approximately 16GB if it is fully created.

    The VM being captured and the physical destination machine are both on the same subnetwork at 1GB speed.

    Thank you for your input so far, but are there other ideas?

    Can you try capturing to a different share and see if you get an error?

    Exact same error when trying to capture to a different share.  Other thoughts?

    I would try to do a manual capture and see if it works, so deploy your XP, sysprep it, shut down and use imagex. I am not sure what could be the cause of the break, other than may be a bad image or network connection.

    I tried to do a manual capture using imagex and got the same error:

    [ ERROR ] D:\USERS\quantech\VirtualBox VMs\WinXP\WinXP.vdi (Error = 2)

    Error imaging drive [D:\]

    Help!!

    Found a workaround, but not particularly happy with it.

    1.  Moved offending file to file server

    2.  Ran MDT capture job as normally done successfully in the past.

    3.  Run MDT deployment job to new machine as done successfully in the past.

    4.  Copied the offending file back on to the new machine.

    Question:  is there any way to automatically inject the file during the deploy portion of MDT?  If so, how do I adjust the Task Sequence (or job) in MDT 2012 to do that?

    Thanks.

    I am able to capture a win7 image without any additional applications installed using MDT 2012 update 1 but when I try to capture an win7 system with other software installed it fails about half way thru the capture giving a messsage

    Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005

    turned out to be a disk space problem - ran out of space on the deployment share - it's working now
