    As mentioned, no. There is a known issue that is preventing it today. You should contact CSS.

    One possible solution is to replace the bootsect.exe on the boot image with a version from an earlier version of WinPE. This is not supported however has been reported to work.

    Hi guys,

    I installed ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 R2 and MDT 2013 in a test environment. As a result, I can't use anything related to MDT (create MDT boot image, create MDT TS etc) because of the same error - 800700C1.

    Tried everything I know; checked the configuration etc... still no luck.

    What is strange is that the PEManager.log looks ok if i'm trying to create a boot image. Every component addition exits with error code 0 however, the wizard ends with failed result, sometimes even before the component is fully added.

    Any hints, ideas where I can look for? Any more logs I can check?

    Thanks!!

    So you cannot deploy XP with R2 from the OS itself??

    Hey,

    Do you have guidelines how to replace bootsect.exe?

    PS. I tried to add boot images form WAIK 3.1 (windows 7) to my task sequence. It fails with same error.

    See the "Workaround" section of this post for an example of downgrading bootsect.exe:

    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6e934990-999a-4367-860a-3ce4e5eda956/sccm-2012-r2-error-0x800700c1?forum=configmanagerosd

    It is not the version of WinPE that is the problem here, but the version of bootsect.exe that gets injected into the boot media.

    This workaround worked in my environment.  Fixed my in-place upgrades from XP to Windows 7, and as a bonus, fixed imaging XP as well. yeah, I have to keep XP for awhile. :-(

     I have installed the CU1 for R2, which is supossed to contain this fix. Updated the boot images in the distribution points, but the issue still remains. Do you know any addiotional steps for this fix to work?

    Un saludo,

    I tried the CU1 update and it still would not work. Should I have installed the hotfix separately?

    Im almost tempted to just do everyone PXE at this point despite the cost of the additional resource to walk the floors.

    The hotfix (mentioned above or CU1 for R2) comes with a client patch. This has to be installed on the clients!

    Hi,

    Make sure that you update clients also, not only site server. And update boot images.

    Are you using WinPE 3.1 based boot images? This is a requirement for the hotfix or CU1 to address the issue.

    I have found that the boot images have to be generated from ADK 8.0 and not 8.1 as that is the problem. I have detailed instructions for importing a legacy boot image in SCCM to support windows XP migrations.

    WinPE 4.0 based boot images are not technically supported by ConfigMgr 2012 R2. The recommended solution is to use WinPE 3.1 boot images as mentioned. These need to be updated after CU1 is applied and CU1 needs to be deployed to the target XP systems.

    Can you still use Windows XP in-place upgrade to Windows 7 ( Wipe and Load) with the new ADK 8.1 version with  installed with SCCM 2012 SP R2 CU1.?

    Yes, but you need to use WinPE 3.1 as your boot image if you are using the refresh scenario. For the new computer scenario, this is not necessary.
