    I am trying to capture a Windows 8.1 Enterprise (with Update) x64 installation using WDS, but the Capture Image fails to load. I used the boot.wim from the Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update) ISO to create a boot image in WDS and then a capture image from it. After I press F12 and the progress bar finishes the following message appears:

    This only happens when I boot the capture image - the original boot image that I imported in WDS boots normally. I also tried with the Windows 8.1 (with Update) boot.wim, but the issue reoccurs. This is a Hyper-V VM on Windows Server 2012. Is this a problem with the recent update?

    Hi,

    We’re currently experiencing exactly the same issue. Also a fully-updated Server 2012R2 (with the recent KB2919355 update) machine.

    So far, I found two other posts with exactly the same issue:

    1) http://wp.secretnest.info/?p=1474
    2) http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/472581-wds-capture-image-winload-exe-corrupt-or-missing

    According to these posts it seems like the issue occurs after the first time a capture image based upon a Windows 8.1 or Server2012R2 boot.wim is created.

    What I’ve tried so far is removing the server role, deleting the WDS store, rebooting the server and start over with a Windows 7 boot.wim. The normal boot.wim starts ok, but the created capture image doesn’t.

    So the process of creating the capture boot image did ‘something’ in a way the new boot.wim differences from the old boot.wim. To find out what, I first mounted the new .wim file to see if winload.exe is actually there – it is both in system32 as well as systen32\boot. So my second guess was that the Windows Boot Manager cannot find the windows loader, because of an incorrect declaration of disks in the BCD store.

    I used BCDEDIT to show the differences between the working and non-working boot images:

    Windows Boot Loader

ramdiskmctftpfallback   Yes


    So the ID for the osdevice is the same, and only the device is different, but mentioned correctly under Device options (as far as my knowledge goes in this subject). I hope there will be a solution anytime soon.

    Hi,

    We are currently testing the same environment and will let you know once we got a result.

    Meanwhile as you both mentioned that the issue occurs on a capture image of Windows 2012 R2 update1 system, will it work with a capture image of a Windows 2012 R2 system without update1?

    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to tnfsl@microsoft.com.

    Having the same issue here with Server 2012 R2 fully updated - even tried a full removal of the WDS role and a recreation of the remoteinstall folder with brand new boot images - this didn't resolve it.

    I am trying a few things now, will update if I progress anywhere.

    EDIT: Just tried rolling back KB2919355 - tried the capture image again with no chances, didn't work. Removed WDS Role, re-added and tried again - worked fine. Based on that, I'd say there's a good chance that the problem is due to the above update.

    Okay guys, I think the problem is with every version of R2 server. I installed the "Windows 2012 Server (datacenter)" "Win_Svr_Std_and_DataCtr_2012_64Bit_English.iso" and created a capture image using the boot.wim of the same server I Installed and then booted to Capture image and VOILA! Now i'm going to try to use the same capture image that windows 2012 server datacenter built for me and I'll put it in R2 WDS and see if that works. I'm sure it will but ill update if this technique works!!

    - Copying good copy of Capture.wim to R2 server didn't work.

    I just experienced this same problem today when I attempted to create a Windows 8.1 Pro Capture image on a fully patched Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter server. No problems creating then Windows 8.1 Pro boot image. I need to deploy 500 Windows 8.1 Pro clients by the middle of May. Really need an answer soon.

    Ok so maybe this problem is not isolated to 2012 R2 Datacenter. We just checked another server running Windows Server 2012 Datacenter. Same problem. No KB2919355 on either server.

    Hi Yordan,

    In our test, we use boot.wim from Windows 8.1 ISO (Enterprise version. also tried Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter ISO) and create capture image on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Update1 server - both created successfully. 

    I cannot find any difference between your steps and ours except you mentioned "used the boot.wim from the Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update) ISO". Where comes the ISO with Update1? We would like to have a try on this and see if it is the cause.

    @Gavin: Your test seems directly related to KB2919355. What's the ISO you are using? Please have a try with boot.wim from a Windows Server 2012 R2 DataCenter ISO to see if you can get the same result as us.

    @WillWally: It seems that your current situation is a little different as OP. If available please post a new thread and share your exact configuration so that we can discuss without confusion.

    I can verify that my issue is related to the update 1 of 2012 r2. I had a fresh install and updated all but update 1. My capture images worked with no issues. install update 1 and they then started becoming corrupt. I really hope that there is a hotfix for this issue soon.

    I've also experienced this issue, with a clean out of the box install of Server 2012 R2, with no updates.  The trigger for it, is adding a boot image from the recently released ISO of Windows 8.1 with the Update 1 included (SW_DVD9_SA_Win_Ent_8.1_64BIT_English_2_MLF_X19_49847.iso).  The fix for me, adapted from the details on http://wp.secretnest.info/?p=1474 was to remove the WDS role, reboot, delete the RemoteInstall\Boot folder, add the WDS role back, and add a different boot image.  I used the boot.wim from the Server 2012 R2 iso (en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_2707946.iso), and was able to create a working capture image for my 8.1 Update clients.

    Just wanted to update my situation with Windows server 2012 Datacenter. Same problem as reported here with Windows 2012 R2 with the exception of update 1. My Windows 2012 Datacenter server does not have Update 1. I was able to get a capture image to work by first creating it in WDS 2008 R2. I then exported the image and imported it to my 2012 Datacenter server. Image boots successfully. For whatever reason, 2012 Datacenter corrupts the capture image when you try a create one.

    I know this isn't a fix for this problem BUT if you really need to get deployments done - MDT 2013 is really a HUGELY better product than WDS. I am really surprised to see so many people using WDS - it is so massively limited compared to the Free MDT 2013. It is very easy to set up.

    Привет!

    По английски плохо пишу-говорю, долго.

    Поэтому вкратце как решил данную проблему.

    KB291935 у себя не нашел, хотя установлено самое последние обноввления Win Srv 2012

    Пробовал переустановить WDS, не помогло.

    Начал разбирать образы

    причем отличие win-файла образа от win-файла образа записи еще и в том, что в образе загрузки 2 образа, а в созданном в WDS файле WIM один образ.

    , нашел отличие в одно файле, в CaptureImage есть файл winpeshl.ini

    с содержимым, 

    [LaunchApps]%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\wdscapture.exe
    Как создать ручками CaptureImage 
    (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730907%28v=ws.10%29.aspx#BKMK_custom)
    Экспортируем Образ загрузки из WDS.
    В моем образе загрузки Win8.1 два образа
    Монтируем его с помошью утилиты DISM (DISM /?) index 2
    Вставляем файл winpeshl.ini в windows\system32\
    Сохраняем изменения, отключаем образ.
    Измененный образ добавляем в WDS в образы загрузки.
    Уррррааааа, заработало!!!

    This was confirmed on April 24th as a known issue.  It is now May 31st and the issue is unresolved and uncommented upon by MS in this thread for almost a month.  Using a capture.wim created by another server isn't always possible - is there another workaround for people who can only use Server 2012 R2 besides removing U1 (which is a MAJOR patch covering many known issues)?

    Here are the exact steps I used to fix the x64 capture image on our production WDS, using Saurabh.k' DISM fix (I assume that you know how to locate the capture WIM on disk, if not it will normally be located in RemoteInstall\Boot\<architecture>\Images\).

    1. Log on to your WDS server and create an empty directory that you can mount the WIM in (I used C:\MountDir)
    2. Open a command line window with administrator privileges, you'll run the two DISM commands here
    3. Mount the WIM file with the command dism /mount-wim /wimfile:<path-to-wim-file> /mountdir:<your-mount-dir-of-choice> /index:1
    4. Unmount the WIM file, committing changes (even though you didn't make any) with the command dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:<your-mount-dir-of-choice> /commit

    Worked perfectly in my home lab and our production WDS at work. Both servers were running fully patched versions of Server 2012 R2. The capture image I had at home came from a Server 2012 R2 with Update ISO, while the one at work came from a Windows 8.1 with Update ISO. Neither worked before the fix.

    Output from the successful fix at work:

    Try chris blakey's workaround.

    Worked for me too.  Only takes a minute.

    Basically you create a  folder to mount the image to temporarily, mount the image, then unmount it, and for some reason that probably makes sense to chris blakey this fixes the corruption.  Then you have to re-create the 'Create' boot image in WDS with the same one you mounted.

    In addition to the above steps to Mount the Capture Image then Unmount with /Commit switch, I had to do the following to get this to work:

    1. Delete the existing capture image in the WDS console and then upload the newly committed capture image
    2. Stop and start the WDS service through the WDS console

    Not sure if theses steps were missed in Rolf HH instructions or whether this is additional step in some cases.

    I encountered the same issue today trying to capture a image of Windows 8.1 w/Updates. Thank you all for you posts.

    Paul - I did the additional steps witch helped but I also had to Replace Image using the same captureimage.wim file.

    My steps:

    1. Create MountDir and Mount WIM then Unmount WIM, shown above.
    2. Deleted and recreated Capture Image
    3. Replaced Capture Image using same captureimage.wim file.
    4.  Stop & Start WDS

    Thanks again! Help me save a lot of time!!

    Not so many thanks to Microsoft for it still being broken in September.

    The dism fix did not work for me for some reason. It would loads up fine, but it would come up with a blank screen instead of the capture wizard.

    Regardless I have another fix for those lucky enough to have backup copy of their reminst folder from a non-update 1 installation. Even better if you already have the deploy and capture boot images in it already. Stop the WDS server and replace that backup version in the folder. Don't install any boot images with update 1 after that. It should work. 

    Does anyone know any updates on this issue from Microsoft? We have workarounds, but this fundamentally feels broken.

    I am trying to capture a Windows 8.1 Enterprise (with Update) x64 installation using WDS, but the Capture Image fails to load. I used the boot.wim from the Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update) ISO to create a boot image in WDS and then a capture image from it. After I press F12 and the progress bar finishes the following message appears:

    This only happens when I boot the capture image - the original boot image that I imported in WDS boots normally. I also tried with the Windows 8.1 (with Update) boot.wim, but the issue reoccurs. This is a Hyper-V VM on Windows Server 2012. Is this a problem with the recent update?


    I have been working with Microsoft Technical Support on this issue.   Case 114072911658380

    The case is now archived with Microsoft as they have escalated this to the relevant team.   They have reproduced this bug and they are working on an official fix / workaround article.    This may come in the form of a support article or a patch, but a fix is being worked on.

    I have done my best to pressure the product group to officially put up a "fash publish" support.microsoft.com article, but so far this has not happened.   I am hopeful that this will however happen soon.

    Here are the exact steps I used to fix the x64 capture image on our production WDS, using Saurabh.k' DISM fix (I assume that you know how to locate the capture WIM on disk, if not it will normally be located in RemoteInstall\Boot\<architecture>\Images\).
    1. Log on to your WDS server and create an empty directory that you can mount the WIM in (I used C:\MountDir)
    2. Open a command line window with administrator privileges, you'll run the two DISM commands here
    3. Mount the WIM file with the command dism /mount-wim /wimfile:<path-to-wim-file> /mountdir:<your-mount-dir-of-choice> /index:1
    4. Unmount the WIM file, committing changes (even though you didn't make any) with the command dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:<your-mount-dir-of-choice> /commit

    Worked perfectly in my home lab and our production WDS at work. Both servers were running fully patched versions of Server 2012 R2. The capture image I had at home came from a Server 2012 R2 with Update ISO, while the one at work came from a Windows 8.1 with Update ISO. Neither worked before the fix.

    Output from the successful fix at work:

    C:\>dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\RemoteInstall\Boot\x64\Images\capture_x64.wim /mountdir:C:\MountDir /index:1

    WDS Server is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard; Capture image is based on a Windows 7 Professional boot.wim file. This workaround saved me oodles of time!

    Just a note: You are not supposed to use WDS for deployment/capture, only for PXE booting the actual boot images. Use the real deployment solution from Microsoft that integrates nicely with WDS (MDT 2013).

    Hi

    Here's the solution that worked for me:

    Log on to your WDS server and create an empty directory that you can mount the WIM in (I used C:\MountDir)Open a command line window with administrator privileges, you'll run the two DISM commands here

    Mount the WIM file with the command

    dism /mount-wim /wimfile: /mountdir: /index:1

    Unmount the WIM file, committing changes (even though you didn't make any) with the command

    dism /unmount-wim /mountdir: /commit

    Then add your Capture Image to WDS Boot Image Folder...

    The mount, unmount thing only help on the 0xc000000f error.

    The black screen error that some of us are getting now, is a new error.

    I think it has somthing to do with the driver in the boot.wim but i am not sure yet.

    Just wanted to update my situation with Windows server 2012 Datacenter. Same problem as reported here with Windows 2012 R2 with the exception of update 1. My Windows 2012 Datacenter server does not have Update 1. I was able to get a capture image to work by first creating it in WDS 2008 R2. I then exported the image and imported it to my 2012 Datacenter server. Image boots successfully. For whatever reason, 2012 Datacenter corrupts the capture image when you try a create one.
    Same problem, used a capture image from another server and it works fine.

    Dear : ALL 

    I faced this problem from 2 days and i spent many times try to fixing this problem and i solved it but you have common steps you should to do or sure its done :

    im talking about WDS SERVER 2012 R2 :          PROBLEM ( 0XC000000F )

    Common Steps :

    1- DHCP Server  scope option

    PXEClient = 060       add your WDS Server IP this you should add by manual in scope option 

    boot server host name = 066    add your WDS Server IP

    Boot file Name = 067                add ( \boot\x86\wdsnbp.com )

    Now your Done in DHCP SERVER

    2- When you install Clean WDS Server  ( win server 2012 R2 ) close Automatic Update For Windows and Remove

    this Fucken Update  ( KB2919355 ) cause you will find this update installed by default  , Then Install your WDS Service ) and for configure server on any partition not in c:\   drive    ,     and save all images and capture you will add in RemoteInstall Folder 

    3- Ports Allowed 

    you should allow the following ports in your Firewall if you have and in your Antivirus server : 

    TCP =   135 , 5040

    RPC= 137 , 139 ,

    UDP = 67 , 69 

    DHCP= 4011 , 68

    ok guys- here is what i did and what i found to be the problem -

    i tried all the above and none of this worked so i ended up stopping my WDS server and built another WDS in hyper v on my file server - and voila! i imported my original boot wim's (capture and custom tools i have made on win pe) and everything works like before.

    i also tried copying  winload.efi files from anotherwokring wds server (from another site) but that did not work also the files were exactly the same size hmm

    must have been some corruption

    my new server is fully patched also and one thing i have done is enabled system recovery, and made sure snapshots are taken before updates take place - so if something goes pear shaped - i can always go back

    infact im gonna export this hyper v wds i built and bang it on the physical wds i used to have and turn that into a hyper v host instead.

    hope this helps.

    I'm confused on which wim to use. Bear with me, I'm not incredibly smart with this stuff yet.

    So I've captured my Windows 8.1 image to a wim file. Is that the file that I do the DISM patch on? Is there anything I have to change in the SCCM console afterward? I tried these steps, tried re-adding the OS image, tried creating a new task sequence, etc. I'm using the default boot images.

    Any actual Clear instructions for people on doing this?

    Nick "The Naked MVP" Whittome

    Here are the exact steps I used to fix the x64 capture image on our production WDS, using Saurabh.k' DISM fix (I assume that you know how to locate the capture WIM on disk, if not it will normally be located in RemoteInstall\Boot\<architecture>\Images\).

    1. Log on to your WDS server and create an empty directory that you can mount the WIM in (I used C:\MountDir)
    2. Open a command line window with administrator privileges, you'll run the two DISM commands here
    3. Mount the WIM file with the command dism /mount-wim /wimfile:<path-to-wim-file> /mountdir:<your-mount-dir-of-choice> /index:1
    4. Unmount the WIM file, committing changes (even though you didn't make any) with the command dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:<your-mount-dir-of-choice> /commit

    Worked perfectly in my home lab and our production WDS at work. Both servers were running fully patched versions of Server 2012 R2. The capture image I had at home came from a Server 2012 R2 with Update ISO, while the one at work came from a Windows 8.1 with Update ISO. Neither worked before the fix.

    Output from the successful fix at work:

    C:\>dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\RemoteInstall\Boot\x64\Images\capture_x64.wim /mountdir:C:\MountDir /index:1

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

Unmounting image

The operation completed successfully.

    After mount and unmount as shown here I had to also do this to make the capture image load:

    1) From the WDS console, right click the capture image in the Boot Images section.  Click Replace Image.

    2) Browse to the image you just mounted and unmounted, select it to replace the existing image

    3) close WDS console and restart windows deployment services server from services.msc

    It must be using some kind of cache, errors persisted until I used the replace image option following the mount and unmount.  Did not have to delete the capture image from the console, did not have to use any server 2008.

    On another note, Microsoft, fix this problem it's been almost a year now.

    Hi,

    I had this problem too.

    Here is the way I solved it (I hope it will be useful):

    (WDS and Dhcp are not on one server)

    First remove my new and fully updated Win 2k12 R2 Then reinstall a 2K12 R2, this time I did not update the server and for boot image I imported the Win8.1 pro without update 1 , then make capture image.

    Finally it work. I think there is something with latest update for 6.3 version of windows (Win 8.1 or Win Server)

    That did it for me too, I scripted it. I did find that the copy of windows 8.1 I had, still did not work. So I tried it with a windows 7, and that script. 

    dism /mount-wim /wimfile:D:\wds\capture\satellitea135.wim /mountdir:D:\wds\capture\MountDir /index:1
    dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:D:\wds\capture\MountDir /commit

    If it is any use to you, copy and edit it. 

    Make sure you create that MountDir first.

    I am struggling with the same issue.

    I believe the problem is in WDS.

    PXE boot loads the "boot.wim" image  but not the "capture boot image"

    When we try to create capture boot image from boot.wim, it doesn't capture all the files from boot.wim.

    If you compare the file size of capture boot image with boot.wim, file size is small.

    The result when we try to load the capture boot image using PXE boot, it gives an error that "required files are missing or contains error"

    NOTE: While this method is clearly not ideal, it does work and works well. I just wanted to share this in case anyone is at the point of pulling out their hair or looking for another solution with Symantec or something else.

    So like everyone else I was getting the Black Screen of doom. We have more of a customized setup as I am running Hyper-V on a (2) node 2012R2 Cluster.  From the cluster I stood up a virtual 2012R2 WDS Server in Stand alone mode running DHCP locally as we are not allowed to join this server to the Domain, or AD and is also running in a private VLAN. The goal was to use WDS to image computers with a Dell OEM version of Windows 7 SP1 x86 including updates and custom apps. As it stands OEM is not supported by WDS so we did use a Windows 7 x86 Volume License copy to create the capture and boot images. 

    No matter with our with out the KB2919355 or using dism from the server or dism from the AIK tools to unpack/repack the capture.wim, nothing worked. The best I got was a mouse cursor and the black screen. I also tried to capture just the Windows 7 VL, and or Dell OEM with no dice no matter which way I tried. I also rebuilt the server a total of three times as well trying different methods with no updates, all updates except KB2919355, or all updates period. As a work around I went forth and made a custom WindowPE disk to create the image and push it to the server. Below are the steps I took.

    Create Bootable Windows PE Media (AIK) (POSReady 7)

    NOTE:     If you need to create a USB thumb drive from an ISO I was able to use ISO to USB, make sure to check mark the Make Bootable option and you should be good to go.

    Add Device Drivers on an Offline Windows PE Image

    NOTE: Make sure to read the comments at the bottom as you need to copy the file winpe.wim to boot.wim before you create the ISO or no drivers will be in your WindownPE

    ---

    Once you have PE usb/cd created you would still do the normal sysprep/ generilze obo /shutdown on the computer you want to create the image from. Once shutdown you then want to boot off the windowsPE disk and then follow the remaining steps to capture the image and place it on the WDS server

    Hope this has been useful for you, good luck and happy deploying :)

    This issue is also present in Windows Server Technical Preview, haven't tried to find the KB patch for it what I did do however is just use an boot.wim from windows 7 and it is able to boot just fine, I'll be testing my images to a VM after they capture.

    Hi,

    I check the thread and some cases related to this thread. Here are 2 suggestions provided by Microsoft. Please see if it could help:

    Use Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2013 to run sysprep and capture.  

    or

    Create capture image on Windows Server 2008 R2 WDS and then import the image to Windows Server 2012 R2 WDS.  

    Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and un-mark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact tnmff@microsoft.com.

    Can confirm this works! Rolling back that WinUpdate didn't work, mounting/unmounting the capture wim didn't work, but creating the capture file on a Server 2008 box then moving it to the deployment server worked!

    I just had this issue and initially, the dism method did not work because I completed the commands on the capture.wim file located in my C:\remoteinstall\boot\x64\images\ drive. To get it to work, I removed the capture.wim boot image from Windows Deployment Services MMC. I then ran the two commands listed above to the capture.wim file that I first created which was located on my D:\Images folder. I went back into WDS, right clicked on Boot Images->Add a Boot Image. Browsed to my D:\Images\capture.wim file. Once the file was added, I booted up the desktop, hit F12, selected my capture file and it is now capturing. Below are the commands used.

    1. dism /mount-wim /wimfile:<path-to-wim-file> /mountdir:<your-mount-dir-of-choice> /index:1
    2. dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:<your-mount-dir-of-choice> /commit

    Thank you to everyone on this page.

    One of the workarounds is to mount the capture.wim file using dism, do not make any changes. Unmount it with /commit switch. 

    thank mate! that totally worked! :) 2012R2server with all patches to date.
    microsoft please fix : (

    this link resolved for me this issue

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730907(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_custom

        • I created capture image
        • Mount the image using either DISM
        • Create a Winpeshl.ini file in the Windows\System32 folder of the custom boot image with one of the following sections.
    Capture Images. 
    [LaunchApps]%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\wdscapture.exe
  • Discover Images. 
    [LaunchApps]%SYSTEMROOT%\sources\setup.exe, "/wds /wdsdiscover"
    or 
    [LaunchApps]%SYSTEMROOT%\sources\setup.exe, "/wds /wdsdiscover /wdsserver:<server>"

    This has worked for so many but not for me! I'm using a Win7 SP1 Disc, so that may be the cause.. Although this should have been fixed by Microsoft already.

    Thank you very much, this fixed it for me as well.  Glad I didn't blow WDS away and reinstall only to have it still broken.

    It's still broken, in case anyone cares.  But mount with dism, unmount and commit, then delete and re-add the image in the WDS console, then restart the service....it worked for me, too.

    Ok, 2 years later, and this is STILL a problem!  Server 2012 R2, 000000f error when trying to create a win8.1 capture image.  I've tried the following:

    Run the DISM mount/unmount(that worked in the past on a previous server)
    Deleted/recreated the install.wim, boot.wim, capture.wim
    Removed the KB2919355 update
    Removed WDS and re-added it
    Deleted and re-created all the .wim files again

    NOTHING is working!  Is the only answer REALLY to configure a box with Server2008, just to create a working 8.1 capture image?!?  That just boggles the mind...

    My experience with this problem: Server 2012 R2 fully patched.
    1. Original Win7 Pro x86 boot image is working
    2. Created one capture and one discover image from boot img => error 0xc000000f on both
    3. Mount-unmount both images => fixed error 0xc000000f but then stuck on black screen with only mouse on the screen. Mouse moves but that's all, dead anyway.
    4. Delete-reimport-restart server => capture image is now working, but discover image still hangs on black screen.
    5. Tried again steps 2-4 for discover image => no joy

    Meanwhile WDS service started crashing on Windows startup. Message "Catastrophic failure" is logged in the Event Log. Manually still runs.

    It's clear that WDS on Server 2012 R2 is seriously broken!!!

    Now 3 years, 4 months and still not fixed!
    Microsoft MUST take better care for the people looking after their crap! I'm sick of it anyway...

    Worked great!! Thank you! The only other thing I had to do was remove my corrupted capture image and replace it with the fixed one in WDS.
