Capturing from vm on ESXi 6.5 host using pxe boot and capture. see logs https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhwoICTP_02ug-4TJbBesh7u6f8z_g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff Harris 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2017 Can you try the warm capture method outlined on page 76 of the User Guide and see if that helps? I'd want to rule out the boot wim being used in your WDS/PXE setup. https://www.smartdeploy.com/wp-content/uploads/SmartDeployUsersGuide_V2.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tim.cummings@juhsd.net 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 You know what it started doing the error again. I had to make a change in the image and tried to take the image all over again using the iso to put in the vm, and gets all the way to the end before i get the error. logs: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhwoICTP_02ug-4oQrAIKNYyEhgxIQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tim.cummings@juhsd.net 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 When I took the image, I selected for use with WDS and only selected the OS partition, that seems to have worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaz2600 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2018 I get the error using the ISO and with WDS selected. Capturing a 2nd time without changing anything works. I've had this happen twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaykeblakk 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2018 I've had this happen a few times. My solution is to try the cold capture method twice, let it error out both times, and then attempt the warm capture method. It has always fixed the issue for me after that.
