Problem



When deploying a Windows 7 image that has been sysprepped the error, " cannot process unattend file '. is displayed


Error



When using an unattend file that contains two Wins addresses the message below is displayed: "Windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer. "


Environment



DS 7.1 DS 7.1 sp1 SMP 7.1 Client systems have two Wins addresses


Cause



The unattend file created by DS 7.1 labels the second Wins address with the same number - in this case the #1 - as the first. Because both entries are using the same label the unattend file can't be read


Solution



Workaround(s): Disable Wins or ensure that only Wins address is specified for each client system Resolution: This issue is resolved in DS 7.1 MR4 and ITMS_SP1 (due middle of second quarter 2011)
