Have you ever deployed a Sysprep image to have it fail half-way through? Sometimes it can be a pain to figure out why. These log files can help tremendously:

  1. C:\Windows\setupapi.log logs driver installations.
  2. C:\Windows\setupact.log logs install actions.
  3. C:\Windows\setuperr.log logs install errors.
  4. C:\Windows\Debug\netsetup.log logs domain joins.
