Hello all:
I have WDS set up on my Server 2012 r2 Standard server. I was able to use WDS to capture an image on a Windows 8.1 Pro machine and it captured and deployed just fine. I then moved on to my next build which was a Windows 7 x86 machine. The capture worked just fine however during deployment, I get the error message: "Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation."
I have read many forum posts and how-tos on the subject suggesting the .wim or RES.rwm were corrupted, retook the image to fix the issue with the same result. I have read that the image group may be corrupted, backed up my images, deleted, and recreated the image group then imported my image again with the same result. I have tried multicasting and unicasting. I have tried this on multiple machines in case there were hardware level issues (i.e. bad ram, etc). I cannot get this image to deploy and I am truly frustrated over this.
Anyone have any guidance at all?
Thanks,
Ron
