Black screen after PXE boot and brief windows progress bar

Hello All,

I am relatively new to WDS in 2012 R2. I have worked with various PXE environments before, though.

I have configured a boot image in WDS and from there I have attached a specific driver (through trial and error) to boot a Dell Optiplex 9020 desktop and run through the installation process. No problems there. I have finished my gold image build and I am ready to capture the desktop after running sysprep.

I used the boot image to create a capture image and also applied the same NIC driver which has worked for the setup, to the capture image. When I select the capture option from the boot menu, a windows progress bar is displayed for a second and then the screen goes black and nothing else is displayed at all. The desktop continues to run.

I have overcome the 0xc00000f error by attaching the driver to the capture image and have also used dism to mount and commit the image file changes to switch it to read/write (as I understand it).

I am now at a loss as I am unable to capture the sysprep'd workstation. Can anyone offer any advice?

I have checked the event log and filtered it for all information related to Windows Deployment Services, but I need more detail from an actual session establishment to identify what could be going wrong. Where can I locate such logs?

Thanks in advance.
