問題描述在進行Windows系統封裝時，因爲 sysprep的剩餘次數超過操做系統限制而引起報錯。

告警信息

系統封裝失敗。

處理過程

MSDN官方的說明中能夠看出在作Sysprep的過程當中3次的重置限制是能夠跳過的，在超出3次後sysprep過程當中會跳出系統發生嚴重錯誤的對話框，致使sysprep的過程終止。

解決方法以下：

運行regedit進入註冊表編輯器更改如下兩項鍵值：

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\SkipRearm鍵值更改成1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus\右方的 GeneralizationState鍵值更改成7

而後再進行Sysprep便可。

根因

Windows  7/2008/2012操做系統重置激活開始時間的次數最多支持執行3-5次，使用模製做板優化工具製做完整複製模板時會對模板虛擬機執行sysprep，而執行sysprep過程當中默認會重置激活開始時間，若是執行sysprep時系統剩餘的可重置次數超過系統的限制次數，則模板製做就會失敗。

建議與總結

請各位在封裝windows鏡像時, 在操做系統進行Sysprep前最好運行slmgr /dlv 查看該系統還能進行sysprep的剩餘次數以避免操做系統超出sysprep的次數而引起報錯致使作無功。

在cmd命令窗口中執行以下命令，請看下圖：

It can happen, the need of re-syspreping an already syspreped machine, why ? maybe you lost your Image master. so.. you running the setup process, adding the changes you want, relocating the XML answerfile, running the sysprep with /generalize switch.. the process is running for few seconds and then the sysprep window is disappeared. well.. open the sysprep log file under \sysprep\Panther … there you will find setup error log, if the logfile contains this line :

Date Time, Error [0x0f0073] SYSPRP RunExternalDlls:Not running DLLs; either the machine is in an invalid state or we couldn’t update the recorded state, dwRet = 31

then Microsoft say… 「Hey dude, bummer…, re-create the whole image「.

well… it’s not so true… this error indicates that you syspreped the machine more then 3 times, you cant do that… if the windows system was already activated by pre OEM activation you cant even re-arm the machine.. so you have 2 problems, one – can’t sysprep anymore and probably you can’t re-arm your machine (it wont let you sysprep if you cant re-arm..).

so, first check if you can re-arm by runing the slmgr.vbs /dlv and check the re-arm counter, if it set to zero.. you need to do the following : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929828 (set the <SkipRearm>1</SkipRearm> like in the example, note: this option will make the product key window to appear in the setup process).

you can also try running : slmgr.vbs –rearm, to rearm Windows.

after that, let’s come back to the sysprep process.. for syspreping already syspreped machine we have to change few keys in the registry :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus\GeneralizationState\

CleanupState:2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus\GeneralizationState\

GeneralizationState:7

After done with the registry, do the following :

1. Start -> Run : msdtc -uninstall (wait few seconds)

2. Start -> Run : msdtc -install (wait few seconds)

3. Restart the machine

4. Check the registry for the right registry keys values

5. sysprep with the new XML answerfile.

6. and.. Walla !

7. Have fun.
