When deploying image to the machine you receive the following error:
\nAn error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x80070032).
\n<\/strong>
\nThe task sequence start running fine. It creates the partition, formats it and fails straight away when it starts applying the image.<\/p>\n

Looking at the smsts.log file you can see the following:<\/p>\n

As you can see from the log partitioning part finishes successfuly and there are no clear indications why it fails. The error it self is very general and cam mean anything. In my case the solution was very simple. Apearantly the OS imge architecture did not matched the Boot image architecture. In other words I had 32bit OS but the boot image was 64bit.<\/p>\n

To check the OS image open Configuration Manager\u00a0Console
\n<\/strong>1. Go to System Center Configuration Manager>Site Database>Computer Management>Operating System Deployment>Operating System Images
\n<\/strong>2. Find the image you are trying to deploy
\n3. Right click on it and choose Properties
\n<\/strong>4. Select Images<\/strong> tab
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nHere you can see the architecture.<\/p>\n

Now you have to check if it\u00a0the Boot image architecture matches it in Tasksequence.
\n1. Go to System Center Configuration Manager>Site Database>Computer Management>Operating System Deployment>Task Sequences
\n<\/strong>2. Locate the Task Sequence
\n3. Right click on it and choose Properties
\n<\/strong>4. Select Advanced<\/strong> Tab
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nCheck if it is using the same Architecture as the image it self.<\/p>\n

As I wrote before they did not match and this was causing the problem. After changing the Boot image architecture to match OS image architecture the problem was gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
