Tried it with/without OS on another drive - makes no difference.

Also tried it with no drives connected so the USB is the only bootable device - same error.

I've since tried a number of other...

Same result with new FAT32 key made as advised.

Were the BCD contents as pasted from EasyBCD okay? I can zip and send if there's anything else you'd be able to see.

Kyhi.

I just confirmed I get the same error on a second Dell 7050 with this key (Windows installation media boot fine, by the way).

Here's the contects of the BCDs:

There is one entry in the...

Hy Kyhi.

I can't claim to fully understand the link in Superfly's post, but since the key boots fine on other PCs (including two Dell XPS 13 laptops) can we assume the BCD hasn't been overwritten?...

Yeah, it works fine on all other devices - it's just the three 7050s that give me this error.

They're covered with 'Pro' support so I've asked Dell for some clarification. I'll let you know when...

32gb (sorry, tried to put the gb in caps, but kept changing when posted).

Great little rescue key, this one. Works a treat... except on my new Dell Optiplex 7050 MT desktops.

When I try to boot I get this blue screen:

There’s nothing wrong with the key –...

I have just deployed a customised Windows 10 Pro x64 1607 image with six user accounts pre done as part of the SysPrep.

I'd like to use this to reinstall on my sister's PC, too. She only needs...

That's a bit unfair, Kari. I checked everything I could see and tested it several times before posting and I then gave quite a detailed account of the problem and how I'd narrowed it down.

I've built a new VM using the latest 'Anniversary Update' ISO and the first boot (OOBE) after SysPrepping fails.

Hmm, maybe I should be more cautious, then, especially as you're saying I WILL have problems ...and I can live without the CopyProfile benefits because I don't foresee the need to add new users...

Thanks again for your input on this, SmileyPK, but "making the specific edits" isn't an option for me. It may well be a more surgical way to achieve the specific customisations, but I'm no surgeon...

Thanks again, Kari, for your continued involvement in this issue.

I can fully understand your need for multiple browsers and my IT consultant has, for some time, stressed the need to have more...

Thanks for your input on this, SmileyPK.

It's significant that you've found it's using the 'CopyProfile=true' element of SysPrep in the Answer file because without this, none of the changes made...

Thanks for your reply, Kari. I can appreciate that it's annoying when it's not an important issue for you and I realise I may have to consider abandoning customisation altogether, but before I do...

Further to my previous posts on this issue I've done some further tests.

Firstly, this is how the Office 365 Admin Preview page should look in IE11:

This may be true, but you're describing a problem with particular pages not working with IE and what I'm seeing is a problem that exists only straight after SysPrepping on a Hyper-V VM. Sure, the...

Hi Kari.

Any chance of a response to my post (#412) above?

Tolqua.

Actually, I did read that part, but it refers to items created during the SysPrep procedure itself and the only items I can see replicated in the Recent Items list are ones I recognise from activity...

Thanks for confirming that relocating Program Data folders is a BAD idea, Kari! ;)

I just completed a customised run on a new VM in Hyper-V and after running SysPrep I noticed that the Recent...

Hi Kari.

After much testing and head scratching I didn't really get to the bottom of the problem I was having using MS account logins on VMs deployed to physical machines, but since it doesn't...

The strange issue I've had with failure of MS account to sync settings appears to be related to Hyper-V machines only and nothing to do with the customisation/sysprepping procedure.

I just created...

Good to have you back, Kari. Thought you'd gone on holiday. :D

Please note I've actually answered some of my own questions (see my last post), but I have other interesting things to report/ask...
