I am using DISM to capture a Windows image. I have successfully captured an image from the reference computer after running sysprep and booting from Windows PE. This was done manually using the DISM /Capture-Image command with the verify argument.
It created an image which I want to deploy through WDS.
Before we even get there, I try to deploy the image manually to test that it works using the DISM /Deploy-Image command. If I do this then it fails with error 13.
The thing is that if I copy this image file to my laptop locally, I am able to mount it successfully to an empty directory and browse the files.
Can anyone help me get the image to apply?
I believe the issue was to do with the version of the ADK used to generate the Windows PE boot USB. I skipped 1809 and moved to 1903.
I encountered the same issue on 1903 when I was using a PE generated from a lower version. I downloaded the ADK and PE add-in for 1903, recreated my bootstick and it then worked. I would say that this is the same issue for 1809 as well, but I haven't tested it on that version.
