I have Task Sequences setup for Windows 7 x86 and x64. During the Task Sequence, I have it applying Windows updates as a step and is successful.
The Windows updates step was taking quite a bit of time so I decided to add the updates directly to the image using the following instructions: http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/04/sccm-2012-sp1-step-by-step-guide-part_5.html Applying the updates took awhile but the Scheduled Updates Status was successful.
Now when trying to image the PC, I get the following error: Task Sequence: xxxxx has failed with the error code (0x80070032).
I've done some research and it seems like it could be a disk partition issue. I've removed and re-created all partitions and still get the error. Also, when I use a previous image that did not contain the updates and the process works without error. I do not believe this to be a partition issue.
I am running SCCM 2012 SP1 but not on the latest cumulative update. Any ideas why adding the updates directly to an image would cause this error? If i run the updates as a seperate step, it works fine.
