Image sysprep not completing

[p.chatzima...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

Using the very basic sysprep command, as given in Packer documentation. I can create images from all Windows Server SKUs, but 2016 Datacenter.

It gets stuck in the below:

azure-arm: Provisioning with powershell script: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\packer-powershell-provisioner<number>
    azure-arm: IMAGE_STATE_COMPLETE
    azure-arm: IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE
    azure-arm: IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE
    azure-arm: IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE
    azure-arm: IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE
    azure-arm: IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE
    azure-arm: IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE

And it never completes.

Anyone ever had a similar issue?

Thanks,

Panos

So like you said, it was an MSFT issue.

rgagent, windowsAzureTelemetryService, WindowsAzureGuestAgent need to be disabled in the temp VM and the following keys need to be removed from the registry.

"Set-Service RdAgent -StartupType Disabled",

"Set-Service WindowsAzureTelemetryService -StartupType Disabled",

"Set-Service WindowsAzureGuestAgent -StartupType Disabled",

"remove-itemproperty -Path 'HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Setup\\SysPrepExternal\\Generalize' -Name '*'"

reboot and after that sysprep works fine.
