I'm attempting to deploy Windows Server 2019 to a virtual machine and I keep getting this error message: error message

I suspect that the error is not actually at this stage, but I can't seem to track it down, and the SMSTS log is out of date.

Edit: Got the log, it looks like it's failing on trying to install the role outside of the OS, but in the task sequence, installing the role is in the post install group?

   This script should only run in the full OS.  ZTIOSRole   9/27/2019 1:01:29 PM    0 (0x0000)

  • You should monitor the build process then you`ll know at what stage it is failing. Thanks.

  • It goes by too fast to really get an idea where.

  • Make the error action to just hang/display the summary page instead of restart. We need those logs. Sep 26, 2019 at 1:29

    @ElliotLabsLLC Good idea, I'll try that out.

    Based upon the error, it looks as though the role is trying to be installed while the deployment is in the Windows PE phase. According to the error log, it should only have role deployment after the OS has been installed and booted from. The OS Role step is going to operate on the live (dism -online) system. If that fixes it, please shoot me a heads up and i'll write it as an answer. Oct 19, 2019 at 12:27

You do not have a reboot after installing your OS, Add a reboot computer step so that it boots from disk and you should be good to go.

When you do go to reboot the computer, ensure that the MDT files are copied to disk so that the system doesn't just boot into the local admin account and not start MDT.

No reboot found in task sequence
