The error appeared after devices installation and in the phase where "Setup is applying system settings".
Here is a screen-shot of this error:
I opened a cmd prompt by pressing Shift + F10 and checked the "C:\Minint\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS\BDD.log" to see.
The "Property PHASE is now = STATERESTORE" entry gave us an indicator as to where in the TaskSequence the error occurred. Yet no specific steps where throwing the error as there was no entry in the BDD.log from ZTIGather.wsf (which is the script called by Gather local only).
Digging a bit further I took a look at the "C:\Windows\Panther\setuperr.log" and found this error.:
"[0x030153] CMI Callback_CMI_ConfigInstall: CBS startup processing re-run failed."
From the cmd prompt I was also able to run mmc.exe to check the device manager and my Intel Management Engine Interface controller was showing a yellow ! with an error 37.
A quick google search for "setuperr [0x030153] Intel Management Engine Interface" took me to this page from the Dell Community Wiki where the reason for this problem is explained as quoted below:
" Reasons for failure:
- Windows 7 Operating system comes with KMDF 1.9 (Kernel Mode driver framework) as part of image. Any driver release which is built with newer version of KMDF requires reboot of system during the installation, this reboot is unexpected during OS Setup.
- If the Win7 image used contains any security update or patch affecting the KMDF components is used along with driver (which is built on newer version of KMDF) then deployment would fail. Example:KB2808735"
I tested the solution given in the article by mounting my image Wim with DISM, adding the package kmdf-1.11-Win-6.1-x64.msu to the mounted image and committing the change.
On the next deployment both the E7240 and E6440 deployed correctly.
I hope you find this entry useful. Until next time !!
