RIS to WIM (WDS) image conversion failure

[Guest szilagyic]

Hello:

 

Recently we installed SP2 on our Win 2003 Server. We primarily use

the server for doing RIS images, so now that SP2 installed WDS we are

trying to get our images converted to Native format (WIM files).

However, we can only get one RIS image converted. When we try to

convert the second image, we get the error "An error occurred trying

to Convert RIPrep Image. 0x80360051" at the very end of the conversion

progress bar. The log file shows:

 

[1716] 10:51:14: PerformingImageOperation called.

[1716] 10:51:14: Total Progress is 0x41

[3684] 10:53:20: -> SetDialogFont

[3684] 10:53:20: <- SetDialogFont=0

 

We get the same result if we try to convert the image in the MMC or

with the "wdsutil" command. We've tried about 5 different RIS images

and the same error comes up at the very end.

 

I've seen posts all over on this issue, but so far no solution has

been posted. Has anybody been able to successfully convert multiple

RIS images to WDS (WIM files), without having to do each one on a

physical box?

 

Thanks in advance!
