This problem appears to be caused by doing the "DISM.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase" when I create the server image. It works fine if I don't do that. I guess my server images are going to be 1.2GB bigger.

The only difference is I do the server deployments using offline media since the network configuration is so much more complicated depending on teaming, physical or VM, iSCSI, etc. I recently decided to start looking at moving to a different interface level since Server 2012 R2 supports adding and removing interface components as necessary. For some reason I can't move to interface level 2 - in other words I can't remove Server Graphical Shell and run only with Graphical Management Tools and Infrastructure. I can go from interface level 3 to 1 (core), but I still can't go from level 1 to 2 once I do that. Basically it always gives me an error saying "The request is not supported. Error: 0x80070032". This is only a problem if I build a custom image in MDT and deploy it. I found that if I deploy a vanilla image using MDT from a "Full set of source files" then it works fine. So what doesn't it like about my image? The only thing I do for my server image is Windows updates, and then a "DISM.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase", install Ultra VNC, and install Adobe Reader. Nothing else is in the image. I've tried doing it before joining the domain and I've even if I uninstall the apps in the image it still won't work. Anyone ever run in to this? Also, this was a problem for me before and after upgrading to MDT 2013 update 1. -Brian
