Hello all,

I've recently run into an issue with our Win10 deployment.  I'll go into more 
detail below but in short windows update is, in the background, downloading and 
installing a driver for the nic during sysprep.  This installation fails 
causing the task sequence to eventually time out and fail.  I'm looking for a 
way, ideally through the unattend file, to disable automatic updates during 
sysprep.  I've setting the <ProtectYourPc> variable to 3, but it seems that 
option is not supported in windows 
10<https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn915741(v=vs.85).aspx>.

More Detail:
Initially discovered the issue looking through the event logs after imaging 
failed.

DeviceSetupManager:
Entry showing drivers being downloaded from windows update:
[cid:[email protected]]

Entry showing the driver install for the nic failed:
[cid:[email protected]]

System:
[cid:[email protected]]

While the nic is down it attempts to contact the MPs and fails.  This goes on 
for around 30 minutes until a reboot happens, the nic recovers, and processes 
our "on error" steps.
[cid:[email protected]]

I can see that it's not the sccm client as the logs from sccm aren't showing 
anything.

I've confirmed that the driver I'm installing in the driver package before the 
sysprep reboot is the current one from dell for win10 x64.

The strange thing about this issue is that sometimes the nic recovers after the 
failure and the TS proceeds like normal.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Phil
