SOLVED Error Staging Bootable WinPE (0x80070002)

[MattTheQuick]

Hey everyone,

I'm running SCCM 2403 (with the hotfix rollup). We've been notified that we're going to be getting new models in soon so I added some drivers to the x64 boot image today. Once that finished I went to make a bootable flash drive for our team to image PCs with and encountered this error.



Here is a quick list of things I tried. All of the attempts below yielded the same result in the CreateTSMedia.log above.

- changing the staging directory from C:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\temp to C:\temp
- tried to make a bootable flash drive both letting SCCM format the flash drive and doing it manually (nothing to do with the error above, but we've ran into that problem in the past)
- tried to make CD ISO instead of writing directly to flash drive
- tried the whole process on my workstation with both my regular account and my domain admin account (both logged into their respective profiles, I've had problems doing the "run as" in the past)
- tried the whole process to make a CD ISO on the SCCM server itself

Does anyone have any suggestions for things I might just be missing? My only other idea would be to upgrade all the way to 2503 and see if the issue persists. But I'd rather not rush an upgrade if I can help it.

I believe this issue is not related to version 2409, and upgrading is optional. However, I recommend upgrading to version 2503 if possible. Were you able to create the bootable flash drive before adding the drivers?

I hadn't tried for about a year. We don't change that boot image all that often as our PC models rarely change.

At this stage, it's hard to determine whether the new drivers caused the issue or if it existed before you modified the boot image.

Am I able to upgrade from 2403 directly to 2503 or should I step through 2409?

You can skip version 2409 and directly upgrade to 2503.

This can be closed. We upgraded from 2403 to 2503 and things seem to be working well now.

Interesting. Finally, an upgrade resolved the issue.
