SOLVED Windows PE initialization failed with error code 0x80220014

[Pedro Roeseler]

Hello.

I'm getting the error "Windows PE initialization failed with error code 0x80220014" while trying to install and capture a Windows 10 image.
I searched the Internet for similar threads but only found articles related with ADK 1511, which shouldn't apply to my case because I have the latest version installed. Properties on the adksetup.exe file indicates version 10.1.15063.0.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Yes that was an issue with ADK 1511. With the upgrade of ADK version the issue was fixed. I see you are using the latest version of ADK. Have you updated the boot images to distribution points ?.

Hi Prajwal.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply. Yes, I distributed the boot images to our distribution point.
I'm sending in attach some screenshots of the Task Sequence as well as of the status of the boot image.

Thanks once again for your support.

Just to add that I found out what was the root cause... It seems that in order to capture an image you need to have a volume licence wim file........... OEM does not work.
Hope it helps someone...
