I have a custom vista image that i have put on a server.

I use the following command in winPE to attach the unattended install XML file

wpeinit /unattend:v:\unattend.xml

I use the following to install my custom image

imagex /check /verify /apply v:\sources\install.wim 1 c:

It seems to process the unattend file and the install image find until the UnattendJoin Stage, which looking at this error log, it fails at.

this unattend file is the same one i use for creating my custom image & the user account doing the domain join is GOD, (domain admin)

the error code is wierd too (0x80070425) as there is no information on MS web site or google.

Any Ideas?

Not sure why the domain join is failing, but the error maps to "ERROR_SERVICE_CANNOT_ACCEPT_CTRL".

Hi Dude,
Just observed something from the log. It looks like domain connectivity not initiated here yet the setup trying to stop services, then trying to install TCP/IP driver and other connectivity protocols after security templates. Can you please extract the System\services registry key from the image and delete any unnecessary third party service that is trying to start/stopped which may be problematic you think. BTW, you have already boot from WinPE all the necessary connectivity driver have been installed and configured. Why that unattended.xml configured to install these services again?
