I tried stopping every process and service that did not lead to a blue
screen, or to a system failure, and then Sysprepping, the error still occurs
though. As for unnecesary hardware, everything is onboard on the machine, so
that should not be an issue.
I do have UAC turned off, though I am not sure that should make a
difference. I am trying to sysprep a base Enterprise/Ultimate (tried
both)install with only WinZip and Acrobat Reader Installed.
It works without the /generalize switch. In order to use the Enterprise
version and KMS I need to use the /generalize switch right? Because if I
don't actually need to use that switch than I won't worry about it.
