Building a SRSv2 / Rigel SP4 issue
Windows Image was
en-gb_windows_10_enterprise_version_1703_updated_march_2017_x64_dvd_10194889. Must be a Surface Driver issue someone I reckon.
Want to image it properly so you can't just swipe and access the rest of Windows.
Hi Graham,
I have succefully install SRS V2 using this https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsNPzADGd5-TiME_WDe2ZLJnNZO8ZQ.
Obtain a copy of the 64-bit version of Windows 10 Enterprise Anniversary edition version 1607 (English language).
Using rufus tool, create an bootable USB with windows 10 iso image https://rufus.akeo.ie/
Select windows 10 iso image using disk icon, then Select FAT32 in file system and
click Start.
Navigate to the directory folder you selected as the destination folder for the SRSDeploymentKit-2.0.2.0.msi installer package.
Select all files in the directory and copy them to the root USB device: directory.
Download the latest Surface Pro 4 drivers. Be sure to get the ZIP file, not the MSI or Wintab files.
Open the driver ZIP file and copy the folder SurfacePro4_Win10_* to the directory "USB :\AutoUnattend_Files\DistShare\Out-of-Box Drivers” on the USB disk.
In the root of your USB drive, there is a file named AutoUnattend.xml : Open it with notepad++ editor. There are two commands referring to Sysprep.exe, they are next to each other in the file.
Line 232 you need to select your sysprep deployment : (Select only ONE Path section below for use.)
I have chose to create a single unit to go live (default) --> (Line 236/237)
<Path>%SystemRoot%\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /reboot /unattend:%SystemDrive%\Rigel\x64\Scripts\Provisioning\audit.xml</Path>
or copy my https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsNPzADGd5-TiME_WDe2ZLJnNZO8ZQ
Hope that help

Hi Benoit,
I'm having the same issue as Graham so I followed your procedure and used your autounattend.xml file and i get the error:
Windows cannot read the <ProductKey> setting from the unattend answer file.
My ISO is Win10_1607_English_x64
If I uncomment in the XML the product key section and remove the serial number, I get further in the installation process but then I get the same error as Graham:
windows could not apply unattend settings during pass offlineservicing
Do you have any idea what I could do wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
Hi Maxime,
You need to use this file as is https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsNPzADGd5-TiME_WDe2ZLJnNZO8ZQ with the https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt790558#Prep_Image
After, it's possible to enter your product key if you have the correct one.
Just to let you know that an SRS bundle already exist with Logitech distributor.
Example in France with Tech Data (Maverick), you can order a pre-configured version with the reference 4232858.
Under reference 4232858: Surface Pro 4 will have a pre-installed SRS software (Windows IOT Enterprise & SRS) +SmartDock
On receipt of the Skype Room System package, you must insert the SP4 on the Logitech Smartdock.
Once done just connect to the internet and enter your Skype4B ID to use it.So we don’t need to follow the TechNet with this ref (forget DIY with obtain a copy of the 64-bit version of Windows 10 Enterprise Anniversary edition and product key) :)

Benoit
Hi Guys,
It looks like my issue was the ISO. Just tried with an enterprise ISO and everything installed correctly. Thanks for the help!
- This doesn't look like an Windows Enterprise ISO, can you verify that you don't use Windows Pro?
I removed the /generalize from the sysprep line but didn't help.
Looks like I don't have an Enterprise iso but I absolutely can't find it anywhere. Only thing I can find is an evaluation for build 1703... I will try that
- if you want to create a single unit remove the generalize from the autounattended XML file:
I have chose to create a single unit to go live (default) --> (Line 236/237)
<Path>%SystemRoot%\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.exe /oobe /reboot /unattend:%SystemDrive%\Rigel\x64\Scripts\Provisioning\audit.xml</Path>
Thanks Benoit
Very odd, tried your file, downloading the drivers again (and trying both versions) and still fails with the same error). Back to normal Windows install and putting the app on top. Not idea.
Hi Graham,
Obtain a copy of the 64-bit version of Windows 10 Enterprise Anniversary edition version 1607...
And this process will works like a charm :)It's a sysprep issues ...
- Just imaging the SP4 now with 1607. Fingers crossed this will work this time,
Hello Graham
We have seen many issue with 1703.
We had to back many SRS from our client from 1703 to 1607.
Can you try with Windows 1607?
What issues did you face with 1703 ?
I've seen an odd story where external monitors stopped working and getting the following message on the SP4 "The room display is unplugged. Plug it back in for the best experience"
Anyone seen that?
