Using FFU Imaging; after Optimize-FFU it no longer works
Hi, I installed a fresh copy of Windows Home v21H1. In audit mode, I ran installed all the Windows Updates and then ran System Prep with "System Cleanup Action > Enter System Audit mode" and shutdown the system. I then booted to WinPE and was able to successfully capture an FFU image to a network share. I was also able to successfully deploy this image to another machine with a larger SSD. However, anything with a small drive won't work so I ran the 'Optimize-FFU' command from the Deployment and Imaging Tools command prompt on my sever which hosts the network share and that process went through successfully. My understanding is that this modifies the image so that it will work on small drive sizes. My issue is that AFTER running this 'Optimize-FFU' the image will not deploy on ANY machines. When I try to deploy the 'optimized' image to the same machines the original image worked or any other machine on I get an error: 0x8000ffff ANY IDEAS? 2021-09-05 13:56:54, Info DISM PID=1488 TID=1464 Scratch directory set to 'X:\windows\TEMP\'. -
