PRB: Sometimes deployed systems won't start IIS

I have a strange issue. I have a resealad image that I am deploying to
flash-based systems with EWF.

They usually deploy perfectly. But sometimes when I deploy an image, it
deploys... oddly. A few things are seen:

* IIS fails to start. It returns 0x80090006 (Invalid Signature).
* Two command prompts appear instead of one when you log in (I'm using
command shell).
* It desploys quickly (the unseal boot is very fast).

Now, these systems work perfectly most of the time, it is only some
deployments that do this. Has anyone seen this before?
 
What XPe build you are using? (SP1, SP2, FP2007?)

Have you seen lots of IIS related comments in Release Notes of the product?

Not sure about the two CMD windows but do you clean HKLM\System\MountedDevices key before you capture the golden image?
Also, what switches of fbreseal and advanced settings of the System Cloning Tool component do you have set up in the image config?

I couldn't quite get what the problem you indicated by the following statement:
 
Thank you for your reply!

I will have a good look at that, thank you.

Not explicitly, although I looked at the golden images and they don't have
this key. It is possible that fbreseal is removing it for me.

I am running fbreseal without switches. I can't find any advanced settings
for the Cloning tool, I'm not sure that the SP1 version has any options.

No problem here, it's just odd. I suspect that it is skipping over something.

Thank you

I wonder if you happened to have this QFE instaleld and used in the image?

Should be fine as long as you don't have too many security objects set up on the golden image (e.g., many user accounts, many custom
NTFS security settings for various files, dirs, etc.)
 
Thank you, I will give that QFE a try. I see it adds extra options to the
cloning tool, as you mentioned.
