Error code 0x80080204 while trying to sysprep

[Rodrigo Pizarro Admin]

Hi everydody,


We are stucking with this issue for several week and would appreciate any help you could bring.


We are preparing a windows 10 deployment image for our company computers and we are struggling when we are trying to sysprep them.


We have removed all the possible applications apart of the system applications (that we cannot remove). When we try to sysprep our customized image, we are receiving the following log:
