Symptoms

In Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2, you run the System Preparation tool (Sysprep.exe) to build a system image. Then, you try to deploy the system image on another computer. However, the image deployment process stops immediately after the first restart of the other computer. Additionally, you receive a dialog box that states the following:

Windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer.
This issue occurs if the original operating system contains a registry key that is larger than 8 kilobytes (KB).

Note This error might be caused by other factors. See the following article to determine whether it is more appropriate for your situation:
