I am mounting Windows 11 image. This image was captured on a Lenovo Laptop and was "generalized" with "Sysprep".

Answer 2

This error is caused by an invalid security descriptor in the directory of "Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\AMD\DxcCache" . This issue is fixed by either

Method 1: Use WinPE to Reset Attributes & Re-Capture

• Plugin an External HDD/SDD & Plugin a USB Flash Drive with Windows Media Installation (WinPE)
• Boot into winpe on a usb and then SHIFT+F10
• xcopy "<WindowsDrive>:Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\AMD\DxcCache" "<WindowsDrive>:Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\AMD\DxcCache2" /S /E /I /G /H /R /B /Y /F
• xcopy "<WindowsDrive>:Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\AMD\DxcCache" "<WindowsDrive>:Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\AMD\DxcCache2" /S /E /I /G /H /R /B /Y /F
• xcopy "<WindowsDrive>:Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\AMD\DxcCache2" "<WindowsDrive>:Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\AMD\DxcCache" /S /E /I /G /H /R /B /Y /F
• dism /capture-image /imagefile:"<ExteranalHDD/SSD>:\path\to\file.wim" /name:"NEW CAPTURE NAME" /capturedir:<WindowsDrive>:

Method 2: Use 7-ZIP

• Download and install 7-ZIP
• Right click on the WIM File --> 7-Zip --> Open Archive
• Extract the directory of "Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\AMD\DxcCache" to a safe location
• Delete the directory inside the WIM image "Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\AMD\DxcCache"
• Copy the Extracted directory back into the WIM image
• if for some reason the attributes are retained before extracting back into the WIM image please run xcopy "<extracted dir>" "<extracted dir2>" /S /E /I /G /H /R /B /Y /F & xcopy "<extracted dir2>" "<extracted dir>" /S /E /I /G /H /R /B /Y /F

Answer 3

Hi, @~OSD~

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

The error "Error: 1299 Indicates a particular Security ID may not be assigned as the label of an object" occurs when the DISM /Mount-Image command is unable to mount the image. This error is caused by a failure to restore the security descriptor of a file.

One possible workaround is to try running the command as an administrator. Another possible workaround is to try copying the WIM file to a local drive and then running the command. Additionally, it is recommended to ensure that the WIM file is not corrupted.
