Can't make sense of MDT error. Pls help

Question

I'm aiming to setup up a Zero Touch Deployment for complete automatic deploy on many laptops.
Everything works fine and the install iperating system process finishes but after that i get this error and i don't understand the error.
I've tried fixes for the Failure 5616 those didn't help and also Legacy or UEFI network boot doesn't make a difference.

FAILURE(5616):15250: Verify BCDBootEX

Can anyone Tell me what the error means and how i can fix it?

Answer 1

I ran into this same error.
In my case the problem was the computer was booting in legacy BIOS mode and NOT into UEFI mode.
My Lite Touch (x64).wim and Task Sequence were both expecting everything to be UEFI.
Solution was to go into the computer's UEFI and switch off Legacy BIOS in the boot menu.

Hi, @Fabio Plunser
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

What ADK version are you using?
If you are using ADK 2004, you may need to patch the KB4564442:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-10-deployments-fail-with-microsoft-deployment-toolkit-on-computers-with-bios-type-firmware-70557b0b-6be3-81d2-556f-b313e29e2cb7

If you are using an older version of ADK, try the solution in below article:
