SYSPRP Package installed for a user, but not provisioned for all users

Question

Thursday, March 16, 2017 7:59 PM

Hi,

I have a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro on a new VM which im using as a reference machine for imaging. After my installs and customizations, i tried SysPreping the machine using the OOBE and Generalize option, but im getting the following error:

2017-03-16 15:30:03, Error                 SYSPRP Package Facebook.Facebook_81.789.17803.0_x86__8xx8rvfyw5nnt was installed for a user, but not provisioned for all users. This package will not function properly in the sysprep image.
2017-03-16 15:30:03, Error                 SYSPRP Failed to remove apps for the current user: 0x80073cf2.

I followed KB Article 2769827. The article suggests locating the offending app, and remove it. In my case - as you can see from the above error - its complaining about "Facebook.Facebook_81.789.17803.0_x86__8xx8rvfyw5nnt". The only problem is, i dont have this app. If i try to remove it, it says "Package was not found" (see screenshot below). What else might be wrong?

Hi Joe,

Please confirm if your package full name is correct.

As the KB Article 2769827, run the following command to get the exact package name

Get-AppxPackage -AllUser | Format-List -Property PackageFullName,PackageUserInformation.

After that, run one of the following command to remove the package or provision package.

Run Remove-AppxPackage -Package <packagefullname>

Remove the provisioning by running the following cmdlet:

Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName <packagefullname>

Hi Karen,

My apologies, but i forgot to mention. I ran the **Get-AppxPackage **command, but i did not see anything "Facebook". I only saw a list of Microsoft applications.

I ended up creating a new source VM which SysPrep'd w/o a problem. I dont know what the issue was. I had originally thought that I had caused it by removing the user under which i installed all apps (as well as the default0 user), and ran Sysprep using the Built-In Administrator. However, i duplicated this scenario on the new VM and i did not get any errors during the Sysprep process.

If the VM has internet access, an application may have installed in the background. Why it doesn't show up with Get-AppxPackage is a puzzling.

Is the main account tied to any Microsoft Live accounts that the application could have been drawn in from?

Hello,

Hi

Open the PowerShell Command with Admin Rights. Excecute the follow command:

Get-AppxPackage|Remove-AppxPackage

At this point the system remove the Apps that cause the Problem. You receive also many Issuereports, but this in't a problem. After that you can capture whitout prolem yout Image.

This has been plaguing me ever since I started using MDT to deploy Windows 10 about a year ago.  Thank you!  This worked for me.  I had to run the command by logging into each user that I had set up prior to image capture.  After running the command I was able to sysprep and capture.  All that research I did and nothing I found mentioned such a simple command.

This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much -

Did you also get a lot of error codes while running this command?


Saturday, August 11, 2018 12:04 AM

Yes.  I got lots of error messages, but it worked regardless.   I'd been demoralized by this problem for more than a year now.  Running this Powershell command from each of the locally staged users (as an admin) fixed the issue completely for me.  THANK YOU.

Hi all

i tried this but it still says:

SYSPRP Package Microsoft.BingWeather_4.24.11294.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe was installed for a user, but not provisioned for all users. This package will not function properly in the sysprep image.

SYSPRP Failed to remove apps for the current user: 0x80073cf2.

but when i want to remove it with this:

Remove-AppxPackage -Package Microsoft.BingWeather_4.24.11294.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

and

Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName Microsoft.BingWeather_4.24.11294.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

it cant find it.. like it does not exist.. but the error message does ^^

is there any other solution?

thx in advance

Daniel

This might be silly but did you reset your computer after you ran the original removal command? Also post the error. I think I ran into something where it said it was not found OR it could not be removed and in that case had to use a different method to remove it so it's good to have the entire error message.

I can't read the second two logs as they are not in English but from what I keep seeing everyone is saying you can avoid this issue by running sysprep with no internet access on the VM. I would give that a try unless you are doing something like trying to capture the image to a SCCM server through a Task Sequence or something. It's kind of crazy that the help forums are flooded with this issue and MS gave one fix that works about 60% of the time and just left all others out to dry here. Let me know if trying to sysprep with no internet access works.

hi

yes i read that some time ago and had the network adapter disabled, but it did not help.

we have now created a snapshot to which we can always return when the problem occurs again.

a fixit from MS would be great ;)

thx anyway

hi all

little update:

if you disable the network adapter FROM THE BEGINNING and install windows updates wie WSUSOffline, no Metro Apps are being loaded in the background and Sysprep works ..most of the time.
had one "serious error blabla" but no more metro app provisioning errors ..so far

greetings

I am unable to run sysprep because of  the HolographicFirstRun fails to uninstall, I ran the Get-appx command and I found this...  

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AppxPackage -AllUser | Format-List -Property PackageFullName,PackageUserInformation

I have tried to remove the apppackage by itself, i have run the removal all command, I have even tried to add the package back but none seem to be able to find and/or fix it.  Since i am unable to add images i am just adding the text from powershell.

Run in the same problem, i was sysprep for a deployment image and the error was similar.

The resolution was to install OS from stick without network connection, made a user at install as windows wizard request but the first thing to do after, is to enable the administrator account, logoff and logon as administrator and delete the other user account and profile. Only after that you can connect to internet and install whatever you may want! And sysprep will run without errors this time! (just because it will be no packets installed under other user)

Consegui executar o Sysprep mantendo a minha VM de referência totalmente sem conexão com a rede. Assim deu certo!

I had a similar issue.  One minor difference was that I had to run

Remove-AppxPackage -Package <packagefullname> -Allusers

The package had been installed under a different users profile on the machine.

Found these posts after banging my head up against the wall all weekend.

My scenario. 

Deployed Vanilla image via MDT.  Had MDT create another User Account.

Did all my configurations using built-in Admin account for the reference image.

Tried to sysprep, no go. 

Couldn't figure it out either.  Same errors as posted.  Never occurred to me that an account that had never been used would be the issue.  Logged into other account, Windows initialized it for first time.  I ran Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage.  Fixed the issue.  

Thank you Gentlemen.  Sanity partially restored.

this fixes issues? but in my case it bring more issues. this breaks the Calculator app for my finance department it's a big no, no, not sure what else it breaks... isn't there a line to just provision the package to all users? in my case it's the BingNews..

Login as builtin Administrator

Press Windows logo+Pause Break keys, then click Advanced System Settings in the left pane.

Or by pressing Win+R to open Run dialog, type control sysdm.cpl in the field and click OK.

Step 2: In System Properties window, select Advanced tab, and click Settings under User Profiles.

Delete all profiles except local administrator.

Try Sysprep again
