There isn't an error per se. The installation will complete if the user provides answers to the questions displayed.

Environment

DS 8.x

Cause

The unattend.xml files used to install Windows 10 build 1703 are missing values needed to complete the installation without intervention.

Resolution

This issue will be resolved in 8.1 RU5

Workaround

If using the default unattend.xml files provided with DS 8.x please perform the following steps:

1) Browse to '<drive>:\Program Files\Altiris\Notification Server\NSCap\bin\Win32\X86\Deployment\SOI\AnswerFile'
2) Open 'Unattend_Default_Wind7.xml' and 'Unattend_Inventory_Wind7.xml'
3) Add '<SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE>' to the top of the <OOBE> section.

E.g

 <OOBE>
                <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE>
                <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>
                <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE>
                <NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation>
                <ProtectYourPC>1</ProtectYourPC>
            </OOBE>

If using a custom unattend.xml file, perform the same actions on the approriate file.
