Sysprep Validate (fails)

Sysprep Validate KB ID 0001934

Problem

Seen whilst running sysprep on a Windows machine.

Sysprep was not able to validate

System Preparation Tool 3.14

Sysprep was not able to validate your Windows installation. Review the log file at %windir%\system32\Sysprep\panther\setupact.log for details.  After resolving the issue use Sysprep to validate your installation again.

Solution: Sysprep Validate Fails

Well it’s telling us to review that file, the easiest way to do that is.

notepad %windir%\system32\Sysprep\panther\setupact.log

There’s our problem

Sysprep package not provsioned for all users

Error SYSPRP Package Microsoft.Copilot_1.25102.233.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe was installed for a user, but not provisioned for all users. This package will not function properly in the sysprep image.
Error SYSPRP Failed to remove apps for the current user: 0x80073cf2.
Error SYSPRP Exit code of RemoveAllApps thread was 0x3cf2.

This means Sysprep is failing because the Microsoft Copilot app is installed for a specific user but not provisioned system-wide. Sysprep requires all apps to be provisioned for all users or removed entirely.

Open an administrative PowerShell window, and run the following two commands.

Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.Copilot -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -eq "Microsoft.Copilot"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online

Then reboot and try running sysprep again.
