Windows 10 Sysprep Error



Almost all of the obvious bugs and errors are all related to Microsoft new environment and the APPs...
Recently, I was trying to prepare a VM Template but I was stuck at the Sysprep process with the following error.

Error              SYSPRP Package Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.1.0_1.0.22929.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe was installed for a user, but not provisioned for all users. This package will not function properly in the sysprep image.

After a couple of quick fix trials on my own, I couldn't figure it out. Turns out Microsoft has a beautiful article written on the subject...

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/2769827/sysprep-fails-after-you-remove-or-update-windows-store-apps-that-inclu

Long story short, let me save you a couple of minutes of reading... This is happening because of the app packages being installed on an active user and one of the sysprep procedures is to "clean up" appx-packages, because the apps are installed or in use, this process fails... Quick fix;

Login with the initial local user account on the computer, disable all other local user accounts and make sure that you removed the user profile from Windows as well... (Open system properties, Advanced Settings, Advanced tab,  click on "Settings" under "User Profiles", choose other local user accounts and remove them)

Run sysprep again!

System.Messaging.MessageQueueException (0x80004005): A workgroup installation computer does not support the operation (Public Queue create issue)

This is a weird issue that I don't fully understand why it would happen. But the symptoms are very persistent as we're able to reproduce these behavior easily. Issue: The MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing) fails to create Public Queues and throws  "the System.Messaging.MessageQueueException (0x80004005): A workgroup installation computer does not support the operation" exception.

warning: Win32API is deprecated after Ruby 1.9.1; use fiddle directly instead - Chef Development Kit Update

Today, I needed to do some tests with a newer version of the Chef Client and test my cookbooks. To version 14.12.9-1 to be precise. I also upgraded my ChefDK on my workstation to the 4.2.0 version. I believe that upgrades Ruby version as well and now I have ruby version 2.6.3p62 Right after the upgrade, I tried with a basic knife node list command to see if I needed to reboot or anything was broke... Everything seems to be working fine, except I get this annoying "warning" message. As it's just a warning, I don't really care about it as it just seems to annonce something that is deprecated... Problem; You receive "warning: Win32API is deprecated after Ruby 1.9.1; use fiddle directly instead" warning when using ruby or chef knife commands. Solution; You need to comment out that warning message in Ruby lib scripts.
