  • Re-uploaded the entire WIM file
  • Uploaded the WIM by splitting the WIM to smaller size and smaller parts
  • At the failed phase tried to apply the WIM by using DISM/Imegex but the wim can be applied
  • Able to Mount and unmount the same WIM by Using DISM
  • Verified the WIM Hash file and matched exactly
  • Finally no clue how to proceed further
  • Tried to re-upload the WIM from FTP and created all new packages and tried
  • Downloaded the failed WIM to other SCCM Test system and tried to deploy by creating a test system and found same error at same phase this confirmed the issue with WIM but not sure how to confirm.

Solution:- We have recopied the Original WIM file by using ROBOCOPY and the issue was fixed. Thanks to ROBOCOPY
