🚨🚨 IMPORTANT NOTICE🚨🚨

Problem

• Install Windows Management Framework 5.0 (Contains PowerShell 5.0)
  on Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 7.
• Run sysprep.
• Sysprep fails with:

Sysprep_Generalize_MiStreamProv: RegDeleteValue for target uri failed with error = 2[gle=0x00000002]
Sysprep_Generalize_MiStreamProv: RegDeleteValue for full payload time failed with error = 2[gle=0x00000002]

Solution

• Add the following key to registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\StreamProvider] “LastFullPayloadTime”=dword:00000000

• Try sysprep again it should work.
