CAUSE
These behaviors occur because the -pnp parameter was used when the Sysprep utility was run on the master computer.

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
To resolve these behaviors, do not use the -pnp parameter when you run the Sysprep utility on the master computer. If you have to add drivers that were supplied by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to the Windows Sysprep Setup, configure the OemPnPDriversPath= line in the Sysprep.inf file.
