[RESOLVED] Unable to deploy Windows 11

[Laurent-Tecelys]

Hello,
We just upgraded to version 2.6.0.17177 and I seem to be experiencing problems with WADS since this update. We had no deployment issues with the previous version. When we try to deploy Windows 11 (23h2 or 24h2) right after running `wgetwadsx64.exe --config=x:\dlls\wapt-get.ini`, and after the `Datetime after` check, a Windows 11 configuration window opens with the message: "This PC does not currently meet the system requirements for Windows 11."
The hardware hasn't changed, and these are PCs with a pre-installed Windows 11 license. We're seeing this issue on different hardware and with all versions of Windows 11. If I deploy a Windows 10 version, there are no problems.
The Windows 11 deployment worked correctly last week.
Am I the only one experiencing this?

Hello Laurent,

There has been a regression at this level. We have a nightly build currently being validated for release [1]. We have updated the changelog with the caveat online regarding this [2]. The changelog for the upcoming version (today I hope, or tomorrow) is below ):

Code: Select all

WAPT-2.6.0.17198 (2025-04-09)
=============================

hash: 7c59ba7e

This is a bugfixes releases. The main highlights are fixes for the two regressions on WADS deployement in the last release.


* [FIX] wads: wapttftpserver: update mormot2 for regression on wapttftpserver on Linux

* [FIX] wads: properly add SecureStartup and EnhancedStorage packages during WinPE build. 
  Note: the buildup of WinPE now needs admin right elevation. 

* [IMP] wads: Also add WMI packages to WinPE 

* [FIX] waptwua: fix automatic download tasks fail if download_urls field in db is None. 
  This issue can only happen after a cleanup during remediation of spurious streaming urls

* [FIX] waptconsole: allow acls package filtering of unit and profile packages

* [NEW] waptconsole: add html audit data templates examples in
  :file:`<pf86>\wapt\templates` for many tis-audit-xxxx packages available on TIS public Repository

* [IMP] waptagent: wapt-get server-request <action> --method="POST" --data="['string1', 'string2']" : transform into ["string1", "string2"] 
  
  * workaround for poor windows cmd line parsing
  
  * JsonQuoteToDoubleQuotes

* [NEW] waptagent: wapt-get server-wget <wapt-server-relative-url> with optional param --filename=<path-to-local-file> or -O <path-to-local-file>
 
* [NEW] waptagent: wapt-get wget <url>  with optional arguments  --http_proxy=<proxy> --verify_cert=[0/1/path]

* [NEW] waptagent: wapt-get option --hash=<hash hexa> : if not provide explicitly, try to get hash from url resource filename (https://host/resource_<hash>.ext). md5, sha1 or sh256 type of hash is identified with the length of hash hexa string)

* [IMP] waptagent: wapt-get server requests: set wapt-server-user to current user if param is empty and --not-interactive option. 
  Allow kerberos authenticated requests without user input

* [FIX] waptagent: fix unable to import p12 file on win7 if using new encryption mechanism
  Wapt-get create-keycert p12 : use legacy encryption for windows 7 import : NID_pbe_WithSHA1And3_Key_TripleDES_CBC / EVP_sha1
  
* [FIX] waptagent: service events: max_count arg was renamed to max_events_count
  
* [IMP] waptagent: wapt-get: don't start polling thread if waitevents timeout is <=0

* [IMP] waptagent: wapt-get -u -S install <package> : handle --update or -u option like python code -> insert a update task before other action.

* [NEW] waptcore: wapt-get waptconsole templates: add helpers Items and IIf

  * {{ items dict }} -> return [ {"key":key1, "value":value1}, {"key":key2, "value":value2}, ... ]

  * {{ iff value_bool,"value_if_true","value_if_false" }} -> return value  (non empty list, non empty dict, non empty string are evaluated as True)

  * add mustache helpers: UnCamelCase and UnSnakecase.

You can call support to perform the upgrade and verify that it is working correctly.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Sincerely,

Denis

There was indeed a regression with WADS in version 2.6.0.17177. The next nightly build (WAPT-2.6.0.17198) fixes this issue by correctly adding the SecureStartup and EnhancedStorage packages to WinPE and correcting other deployment-related bugs. You can contact support to upgrade and verify that everything is working.

Hello and thank you. I performed the upgrade as instructed and it fixed the problems I was experiencing with WADS. Thank you.
