    I'm able to get a blank virtual machine connected to our PxE Boot environment, and have a Task Sequence available for a VM build.

    However, after starting the task sequence, it fails, and presents these errors in smsts.log:
    • Failed to save environment to (80070057)
    • failed to save the current environment block. This is usually caused by a problem with the program. Please...
    • Failed to persist executions state. Error 0x(80070057)
    • Failed to save executions state and environment to local hard disk.
    I believe this is due to lack of drivers that would let the PxE Host decide where and how to save to the VM hard drive.
    I have also located all drivers included with Parallels Tools on an existing Guest OS at c:/Program Files (x86)/Parallels/Parallels Tools/Drivers. However, there are a lot of drivers.
    If I could figure out which ones were needed in reference to the above errors, I could prob have them added to the task sequence, and from there the task sequence may work.
    Any advice on which drivers to add to WinPE Task Sequence would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Parallels doesn't use any specific disk drivers. Windows distro contains all required drivers.
    For example for default configuration this is msahci/ahistor driver for SATA controller.
