NOTE: While this method is clearly not ideal, it does work and works well. I just wanted to share this in case anyone is at the point of pulling out their hair or looking for another solution with Symantec or something else.

So like everyone else I was getting the Black Screen of doom. We have more of a customized setup as I am running Hyper-V on a (2) node 2012R2 Cluster. From the cluster I stood up a virtual 2012R2 WDS Server in Stand alone mode running DHCP locally as we are not allowed to join this server to the Domain, or AD and is also running in a private VLAN. The goal was to use WDS to image computers with a Dell OEM version of Windows 7 SP1 x86 including updates and custom apps. As it stands OEM is not supported by WDS so we did use a Windows 7 x86 Volume License copy to create the capture and boot images.

No matter with our with out the KB2919355 or using dism from the server or dism from the AIK tools to unpack/repack the capture.wim, nothing worked. The best I got was a mouse cursor and the black screen. I also tried to capture just the Windows 7 VL, and or Dell OEM with no dice no matter which way I tried. I also rebuilt the server a total of three times as well trying different methods with no updates, all updates except KB2919355, or all updates period. As a work around I went forth and made a custom WindowPE disk to create the image and push it to the server. Below are the steps I took.

NOTE: If you need to create a USB thumb drive from an ISO I was able to use ISO to USB, make sure to check mark the Make Bootable option and you should be good to go.

Add Device Drivers on an Offline Windows PE Image

NOTE: Make sure to read the comments at the bottom as you need to copy the file winpe.wim to boot.wim before you create the ISO or no drivers will be in your WindownPE

Once you have PE usb/cd created you would still do the normal sysprep/ generilze obo /shutdown on the computer you want to create the image from. Once shutdown you then want to boot off the windowsPE disk and then follow the remaining steps to capture the image and place it on the WDS server
