Bug: WMF 5 Production Preview on Windows Server 2012 breaks Sysprep
Installing the WMF Production Preview on a Windows Server 2012 machine causes sysprep to fail with the following messages:
2016-01-14 15:58:26, Error [0x0f00bf] SYSPRP CreateSysprepActionList: Invalid action node sysprepOrder found for component Microsoft-Windows-SoftwareInventoryLogging-ScheduledTasks

Comparing versions of Generalize.xml from before and after installing WMF 5 Production Preview shows that these stanzas are added:
--- H:\Projects\Windows Image Maint\GeneralizeBefore.xml
+++ H:\Projects\Windows Image Maint\GeneralizeAfter.xml

Apparently Sysprep on Windows Server 2012 doesn't know what "sysprepOrder" is.
Workaround: Delete the added stanzas, then sysprep runs to completion without errors.

We will make sure this doesn’t repro with WMF 5.1 release.

I should add, this is impacting both Prod Preview and released 5.0 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50395) versions for us.

We are running into this as well.
