Undeployable status when using scripted install of Windows after upgrade to K2000 v4

** I asked the question earlier this morning, saw a grammatical problem that I tried to edit and the site then mangled the question and removed most of the post. So I'm reasking it. I tried it once more and it did the same thing. Luckily I typed the question first in notepad so I could repost it again without retyping it.

Hello,

Prior to the K2000 upgrade to version 4, back in December I believe, I had a scripted install of Windows 10x64 Enterprise build 1511.2 (volume licensing ISO from Microsoft, unmodified) that I had made an answer file for which booted the system directly to Audit mode. The answer file is included here:

</unattend>

After Windows is applied to the machine, it's not coming up in Audit mode. In fact, the image status is reported as IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE. This doesn't give me a warm, fuzzy feeling when trying to use scripted installs to build a core WIM image.

I even tried to use a very basic answer file that had no mention of Audit mode, nor anything else, because it prompts for agreeing to the EULA and building the partitions just like if I ran the Windows install straight from the Microsoft ISO (which I also did separately and went to Audit mode just fine).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <settings pass="windowsPE">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS">
            <UseConfigurationSet>false</UseConfigurationSet>
            <ImageInstall>
                <OSImage>
                    <InstallToAvailablePartition>true</InstallToAvailablePartition>
                </OSImage>
            </ImageInstall>
        </component>
    </settings>
</unattend>

This results in the same IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE. Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions or insight into why the K2000 is changing the Windows it installs in such a way that no means of switching to Audit mode is successful (even done manually) would be appreciated.

Thank you.
