"The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in"

[ambra]

I experienced the same error with multiple ISO images. As it turned out, the problem was probably caused when ISO image is on some read only location. In my case it was read only network share. After I copied the ISO image to Desktop and repeated the procedure, everything went well.

In first case (when experiencing this problem), Windows Setup just couldn't enter last phase (setting up local account) and it ended with no accounts at all. In the second case, Windows Setup properly went through all phases and I ended up with working system.

Regards!
