Having issues creating USB boot stick

I am using the ACU Wizard to create a bootable USB stick to enable AMT on an HP Prodesk 800 G4 (can't manually enable as it's using MEBx v12 and I cannot find documentation on that version). I select the required options but when it starts, I get an error about half way through that says:

 

"Keys copied to the USB drive with the following error(s):The file is not located in the correct position on the USB drive (the first file on the drive). Click Ignore to continue or click Retry to reattempt copying the keys to the drive."

 

I've tried ignoring the error and it finishes, however the stick does not boot in any machine. I've tried Configurator Download Package 12.0.0.129 (newest) and v11.2.0.35 (the only other one I can find) and both produce the same error each time. I have tried multiple USB sticks both 3.0 and 2.0 with no luck.

 

I am not sure how to create these boot sticks at this point.

I was just asking if you knew of any logs that got generated locally so you could see what was going on. I provided the specs of my laptop earlier - I can assure it is not a performance issue. These are the event viewer logs:

Hi, Thank you so much for the information provided. We will take a look into this, in order to verify the information. On the other hand, have you performed a clean installation of the OS recently? Regards, Emeth O. Intel Customer Support Technician. Under Contract to Intel Corporation.

No I have not re-imaged and that is not a feasible option for me.

I have found an alternative solution. You may mark this as complete if you like. I left it open in case you wanted me to try any other steps in your efforts to determine why they ACU Wizard doesn't work in Windows 10. Please feel free to let me know if you want me to try something else.

Hello JTies, After doublechecking with engineering there are no further steps suggested to try in your case. Just as a final note it looks like your equipment (or any of their components) are not vPro capable thus not allowing the USB provisioning method to work. We will proceed to mark this thread as resolved. If you have further issues or questions please go ahead and create a new topic. Jose A.

Ok, if that is the case then Intel should update their documentation and info videos accordingly. If you look at the screen shot from one of my earlier comments, it clearly states in that video that the system creating the USB does NOT have to be vPro enabled. That may be causing a lot of confusion for any others also having this issue.

Hello JTies, You are correct, the system where you create the USB key doesn't need to be AMT capable. If you want we can try to do a remote session just like with the other case so we can see the error message and the moment when it fails. What time and date will be better for you? Jose A.
