Error, imagex failed to mount the WIM. With Return code 577

Cause

NetBackup v10.0 and above, Bare Metal Restore (BMR) Boot server will automatically download Microsoft ADK version 10.0.14393.0 which has been qualified by Cohesity. 
Recently, Microsoft released a revision update for ADK version 10.0.14393.0 ----> 10.0.14393.8069, which contains an improperly signed wimmount.sys driver that leads to a failure during SRT creation.

Solution

Microsoft will be addressing the issue in the next release / update of ADK. However, until then, Cohesity Engineering team has released a patch / EEB (Emergency Engineering Binary) for the following versions of NetBackup BMR Boot server

• NetBackup version 11.0       - EEB ET 4204895
• NetBackup version 10.5.0.1 - EEB ET 4202381
• NetBackup version 10.4.0.1 - EEB ET 4204884
• NetBackup version 10.3.0.1 - EEB ET 4203344

Please contact Cohesity support to obtain the EEB specific to your version of NetBackup.

After installing the EEB, some customers may encounter another failure during SRT creation.

"failed to create virtual system recovery disk image error code :-8"

As a workaround fix, Microsoft has suggested changing the ImagePath registry value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WIMMount to system32\DRIVERS\wimmount.sys

Note:
The registry value change needs to be done only after installing the EEB and after getting error code -8.
This workaround is applicable till Microsoft releases an update with a fix for ADK v10.0.14393
