Screenshot from trace32:

Steps tried, but failed to fix it:

• Re-uploaded the entire WIM file
• Uploaded the WIM by splitting the WIM to smaller size and smaller parts
• At the failed phase tried to apply the WIM by using DISM/Imegex but the wim can be applied
• Able to Mount and unmount the same WIM by Using DISM
• Verified the WIM Hash file and matched exactly
• Finally no clue how to proceed further
• Tried to re-upload the WIM from FTP and created all new packages and tried
• Downloaded the failed WIM to other SCCM Test system and tried to deploy by creating a test system and found same error at same phase this confirmed the issue with WIM but not sure how to confirm.

Solution:-

We have recopied the Original WIM file by using ROBOCOPY and the issue was fixed. Thanks to ROBOCOPY
