853634 - Win8 machines can get stuck on a prompt "Dirty Environment" saying that an install has not gone as expected

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Attachment: screenshot showing that the install went bad on win8

I have seen a machine with this message when I VNCed into it. It had not taken jobs for a while.
I have not yet determined how this can be easily noticed without VNCing.
If I understand correctly, the machine stops taking jobs until the prompt is dealt with. I don't know why this happens.

I will file the bug to keep track for it and keep an eye on it.

I'm very sorry I did not take note of the machine. I was trying to fix the tree with dozens of machines to deal with.

t-w864-ix-slave22 was found on this state.

I believe last time I just hit "OK" and let the machine take jobs.

Which seems to machine to the machine only taking one job and not anymore jobs after that:

[Q]

This looks to have had a bad install. Based on the registry and directory structure  it looks like it didn't download all of the WDS files during its first run. I re-imaged the machine and it came back up just fine
I have rebooted it several times and things seem okay. My initial hunch is that this machine was being imaged during one of the "WDS1 cpu events" but I will need to do more research to verify.

Would you like us to put the machine back into the production pool? or do you need it for debugging purposes?

I just saw the other comment on the other bug.
