System Hangs at "Getting Ready" after pushing image to machine on first boot FIX
I've ran across an issue with Dell Image Assist that after deploying the image to workstations it hangs at "Getting Ready" for a very long period of time between 30min-2hrs on the first boot.
The fix for me was to set the Windows service dmwappushservice to auto before capturing the image.
Before capture you can do either
- CMD: sc config dmwappushservice start=delayed-auto
- Powershell: set-service dmwappushservice -StartupType Automatic
If your stuck at the "Getting Ready" screen and want to verify this is the issue you can
- SHIFT+F10 to open CMD
- Enter: sc config dmwappushservice start=delayed-auto into the command prompt
If it boots that was the issue.
Apparently other causes of this issue are related to Domain Join, either Bad Credentials and/or no network connection.
Certainly ping me if you have any questions.

If you run into this issue and you already went through the process of creating the image. And you have all machines with said image and you get a few with it stuck on "Getting ready". We had a few so far.We would let it run until the next day and nothing.
The solution is if you have application that gets installed at first boot up. We have Zscaler. Chances its in the background preventing it from moving forward. Fn + Shift + F10 to bring up a command prompt so you can Alt tab. Worked like a charm. Why it does this to some machines and not others is beyond me.
