    ec f4 bb 65 e6 13-unregdeploy.txt TOEMS 1.4.8.0 using Windows Server 2019 for DHCP is unable to restore a RHEL7 image that contains an extended type partition.

    It appears that when TOEMS is creating the partitions on the target SSD that TOEMS is unable to create the partition type of extended (type 5). In this case according to the Unregistered Imaging Logs TOEMS is unable to parse the partition type which is indicated on line 286 of the included unregdeplly.txt log file.

    I also included a capture of the source file system layout using fdisk and lsblk for your convenience.

    It's difficult to say exactly why the partition isn't being created correctly. You would need to step through the partition process manually to see which step is failing. You could boot to debug mode and run these commands from your log. Every place you see an empty line, press enter, this will replicate the automated partition process to try and find out which step is failing and why.
