Ive always just put the usb in and allowed the media creation to handle it.  It 
will break apart the wim into manageable smaller pieces...  that may be the 
part of the equation that is being problematic going from the iso to the usb

Subject: [MDT-OSD] OSD Stand Alone Media Thumb Drive

In SCCM 2012, I want to create OSD Stand Alone media with my company image on 
it.  My image is a Windows 7 SP1 x64 WIM, which is about 14gb in size.

I know that there are limitations in the Create Task Sequence Media wizard as 
far as ISO size, so I found an article on running the CreateMedia.exe command, 
with appropriate switches, to create one large ISO.  I did this using the 
command below:

CreateMedia.exe /K:"full" /P:"ConfigMgrProvider.company.com" /S:"STE" 
/C:"Username=adminuser,Domain=company.com,Password=password" 
/D:"distropoint.company.com" /L:"Configuration Manager 2012" /A:"TaskSeqID 
/Z:"false" /T:"CD" /M:"44482" /F:"ISO destination Path" /X:"OSDCOMPUTERNAME"

The ISO creates fine.  Using a 32gb thumb drive I make it bootable by:
Diskpart
Select disk 1
Clean
Create Partition Primary
Active
Format fs=ntfs quick

Then using virtual clonedrive, I mount the ISO and copy the contents to the 
thumb drive

The thumb boots fine, but when I get to the GUI portion, I get "Unable to Read 
Task Sequence Configuration Disk".  SMSTS.log contents below:

I've tried partitioning as NTFS, Fat 32, making the partition less than 16gb, 
using a different manufacturer thumb drive.  No love.

Has anyone successfully created removable media from a large ISO?  Thanks in 
advance for any advice offered.
