What state is the drive left in after its done? Can you browse the partition? Any log files copied successfully? -Daniel Ratliff -----Original Message----- From: Mark Mears [[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 07:41 PM Eastern Standard Time To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] Apply Operating System TS Step Yes. I’m setting it before the Partition task. I’m ensuring the OSDISK variable is set to C: in the step immediately preceding the ApplyOS Step. As soon as this step begins it bails with an error.

It starts in PE, and partitions/formats the C: drive. Every way I have tried but I cannot get the OS to lay down on the drive. The SMSTS.log indicates that “the /target parameter specifies an invalid target location”. I think I have tried all possible combinations with the same result. How can I get this step to succeed?
