D:\Sources\OS\ExtraFiles would copy it to X:\smsts.ini not X:\windows\smsts.ini?

I mounted my WINPE image and the files got placed in the root directory and not under Windows. So this would explain why it wasn’t working, but is there a way to specify the Windows directory in WINPE when you add extra files to a boot image?

The smsts.in<http://smsts.in> needs to be placed in the windows folder within the boot image. I did it using imagex.

I know there have been several posts on how to increase the SMSTS.log size during OSD but having an issue here. I am following a SCCM session from TechEd with Johan where he created a SMSTS.ini file and then said to add it to a MDT Boot image extra directory. Below is a summary from the MDT Boot Image build where I added the extra directory that contained the SMSTS.ini . This new MDT Boot image has been attached to the TS and these are bare metal builds. Is there a step I’m missing?
