Hi - I don't think it's necessary to create another client package from definition - That might have been a 2007 thing. The Configuration Manager Client Upgrade package is also pre-defined, and can be deployed to systems to upgrade them from say SP1 to R2, for example, and where applicable. As for the OSD task sequence indicating that it can't find the client package, have you tried to update the content on the distribution points? This might also be helpful, if you run into not being able to distribute the client package:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/11df0f63-d146-434d-91f3-c4e826fee92c/redistribute-configuration-manager-client-upgrade-package-xxx00003?forum=configmanagermigration -S

Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:47:44 +0000 Hi: So we’re getting errors in our OSD task sequences saying the task sequence can’t find the files needed for the Configuration Manager Client Package. We do have such a package available, it appears to have been created when SCCM was set up but I really can’t change any of the options for this package. In doing some web research I’m finding this is by design for some reason, and you’re supposed to create a new Configuration Manager client package from definition. So I guess two questions. First, what’s the point of the Configuration Manager Client Package in the first place if you can’t do anything with it, and if you’re supposed to create a new Configuration Manager Client Package from definition how is that done? I have definitions for Device Management Client Transfer and Configuration Manager Client Upgrade. Should I use the Configuration Manager Client Upgrade definition? Thanks a lot for any help, finding this very confusing.
