Good Afternoon All -
I'm really frustrated and need some help. For the past few months, I have deployed our company'sold Gold Image which I captured to a WIM. Finally, I was able to talk them into letting me build an OSD TS which was based off an OEM Win 7 WIM and steps thereafter to install the applications. I did a B&C to slipstream many of the common apps and updates into the OEM Wim, but that's beside the point.
This new TS is currently in a testing phase right now alongside the old method. Each are also set up to use MDT's UDI Wizard.
The Issue
I cannot get the OS to install onto C: no matter what workaround I try! It usually installs to D: or E: - seemingly depending on the state of the disk when the TS starts. Therefore, I decided to make sure that variable was constant. I wrote a couple of diskpart scripts, added them to my boot image, and before the OSD TS formats the disk now, diskpart cleans the disk. The good news is that it seemed to get more stable about wether to use D: or e:, but still no C:!!!
What I've Tried (In task sequences using OEM WIM or captured)
- On "Apply OS" step, changed it from using OSDisk variable to C: - nogo
- Set OSDisk variable to C: by adding new step before "Apply OS" - nogo
- Created variable OSDTargetDrive to C: - nogo
- Set OSDPreserveDriveLetter to True - nogo
- OSDPreserveDriveLetter to False - nogo
Note: The initial OSD TS from OEM referenced an installer in "Apply OS" step. After doing the B&C to slipstream stuff, I load the WIM and am presented with two images "1-1" and 2-2" Which to use?
Any Ideas on a surefire way to get this to work every time? Thanks!
