P@docIT Posted January 30, 2015 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 Greetings All, I am having a bit of trouble creating a TS that creates two partitions. If I only have one it works perfectly as soon as I try and add the second the TS fails. I can see what is causing the failure but i don't know why. Let me know if any other info is needed. Desired Outcome: Windows 7 with two partitons C: and D: (system and data respectively) <-- This part does actually occur. But I end up with a partially imaged machine. Partition TS Step: The Cause: The _SMSTaskSequence folder gets placed on D: then after the step below occurs it starts looking for the TS files to be on E: which doesn't exist. (Full log attached) Cheers, Mike smsts.log Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted January 30, 2015 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 so 50%+100%=150% of your disk, could be your problem ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P@docIT Posted January 30, 2015 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 Hmm. I guess i misunderstood how that works. My understanding. I have a 100GB Hard Drive Partition 1 - 50% of remaining space (100GB) = 50GB Partition 2 - 100% of the remaining space left on the drive (50GB) = 50GB Totaling 100GB of space used. No?

Peter van der Woude Posted January 30, 2015 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 I would like to agree with Niall. Also, I always prefer to give my operating system drive a fixed size and leave the rest for any data partition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P@docIT Posted January 30, 2015 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 I would like to agree with Niall. Also, I always prefer to give my operating system drive a fixed size and leave the rest for any data partition. So the thought is that sccm is trying to create e: on the extra 50% of the 150%? The partitions create properly 50% and 50%. So you do a fixed size and then how do you tell it to use the remaining space? To me it seems like it starts out using D: as the os drive and e: as the data drive and then reassigns the letters or something. Effectively removing E: Also found this link that seems to suggest 50% and 100% - https://itdiplomat.wordpress.com/2010/12/05/how-to-create-2-formated-partition-in-sccm-2007-osd-task-sequence/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted January 30, 2015 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 ok so that's your partitions after the step ? well if so it's obviously working, or is it ? can you post the SMSTS.log files in there entirety so we can review the step in question and the failure.

P@docIT Posted February 2, 2015 Report post Posted February 2, 2015 Hi Niall. Full log is attached to my OP. The partitioning does appear to work. Unfortunately after applying the OS It fails when it hits the step to install the client, for some reason it starts looking for my source files to be on E: instead of D: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P@docIT Posted February 9, 2015 Report post Posted February 9, 2015 No ideas? Anyone? Could it be that I only have one "image" in my wim file? If you notice in my Apply OS step my image package is 1-1. That is my only option. I know typically there are two options. 1-1 and 2-2. One being (I believe) some sort of system image and the other the actual OS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
