Hi Guys,
I am trying this setup as well, but I have a little bit of a twist. My company requires that we do a zero touch upgrade of our environment, so what I ended up doing was to advertise the task sequence to an online machine (winXP), and then in the restart parameters, I tell it to start with the boot image assigned to the task sequence, which gets me started in WinPE, so I am fine there.. this is just to prevent me from having to walk to the machine, press F12, etc.. So, once in WinPE, I get to creating the USMTbits and USMTOffline folders, which works fine. then I get to the copying, and this is where my problem begins. I created a package that doesn't have any programs associated with it, but just points to my software distribution share\usmt 4.0 tools\x86 folder. Now, during the first Xcopy, we tell it to copy * to the %systemdrive%\USMTbits\X86 /herciy. What this essentially does is to copy EVERYTHING from my SMSPKGD$ share, and not from my distribution share\usmt 4.0 tools\x86 folder. Upon further investigation, it would appear as if the problem might be in the way the Microsoft USMT 4.0 x86 package was created, because if I go to the properties of that package, and I click on the "data access" tab, it says: "Access the distribution folder through common ConfigMgr package share, whcih as far as I am aware is SMSPKGD$.
So, all taken into account, my problem is the fact that I have the wrong files being copied, and I don't know how to specify the correct folder path so that the USMT 4.0\x86 files are copied.
Can anyone provide some pointers here please?
Thanks!!
