OSD "Unspecified Error" adding storage drivers - 8/25/2008 1:00:51 PM

Hello anyone and everyone, I'm a bit stuck on a situation. When attempting to add a location for additional storage drivers to an OSD package, I receive an "Unspecified Error" with no extra information. Likewise, when attempting to create a new image installation disk, the process fails to an unknown error. Note this does not occur with additional network drivers, just storage drivers.

We are running SMS 2003 SP3 (on Win2k3 SP2 with SQL 2000) and OSD FP v. 2.50.3726.2000. Thanks in advance for any help or thoughts on how I can troubleshoot this or where I can find error logs. (There is nothing in the event viewer)

This may help...

The OS Deployment Feature Pack agent stores all information under the C:\MININT\SMSOSD folder on the destination computer. Log files are stored in a subfolder called OSDLOGS. You can also enable more detailed logging by creating a file called “C:\OSD.DEBUG”. You must create this file before the OS Deployment begins and the contents do not matter. If you are using an unattended script to deploy the image, the minint folder is removed after the script has been run. If the OS Deployment fails, the OSDLOGS folder is backed up to the temp folder before the MININT folder is cleaned up.

SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack Logs
The following logs, located in the C:\MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS folder, are created during the deployment phases of the SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack. After the log name is the information contained in the log:

IDUser.log. Provides information about user notifications
IDUserNotification.log. Provides information about user notifications
MachineState.log. Contains computer state migration information (computer name, IP address, registered owner and organization)
OSDAgent.log. The primary log; the first place to look to determine which step failed
OSDBootstrap.log. Will contain errors if the Advanced Client Network Access account is not configured correctly
OSDEnv.log. Details which SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack environment variables are set
OSDInstallWIM.log. Details image-installation options
OSDInstallWizard.log. Details startup operations
OSDLaunch.log. Will contain errors if the Advanced Client Network Access account is not configured correctly
OSDShell.log. Details the start of the OSD Install Wizard
OSDSWDProgramExec.log. Details the running of the Run SWD Program actions
OSDUsmtLoadstate.log. Details USMT Restore operations
OSDUsmtScanstate.log. Details USMT Capture operations
ScanState.log. Details USMT ScanState information
SMSCMT.log. Details Systems Management Server 2003 client migration information such as site code and client globally unique identifiers (GUIDs)
WinPEInstall.log. Details Windows PE installation information

Note The C:\minint folder is lost during the disk partitioning process. To troubleshoot issues that occur before this point, disable the disk partitioning task in the Task Sequencer.

Thanks for the reply, but that information is for an OSD deployment. The problem occurs when adding additional storage drivers to the image package for the custom WinPE that gets built.

Sounds like you may be missing the txtsetup.oem file in your storage driver folder.

Yep, that was my problem. I had only extracted the .inf, .cat, and .sys files to the folder. Learn something new every day....Thanks!
