SMSTS.log

SMSTS.log helps to troubleshoot image deployment issue

The log moves around during the different stages of the OS deployment. As mentioned below it will start in:

·         x:\windows\temp\smstslog\smsts.log (When you get the error press F8 and get the log file)

·         After the format of the drive smsts.log is copied to c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log

·         After the process is done, you can find the log file in %windir%\system32\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
