I'm putting together a Windows 7 build for a VMWare environment. I've read a document that states you can get better performance in VMWare if you change the boot volume disk allocation size from 4096kb to 8192kb. Microsoft has an article published as well on how to do this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2272294) - but both documents assume you are using a DVD to do the installation, and goes thru the Diskpart method of creating this configuration. I use MDT-OSD, does anyone know how to deploy a windows 7 build with a different disk allocation size using MDT-OSD?

You can still use diskpart in a command-line task instead of using the built in format and partition task.Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com | Twitter @JasonSandys

create a run command line step to run diskpart using a script, something like... diskpart /s script.txt script.txt can contain... Sel disk 0 clean Cre par pri Sel par 1 Active Assign letter=c format fs=ntfs unit=64K label=scripted nowait exit Step by Step ConfigMgr 2007 Guides | Step by Step ConfigMgr 2012 Guides | I'm on Twitter > ncbrady
