We deploy huge image files so our stand alone task sequence media would be slightly larger than 32GB. I'm reading this "What's New in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager SP1" article under operating system deployment and it states Task sequence USB media now supports larger than 32GB. (Sorry I can't post a link but if you google what's in my quotes you should find it quick). I am not finding this to be the case, when I run the wizard there is an option to check format with fat32 and make bootable. If I uncheck the option I get a warning. Has anybody had any experience with this?

Thank You!

Hi,

Did you enable prestart command and include files for prestart command?

Sometime this caused such a problem. 

Hi,

What's the warning? There is a importang note in the following article.

"Stand-alone media uses a FAT32 file system. You cannot create stand-alone media on a USB flash drive whose content contains a file over 4 GB in size."

I get a message saying the media failed to create. From the CreateTsMedia.log it states

Not enough space on UFD drive: size available =0 Mb, size required = 23992 Mb
Error executing first single pass
Failed to create media (0x80070070)

I'm seeing the max file size in the log but it looks like it splits the file up into 4 gb slices.

File splitting is required because file size exceeds max file size.
Total file size is 23992 MB, max ISO file size is 4095 MB

and then it goes on to say

SWM will not fit into the remaining space. Required size = 4095 MB, Available size = 2200 MB
This SWM file does not fit onto this disk, starting a new media disk

I may have found a work around for this issue. When I go to create the media instead of selecting my USB flash drive I select to create an ISO file. I then change the media size to unlimited. Once the process is completed I then use a program called Rufus to burn the ISO to a USB flash drive and make it bootable.
