Task Media fails to determine size of image and create standalone media
Hoping that SCCM PG can tell me how the Task Sequence media size is determined. I have a 32 GB USB Flash Drive that fails to create my standalone media because "it is too large to fit". The size of my WIM is 4.7 GB and everything should fit with
no issues.
Please tell me the code path on how it determines the size of the package so that I can make whatever changes are necessary to get this to work!!
Thanks!

Hello - Is there any limitation set to the size of USB Flash Drive? Did you try with smaller USB flash drives?Anoop C Nair

What file system is the Flash Drive formatted in? If it's FAT32, IIRC, Fat32 has a 4GB file size limitation.

I tried multiple sizes and reformatted the drive as NTFS already.
The issue turned out to be unsufficient disk space to on the site server itself (only 4 GB of free space). I moved my package source to another virtual drive.Levi Stevens Technical Consultant - End User Computing - West Region Dell | Services

Turns out this did not resolve the issue, freed up 17 GB on the SCCM drive by moving my package source. However, still fails to generate standalone media that is only a total of 8.89 GB on either a 16GB or 32GB flash drive.
Tried using the COM object to see if I could get better results and fails at the same point.:

That was the solution, after clearing the free disk space I had to perform an "Update Package" on my packages, not all of them were successfully copied to the SMSPKGC$ share due to the lack of disk space. The error message was misleading.Levi Stevens Technical Consultant - End User Computing - West Region Dell | Services
