determining drive letter for windows partition for USMT offline folder scan
In our environment, we have some pc's with bitlocker enabled, and some without. When you boot into windows PE, you'll see that those with bitlocker enable show that the windows directory is installed on the "D" drive. Those without have windows installed
to teh C drive. Is there a way to identify in winpe where windows is actually installed, then run the offlinewindir scanstate against the correct partition?
My thought is that i would do quick directory exists script to determine where to run scanstate, but i wasnt' sure if there's somewhere else i can look to provide me with the correct information.

once the "apply OS" step has finished, the drive letter will be in the variable
OSDTargetSystemDrive
.VBS script
_____________________________________________________________
set env = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
wscript echo "driveletter = " & env("OSDTargetSystemDrive")

Will write the drive in the smsts.log file

To be honest I can't remember if the variable is present before OS apply, I can test it for you tomorrow, if you would like.. There are also some MDT created variables, pointing to the OS drive, but i can't remember which, but i can also find
those for you tomorrow!Michael Petersen My Deployment Blog - http://blog.coretech.dk/mip
