SCCM 2007 - Create TS Media Error - Failed to create media (0x80070057)

Hi

Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong place but I couldn't seem to locate a zone for SCCM!

I am having issues persuading SCCM to put one of my task sequences on to stand-alone media (USB device). Other task sequences work fine, it is just this particular one giving me problems.

The Task Sequence Media Wizard starts, everything seems to go quite well, then after about 20 minutes it errors with the message "Error creating media. Error message is: The parameter is incorrect.. Please refer to CreateTSMedia.log to get details"

So I examine the CreateTSMedia.log, which shows this error:

CreateTsMedia failed with error 0x80070057.

In case it would be useful, here is the relevant (I think) part of the log file:

<![LOG[Staging OS Image Package HQ10006A]LOG]!><time="15:04:43.347+-60" date="09-05-2011" component="CreateTsMedia" context="" type="1" thread="5036" file="mediagenerator.cpp:346">

So far I have tried using different USB sticks of varying sizes, always with the same error. I have also read various articles online regarding this error, most of which point to a Microsoft solution (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;2471018) which does not work for me - I have disconnected all network drives, and have no hidden partitions without a drive letter.

I have also tried creating the task sequence media from different PCs and different operating systems (Windows XP Pro SP3 and Windows 7 Enterprise), but this makes no difference.

I am using SCCM 2007 R3.

So I am completely stuck now. I cannot find many solutions via google, because it seems that the Microsoft Support article solves the issue for most other people. Any further ideas would be very gratefully received.

Thanks

Are you on 2003 or 2008?

We are using SCCM 2007 R3 on Server 2008, and I have been attempting to create the TS media from machines running Windows XP and Windows 7.

Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to respond to this. I scanned through the log with Trace32 as you suggested and I spotted a few discrepancies with the OS image package itself. I am wondering if problems with the package might have caused the issue, so I am currently re-capturing the image and rebuilding the package to see if this solves the problem.
Nice!

Please post the resolution as well.

TIA
