Applying a reference image in SCCM
Hi,
I am trying to build a deployment task in SCCM 2012 SP1 using a capture of a reference image I made of a Server 2008R2. In the "apply OS" I set it to apply all partitions, and it did, but not quite how I was hoping.
On the reference machine I have 50GB HD split in - 100mb System Reserved/50GB OS
On the machine I built using the reference image I have 80GB HD, and ended up with - 50GB OS/100MB standard primary partition/30 GB unallocated space, and no system reserved partition.
And what I was hoping to get 100mb system reserved/80GB OS
What do I need to do to make that happen?
Thanks!

Can you post your task sequence? This will help isolate and assist.

OK, the basics first. There were a few obvious changes in the partitioning task that I had to do - the partitions were set in the wrong order , and both had set sizes. At the moment the partition task is pretty much set:
create partition 100mb, primary, NTFS
label System Reserved
is the boot partition
do not assign drive letter
variable: BOOTPART
create partition 100% of remaining space, primary, NTFS
label OS
assign C:
variable: OSPART
At this point, will windows setup turn it into a system partition given the variable, or do I still need to apply the captured system partition from the reference wim using apply data image?
