Apparently when MDT deploys a new server 2008 system it adds a BDE drive at the end of the OS partition. Also most like server 2012 as well. &nbsp;This makes it very difficult to expand the OS drive if needed later down the road. How do I prevent MDT deployments from creating a BDE drive in the first place? We never use it and it's just not needed.
