MDT and Windows 11 - MDT capture fails that there is not enough space

Question

I built my golden image in hyper-v as I have been doing for years. Logged into the VM, went to the deploymentshare\scripts\litescript.vbs. It runs and reboots and starts to capture and then fails that there is not enough space. There is 500GB of space on the server it's being captured to and there is 120GB of hard drive space on the VM image.

MDT: 6.3.8456.1000
ADK: 10.1.22000.1

Any Ideas?

Answer 1

Hi @Ray, Rick ,

Please check if there is 500GB in the destination by using checking disk, meanwhile, check if the capture is 120GB on the computer.

If there is no missing, we could check the logs to see if any error in it, for example, bdd.log, smsts.log by pressing F8.

Hi,

The cause of this issue could that MDT copies the LiteTouchPE.wim from the deployment share to the first partition (which has a drive letter assigned) in the hard drive to complete the sysprep and capture task sequence. In the above example, the drive letter was assigned as E:\ for 'System Reserved' partition.

To resolve this particular issue, follow the below steps:

Do not assign any drive letter to the 'System Reserved' partition, so that MDT can copy to next partition that has the drive letter.
This issue can also occur if you do not have free space in the C drive, wherein C drive is the first partition.

Here is the article we could refer to:

That is a screenshot of disk mgmt in the Windows 11 image.

Here is the screenshot of the capture server. It captures to the C drive:

I would also point out that I have a windows 10 image on the same server in hyper-V that I can capture without issues, doing it the exact same way I am trying to capture the windows 11 image.
