SMS DOES NOT INSTALL DURING OSD

Question

Hi Team,

I have an issue with OSD which is the SMS client is not installing through OSD in specific location. I have changed the MP in CCM installation step still issue persist. The same task sequence is working properly in other location. Also i cant find any smsts logs in the problematic machine.

Also i noticed the _SMSTaskSequence folder is stored on D: partition. And content in the folder is showing like corrupted

D: partition is larger than C: partiton. Both partitions are encrypted during OSD

Below i can find from CCM step of TS in deployment.

One thought, don't format the D volume until later in the process, so it only has your main system drive to work with.
