Thanks Ben.
I have made the adjustments to your template for our environment. The drives appear to map properly, but then when it hits the deploy image portion of the template, it fails and stil gives the same error message. I tried modifying the template to use the network drive mapped letter instead of the full UNC in the deploy image section to see if that was it, but that didn't seem to work either.
I'm going to keep poking around.. I'm sure it's just something really simple I'm just overlooking.. Might have to try rebuilding a image and try a new image capture maybe?
The only other thing is I'm trying to deploy this off of my core server were the image resides but haven't set it up as a preferred server.. Do I need to setup my core server as a preferred server even if I want the image to come directly from the core?
