[sccm 2012] Cannot create MDT boot image? :(

[Blue_Cookeh]

Hi Guys,

 

Anyone got any ideas on this one? I'm trying to create an MDT boot image in SCCM 2012 but it's failing every time. I've tried removing/reinstalling MDT and it's SCCM integration, I've fully removed WADK 8.1 and reinstalled it, still no go. Every time I try to create an MDT boot image I get this error:

Does the same happen when you add a is image?

What do you mean? Adding a normal image is fine, it's specifically an MDT/SCCM issue

[free780]

Have you launched the admin console as administrator?

Yes.

 

I made a new folder and told it to create it there. Weirdly it worked, although not sure why since both new and old folders are empty and have exactly the same Sharing and Security settings.
