Create Task Sequence Media using a DDP task sequence

"Does DDP support the option to create a "stand-alone media" using the Create Task Sequence Media option. I select CD/DVD set from the wizard and enter a name for the media file. The wizard begins to process but at the stage the following error message is shown: Error creating media. Error message is : Unspecified error.

Martin - I'll check and let you know. Greg.

Greg,
I have resolved the issue i initially posted, I had been using UNC file paths to create the ISO images which was a mistake. If I use standard folder paths it works okay. However I have since discovered that DDP was not designed for off-line build scenarios using CD/DVD as it needs to write to a disk for the RebootStep variable. So I have two choices use a bootable USB device or create a RAMDrive so that the build process has the ability to write to disk. My problem is I am working remotely so don't have access to the USB option.
Hope this is useful for anyone else out thete.
Martin.

Martin - Correct - you need to use USB or PXE to handle the RebootStep variable.

Just to clarify for everyone else reading this...

DDP does not support non-writeable media when used in a disconnected (from a site server) state. This is because the state of the task sequence must be stored somewhere - either as a machine variable (by connecting to ConfigMgr) or as an entry in a file written to a USB drive.

When you are booting from non-writeable media and are not connected to a ConfigMgr server, the task sequence will not have any place to store its information so that when it reboots it can pick up where it left off (and not just continutally start the task sequence over).

Perhaps in the future we can consider adding a network share as a potential storage location similar to the USB option, but that would require additional configuration steps in the task sequence.

This would be useful, I am working on a scenario where I am building remote servers that don't have access to PXE or USB. I have created an ISO boot media using SCCM and booting the server from this ISO using the onboard DRAC to mount it.
