Does anyone know where the TSMBOOTSTRAP.INI file is taken from when building a set of deployment media? We are building a deployment DVD (standalone) that we edit the tsmbootstrap.ini to make it unattended. When we save the ISO there seems to be a problem where we can't have it greater than 4gb. So I would like to edit the source of the tsmbootstrap.ini file rather than editing it each time. Does anyone know where sccm gets this file from when it builds the standalone media? Cheers

In \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager (or wherever you installed ConfigMgr) there are two sub-folders named OSD\bin\i386 and OSD\bin\x64. Each sub-folder contains this file. You can try editing these and examine the result as I'm not sure if it pulls it from this directory everytime or not.Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys

I have a tsmbootstrap.EXE in that directory but not a INI file. Do you have the INI file as well?

No, sorry. I didn't examine the file extension closely enough. It could be programmatically generated everytime. Why not script out your updates to the boot image so at least you're not having to manually do them eveytime?Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys

Ok, thanks. Scripting it is a good idea, but we are also having a problem when editing an iso that is over 4gb. It seems that when we edit the iso (that's over 4gb) winpe can't find some of the files and brings up a 'Windows Boot Manager' error. Anyway, thanks for your help :) (I'll create a separate post for the 4gb iso problem)
