SOLVED how to open cmtrace tool during osd

[Dineshyadav]

hi how do I open the cmtrace tool while the osd is running. when I press f I just see the command prompt. sorry this is dumb question but do I need to open the tool from any shared folder ?

Hi Dinesh,

you can launch CMTrace directly if you are in WinPE or the newly installed OS during State Restore. If starting from a currently installed OS (i.e. refresh scenario), then you need to use a utility from the MDT Toolkit called ServiceUI.exe in order to make CMTrace visible.

Or

The command line we need to run is for x64 boot images: cmd /c xcopy x:\sms\bin\x64\CMTrace.exe %OSDTargetSystemDrive%\windows\system32\ /E /H /C /I /Q /Y

The command line we need to run is for x86 boot images: cmd /c xcopy x:\sms\bin\i386\CMTrace.exe %OSDTargetSystemDrive%\windows\system32\ /E /H /C /I /Q /Y

This is simply going to copy CMTrace.exe WinPE / X: drive to the volume where the OS WIM file was applied.

Hope that clear you doubt
