I am currently troubleshooting a Windows 11 24H2 OSD deployment via SCCM. The task sequence is failing at the "Apply Operating System Image" step with error code 0x80070002. Key observations so far: The OS image package (NHQ00125 – Windows 11 Enterprise WIM) is successfully distributed to the DP, and logs confirm healthy distribution. In smsts.log, WinPE fails with “Unable to find a Windows system root at C:\” and error 0x80070002. A “File not found” error occurs even though the WIM is present in FileLib with the correct size. The DP role on one old server was removed; current DP is healthy. Task Sequence steps include Apply OS Image, but it seems unable to detect or apply to the target partition. It will be great, if someone can provide me a fix. Thanks
