OSD Log Files Location

Unfortunately, the smsts.log can be stored in one of 7 locations, depending on the stage of the build and the architecture of the OS:

  • WindowsPE, before HDD format:
          x:\windows\temp\smstslog\smsts.log
  • WindowsPE, after HDD format:
          x:\smstslog\smsts.log and copied to c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
  • Full version windows, before SCCM agent installed:
          c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
  • Full version windows, after SCCM agent installed:
          c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
  • Full version x64 windows, after SCCM agent installed:
          c:\windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
  • After Task Sequence has finished running
          c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\smsts.log
  • After Task Sequence has finished running(x64)
          c:\windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\smsts.log
