  • Windows Deployment Services – For OSD, WDS must be installed but not configured 
  • Unknown Computers – An unknown computer is a computer that is not managed by Configuration Manager 
  • Device Affinity – This setting associates users with the destination computer. 
  • Smsts.log file – The smsts.log is a task sequence log file, we can check this log file if we have problems with our task sequence. It is located on the client in C:\windows\temp\smstslog\smsts.log
