KB: Temporary partition to stage boot wim on UEFI booted devices fails.

When not using the latest version of bootable media and the system is not partitioned SCCM is meant to create a temporary partition to stage the correct boot wim. What actually happens is it just creates 1 big NTFS partition.

What actually happens is it just creates 1 big NTFS partition.

Then it checks the for a system partition and bombs out.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/library/hh824839.aspx states that the System partition must be formatted FAT32, SCCM is formatting it NTFS so it never gets recognised as a system partition.

For UEFI the EFI & MSR volume should also be created to make system partition readable and bootable.

I created a hotfix request, will update this post if anything comes of it.
