Understanding MDT Log Locations

Before Disk Partitioning:
- Location: X:\MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS
- This is the initial phase, and logs here provide insights into the early stages of the deployment process.
After Disk Partitioning:
- Location: C:\MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS
- Once the disk is partitioned, the logs shift to this directory, detailing the partitioning process and subsequent steps.
Post-Deployment:
- Location: %WINDIR%\TEMP\DeploymentLogs
- After the deployment concludes, the logs move to this directory, offering a comprehensive view of the entire deployment process.

For a more user-friendly experience when reading and interpreting these logs, tools like cmtrace or trace32 are invaluable.
