Press f8 when you get an error on Task Sequence.

The second thing is that you have to access the smsts.log file from x:\windows\temp\smstslog\smsts.log

Copy the file to a network location

Example:  net use s: \\fileserver\share /user:domain\username password

Copy smsts.log to s:

Delete network Drive – net use s: /delete

Open the file using cmtrace.exe
