I recently applied rollup 6. Upon completion, all deploy image tasks are failing when booting to the WINpe 2.0 x86 automation boot disk with below errors from clientimagedeploy.log. As as a side but most likely indicative of the issue note, I do not experience this issue when using a WINpe 2.0 x64 automation boot disk.
