Dear all,
Our OSD fails when initiated within Windows. After doing a couple of tasks like USMT the task sequence, the task sequence reaches the "Restart to Windows PE" step (Restart Computer - The boot image assigned to this task sequence) and fails the step with error 0x80070020 (file in use).
The USMT log looks like this:

I thought it had something to do with the boot image, so I re-built the boot image from an earlier version (injecting the newer drivers etc.) and it worked. For a short period of time I could it would be able to reboot to WinPE with the new boot image. However - now i fails again with the same error, eventhough it's a new boot image and new package - distributed to all DPs etc.
So I think the error is sporadic since I was able to get it to work shortly, or maybe "something" happens to the boot image after a while. But I am at a loss! I don't know how to troubleshoot any further.
Addition details: All the TS's and boot images are created on a parent server, then synced to a child site where everything the TS is run. The parent site had to have WAIK reparied recently (I found out I couldn't create boot images when I wanted to test another boot image, which led to the WAIK repair which fixed the issue about not being able to create new boot images).
Have anybody ever seen this issue before (my google-fu says no)? What to do from here?
In advance: Sorry...
