OSD wipes the disk instead of formatting

Hi,

Did you ever noticed that if you change the advertisment distribution setting of your task sequence to "Access content directly..." your disk gets wiped instead of formatted?

The reason because of this is that MDT sets by default an argument on the "Format and Parition Disk" Task.

That argument looks like "_SMSTSDownloadOnDemand equals TRUE", if you remove this also your disk will be formatted when accessing the DP directly instead of downloading the content from the DP.

If you access the contect direcly you decrease the installation time significantly.
