Reboot To PXE / USB Custom Action
Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) may have an issue
when you add a system hardware configuration action to a task sequence.
Windows PE will not correctly recognize any newly-created disk partitions or
any significant change to the disk structure created after the initial Windows
PE boot. This will cause the task sequence to fail at any task that writes data
to the disk (including the standard ConfigMgr reboot task).
