    We're running 7.6 HF2

    I'm running into a problem using MOCU to create a Netboot image on a OSX 10.10.3 computer.  I've been following this great post that has worked for us previously:  http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/how-create-netboot-set-ds-76-and-1010

    When I run MOCU and "Prepare Temporary Volume" the process ends in about 30 seconds and MOCU indicates that everything has completed.  The Temporary volume is mounted, but when I look in it only the Application folder was created in it with the App Store App.

    Here is what the MOCU interface reports:

    Free space on system volume is 479.95 GB.
    To Check space required for Temporary Volume click Estimate Size
    Calculating size required for creating temporary volume.
    Size required for creating temporary volume is 24.64 GB.
    Free space available now is 479.95 GB

    I've been troubleshooting this the last two days and decided to start with a fresh system.  I performed a clean install with the latest download of 10.10.3 from the App Store.  I enabled Root and tried MOCU before I started to configure and prepare the system just to test it.  It ran perfectly.  I then went through the steps to configure the system andthen ran MOCU again, running into the same problem.

    I'm wondering if MOCU is riunning into an issue running through the process twice.  I've manually deleted the exisiting Temporary volume .dmg from /Volumes/.  

    Does MOCU generate any logs?  I wasn't able to find anything in /opt/altiris.

    The odd thing is that I know I've successfully run MOCU more than once on a system without any issues.
