Hey!
Just wanted to drop a note for anyone losing their mind like I have been. There is a bug in MDT 2013u1 (needed for Windows 10) where bundle creation fails on systems with SSDs.
This manifests itself as a general media bundle creation failure.
To fix this either remove the MDAC features from the media on the deployment share or move the deployment share to slower storage:
The bug is detailed about one page down on technet: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/msdeployment/2015/08/24/mdt-2013-update-1-release-notes-and-known-issues/

Just wanted to drop another note. If you’re using Hyper-V for running the bundle creator you can set Quality of Service settings on the vmdx to limit the iops and work around this issue.
The iops is kind of a lie, it’s normalized to 8kb/s so 1000 iops is only 8mb/s. It seems to work even if you allocate a couple thousand iops, apparently just not if you’ve got it on a 10,000+ iops flash array
For what it’s worth, I was having the same issue and @strawgate fix did not actually fix it for me by itself. It seems like there is an issue with creating MDT Bundles on Server 2012 R2 (not sure about 2012 or 2016), but if you limit max IOPS to 2000 and you use Windows 10 for your bundler then it seems to work. From conversation I’m pretty sure that @strawgate used Windows 10 as well.
