Imaging unable to create partitions
-
I'm having issues deploying an image onto a specific device model, other devices are fine. It seems to be a problem with partitioning, but I can't figure out why.

I did some digging and it appears bootType is being incorrectly detected as legacy, so the script is formatting the drive as MBR.
$env:firmware_typecontains the correct value, EFI. I found that the boot type is determined usingConfirm-SecureBootUEFI, interpreting a failure to run as legacy boot. This system does not support secure boot, causingConfirm-SecureBootUEFIto crash, although it does use UEFI. Is there a reasonConfirm-SecureBootUEFIis used instead of$env:firmware_typefor the boot type?
