The Deployment Guys: Persisting ConfigMgr Packages during a Task Sequence
”The MDT Task Sequences for System Center Configuration Manager 2007 use a clever technique to download and persist the MDT Files package during each phase of the Task Sequence.  The Use Toolkit Package step uses the ZTISCCM.wsf script to copy the contents of the package to a WDPackage subfolder of the _SMSTaskSequence folder.  The Task Sequencer maintains this folder (the path of which is held in the _SMSTSMDataPath variable) for holding the logs and downloaded package contents.  So the WDPackage folder will continue to exist until the next reboot.  MDT places the path to the WDPackage folder in the DeployRoot variable.

Doing this prevents repeated download of the MDT Files every time the execution of an MDT script is needed.  My customer wanted to be able to used the same technique for their custom scripts.  They maintain a package of custom scripts so that they are not mixed in with the MDT scripts.  This will allow them to update/replace the MDT Files package as needed without having to worry about their custom scripts.
