Procedure
UEFI requires USB media to be in FAT32 format, which has a 4GB file size limitation. The install.wim file for Server 2012R2 is about 4.5GB, so needs to be split up as follows:
Step 1. Split install.wim image
Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:install.wim /SWMFile:install.swm /FileSize:4000
This will create two files: install.swm and install2.swm
Step 2. Format USB key
> DISKPART
> LIST DISK
> SELECT DISK (pick appropriate disk)
> CLEAN
> CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
> SELECT PARTITION 1
> ACTIVE
> FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK
> ASSIGN
> EXIT

A restart of the VSS SQL Writer which usually fixes this did not resolve the issue.
A look in the event log shows
A VSS writer has rejected an event with error 0x800423f4, The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried,
the error is likely to reoccur.
