ImageX Imaging
Deployment Solution provides native support for imaging computers using ImageX.
Obtaining and Installing ImageX
Before using ImageX, you must download and install the Microsoft Windows Automated
Installation (WAIK) toolkit. This is available as part of the Business Desktop Deployment
(BDD) Workbench.
After installation, copy the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools
to the WAIK directory on your Deployment Share. After copying, the WAIK directory
will contain a Tools subdirectory.
WinPE must be used in automation for for all ImageX jobs.
Capturing and Distributing ImageX Images
As ImageX is a 3rd party tool, limited support is provided in the imaging wizard. To
access the full functionality of ImageX, customize the ImageX Imaging sample jobs
for your environment.
When using the Create Disk Image task, the following restrictions apply:
z Only the C drive is imaged.
z The default capture mode is fast.
When using the Distribute Disk Image task, the following restrictions apply:
z The target disk is formatted before the image is deployed. If there is a problem with
the deployed image, the computer might be left in an unusable state.
See the release notes for additional information.
