compiled HTML help files on IMAGEX command-line options. The following example shows how to Boot to the reference PC Capture the image with IMAGEX Save the image on a server 1. Obtain a USB flash drive, or CD with Windows 7 WinPE version (WinPE 3.0) on it, and boot your reference PC. 2. Map a drive to the server you will be saving the image to. 3. Now use Imagex to capture an image of the PC and save it to the server. Imagex.exe /capture /check c: z:\CommonImage.wim "commonImage" /capture - tells IMAGEX it will be capturing an image /check - tells IMAGEX to check the integrity of the image file C: - is the drive being imaged Z:\CommonImage.wim - is the mapped drive on the server and image file name you are creating on the server "commonImage" - is a descriptive name for the image within the WIM Now that you have captured and created a common image file and saved it on a server, it can be used to image other PCs within a designated family. Applying an IMAGEX image file is very similar to capturing one. 4. Use the WinPE based USB flash drive or CD and boot up the target PC 5. Map a drive to the server where the common image file is stored: 6. Since IMAGEX does not partition or format a drive when applying an image, you need to prepare the hard-drive by partitioning and formatting it. If this had not been done, you can use the Microsoft DISKPART utility to create the partition and run FORMAT from the command prompt to format it. 7. Now use IMAGEX to apply an image to the PC Imagex.exe /apply z:\CommonImage.wim "commonImage" C:\ Z:\CommonImage.wim - is the mapped server location and image file name being applied "commonImage" - is the descriptive name of the image you want to apply C:\ - is the destination root directory of the applied image Once the image is successfully applied, you can type, at the WINPE command prompt, WPEUTIL Reboot or WPEUTIL shutdown to reboot or shut down the PC.
