12.

Using ImageX, capture the image of the System Drive and assume the drive

letter is C. Save it to your .wim file.

Imagex /capture C: D:\myimg\Vista32.wim “SMC Vista32”

13.

Using ImageX, capture the image of the Service Partition, assuming the drive

letter is F. Save it to your .wim file.

Imagex /capture F: D:\myimg\ServicePartition.wim “Service Partition”

Now you have the .wim files. These .wim files have everything but the

Lenovo Secure Managed Client VNIF drivers.

Depending on your system and network speed, it usually takes 20 to 50

minutes to capture the images.

14.

Inject VNIF drivers to your .wim files for both the Windows Vista system. You

must have WAIK installed on your master system to perform the following

steps.

Note:

You do not need to inject the VNIF driver files if you plan to run

SMCSetup.exe since this will install the VNIF drivers on Windows Vista for

you.

v

Locate your Secure Managed Client VNIF driver files and modify the

provided OfflineUnattend.xml file accordingly .

v

Mount the .wim file that you already created in steps 12 and 13.

mkdir

C:\wim_mount

Imagex /mountrw

D:\myimg\Vista32.wim 1 C:\wim_mount

v

Enable logging. This is optional but a good practice.

–

Path:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device

Installer

–

Key:

DebugPkgMgr

–

Type:

REG_DWORD

–

Value:

0x01

v

Use Package Manager to install VNIF drivers. Change your current

directory to the directory where the pkgmgr.exe file is located:

Pkgmgr /o:”C:\wim_mount\;C:\wim_mount\Windows”

/n:”C:\tmp\OfflineUnattend.xml”

/l:”C:\pkgmgrlogs\logfile.txt”

v

Check the logfile.txt. file make sure there are no errors and the return code

is 0.

v

Review the contents of the %WINDIR%\inf\ directory in the mounted

Windows image to make sure that the .inf files were installed. Drivers

added to the Windows image are named oem*.inf. This is to ensure unique

naming for new drivers added to the computer. For example, the files

MyDriver1.inf and MyDriver2.inf are now renamed oem0.inf and oem1.inf.

v

Now unmount the .wim file and commit the installation.

Imagex /unmount /commit C:\wim_mount

15.

Inject VNIF drivers to your Windows Vista Partition.

Note:

The SMCSetup.exe file will not install the VNIF drivers to your Service

Partition. If you need network access from your Service Partition after

deployment, you must inject the drivers by performing the following steps:

v

Mount the .wim file.

Imagex /mountrw

D:\myimg\ServicePartition.wim 1 C:\wim_mount

v

Find the winpe.wim (under tvtos directory) file and mount it.

Note:

you have to create c:\mype_mount first if it does not exist.
