May 28, 2010  Introducing my Breakout Session at Microsoft TechEd 2010, New Orleans, titled: Using Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE) 3.0 to Troubleshoot and Fix Problems, and to Capture and Deploy WIM Images.

Microsoft’s SCCM 2012R2 comes with WinPE5.0 by default and due to compatibility issues with Windows XP with that version I have proceeded to utilize WinPE3.1. To get WinPE 3.1’s image imported onto the SCCM2012R2 environment several steps had to be taken to extract the file and import the appropriate drivers before being able to re-import it back into SCCM.

Marshall jcm 2000 dsl manual. These steps are commonly documented throughout various sites, but during my research I did not find many complete guides. My recommendation is to create a Windows 7 virtual machine whose only purpose will be to create and update WinPE boot images.

We will start with the following steps as bare minimums: Downloading & Installing WAIK 3.1 • Download and Install the on this machine. • Download and mount the supplementary • If using virtual machine you can mount the ISO to the virtual CD/DVD drive.

• To install the WAIK 3.1 supplementary update, run command prompt in elevated mode and change directory onto the mounted CD/DVD drive with the following command assuming E: drive is where the CD/DVD was mounted. • xcopy E: “C: Program Files Windows AIK Tools PETools” /ERDY • There will be 1131 files that should be copied. • Now you can launch the “Deployment Tools Command Prompt” as an administrator to begin the creation process. Creating a Custom WinPE Image • Once the “Deployment Tools Command Prompt” has been launched as an administrator run the following command: • copype.cmd x86 c: winpe_x86 • copype.cmd amd64 c: winpe_amd64 Note: The copype.cmd batch will create a folder structure under the named destination above “c: winpe_x86” and “c: winpe_amd64” with appropriate sub-folders. • Run the following commands to copy the WinPE base image: • copy c: winpe_x86 winpe.wim c: winpe_x86 ISO sources WinPE3.1_boot_x86.wim • copy c: winpe_amd64 winpe.wim c: winpe_amd64 ISO sources WinPe3.1_boot_amd64.wim • Mount the base Windows PE image using the following command: • Dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C: winpe_x86 ISO sources WinPE3.1_boot_x86.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C: winpe_x86 mount • Add the appropriate packages to the WinPE image, we only need three but more are available.

Hence, a compiler or an interpreter is a program that converts program written in high-level language into machine code understood by the computer. The difference between an interpreter and a compiler is given below: Interpreter Compiler; Translates program one statement at a time. CBG-BSV Toy Bluespec Compiler. CBG-BSV Third-Party Bluespec Compiler. The attraction is that Bluespec has a static elaborator which is basically a Haskel interpreter, but by embedding our constructs in FSharp instead, we have the power of the ML dialect of F Sharp to do exactly the same kind of elaboration. Let’s conclude this article with a note about the difference between compilers and interpreters. Interpreters and compilers are very similar in structure. The main difference is that an interpreter directly executes the instructions in the source programming language while a compiler translates those instructions.

@herbuveaux No you do not need to have WAIK installed on the server and it should not be or you will have problems. Many things could cause this but first i would verify you don't have Mcafee installed on the server or any other AV blocking this action from happening. You can validate the distmgr.log and or smsprov.log to see if there are any errors during the process.

What Windows ADK version do you have installed on the server and where are you performing these steps on the server itself or from a remote console? Thanks, Brandon. Correct that option is disabled on legacy boot images if you would like to enable F8 Command shell support the best way is below: 1. Open a WMI instance corresponding to the boot image package you imported using 'Open Instance'. The package ID for the boot image can be found in the boot image list view under the Image ID column in ConfigMgr Admin Console. SMS_BootImagePackage.PackageID = “” 1.Update property EnableLabShell and set its value to True.

2.Refresh the list view in Admin Console and right- click on the imported boot image and select Update Distribution Points action.
