It´s nice. I have somthing like that, but i use a external drive because its faster than network. I use Wandrv to install drivers and WPI to install apps. This apps are in the external drive to easy update. I have installed in the image some apps like: Winrar, Ccleaner, NetFX, Office 2013 because that way i reduce the install time. I prefer to update the image once a month than loose half hour in each install. Other apps that are updated many times a month i install it through WPI. My Windows 8.1 64 bits image have a size of 7GB and the complete installation is done in 40 minutes.

I downloaded DIRUSE.EXE from Microsoft webpage, There was only 32bits version available... I´m wondering if i can apply a 64bits image from a WindowsPE 32 bits...

I never cloned a hard drive like you. I always take a image with imagex or DISM for windows 8.1. I naver had a problem with that. All you are doing is ok, but when the sistem shuts down, you should start windows PE and take the image, then apply it in the target computer. EDIT: Unattend file is not the same for windows 7 and 8! but i think that is not a problem, in worst scenario i think you have to complete the OOBE information in each PC.

Hi everyone. I´m using a 64bits winpe to transfer 64bits system (7 and 8.1). Also have a script to backup files but in this script i use DIRUSE to check the sizes of the folders to know if have enough available space before start transfer to the external hard drive. I use robocopy too. I attach a snap of the script running in windows. The script was made to backup only some folders of the user (Dwnld, Docs, Pics, Fav, Vids and Music). I try with a vbs but only can scan a complete folder, not separete folders and sum the sizes like Diruse. I need any kind of help! Regards!

Hi guys, I recently made a new wim of both W7. What i did is a clean install of OS, add A. reader, Office and a few soft more. Also W. Update. The problem is the size, W7 32 is 4gb and 64 is more than 7!!! I believe that something was wrong with some update, because i was looking the size while adding a modification. Is normal the difference of size? both OS was made almost at same time. Thanks in advance!

I have the latest update and i execute like this: "java.exe /s" Works perfectly.

I run a PE from windows 7 AIK. I capture the syspreped image from a single drive and a single partition in a standard pc (sempron 145, asrock n68) that i use to deploy only. The same image some times boot and some times doesn't. When doesn't, i have to load PE and enter bcdboot c:\windows /s C:. But if i apply that command everytime, in most cases i have a dual boot.

I don´t understant what is the problem you have. If you have the syspreped wim and loader for the system you have all you need...

Hi everyone. I am having some problems after apply the wim image with imagex. I do this diskpart.txt: sel disk 0 clean create part pri sel part 1 assign letter c active next i format and tranfer the wim. Thats works OK. But when i transfer bcdboot with "bcdboot c:\windows" some times in some computers when boot i have bootmgr error. It happens in less than 10% of the computers. If i apply bcd with "bcdboot c:\windows /s c:" works 100% of times but in 90% i have dual boot and i have to manual delete one entrie. I was thinking there is a way to avoid this, maybe deleting all bcd in disk and next generate it again? I hope you understand me. Thanks!!

Finally, I install MSE post install w7, then apply MSE def update and last i disable W. Updates with a .reg file. Works OK, but other way (install before sysprep) is quicker. OOBE it can disable with a reg key. Regards

I solved with this: xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

It just a typing wrong. Order numbers are OK. I modified the post already!

Hi guys, I need some help with my xml.

I think your problem is the computer, type list disk in diskpart and make sure you are selectic the correct disks.

Hi! I allways install Windows in C:, never did de system part. Basicaly, i do this: diskpart sel disk 0 clean create part pri sel part 1 assign letter c: active exit format c: /q /y /fs:ntfs /v:Windows imagex /apply x:\windows.wim 1 c: c:\windows\system32\bcdboot c:\windows /s c: exit Work great, never had a problem. I just have another script more complex because many notebooks have cdrom like disk 1 or some card reader also. Saludos!

Hi everyone! Anyone knows how to disable de oobe of MSE? When windows 7 finish install, the new user is asked to complete de MSE install. I need to disable it! Thanks!

Thanks! I thought that but I never try it... maybe there was a setup option. I'll try and tell later!

Hi everyone, im just finishing a new wim of Windows 7 and this time I'm going to add a few list of program in Post-install instead of integrating them all. I always update my Windows(s) and then i make the wim, but in a few weeks it get outdated. My question is if i can avoid the first screen of WPI (The selection screen) and run directly the installation because I am the one using it a the software is just Skype, Chrome, Flash, Java and Klite. I just don't need to exclude non. Thanks, i wait for an answer!! Regards.

HI, it seems to be a great app, i am close to try it but i have to ask something: Can I change the time the app waits 'til autostart? If an app needs restart to continue, can your app resume after reboot? Sorry for my english... :S

Just because is the same. I have to enter in diskpart and exit anyway. At first i included format in diskpart script, and one day, when i made a menu, i just wrote the script in that way...

Thanks! i was also looking at easydriverpacks and i wondering if it could be executed before the first logon, like windows XP... anyone knows??

The best mode is without extra drivers. Using Imagex and sysprep you can easyly make an universal windows 7. I quote my answer to other post: You first need to know how to do a WinPE (x86 or x64)

Hi everyone. I need help for integrate multiple drivers to my windows 7. I install it in very differents kind of hardware (Intel, AMD, Netbook, Etc) and i try with DISM, DPinst and PNPUtil and doesnt work at all! This tools install the driver in the system a causes problem with all hardware. I need to put several display drivers (for example) and windows select the best to work. I Hope you understand my english :S Regards!

Hello. First you have to customize your windows 7, in audit mode. - Install new fresh OS. - Execute C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep /audit - When restart delete the user you had done (Only Administrator User left) - Install Updates, customize, install drivers, etc. - Generate an unattend.xml file for unattend the sysprep process and ser copyprofile=true. (if you need help with this just ask) - Execute C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep /oobe /generalize /quit /unattend:unattend.xml - Restart with WinPE - Run Imagex /capture /compress fast c: c:\windows7.wim "Windows 7 Ultimate" (or whatever) Then in other pc, run WinPE with the image you captured before If you wanna clean all HDD and you have no data to keep. Execute Diskpart In diskpart type: list disk (see what number of disk you wanna install) sel disk 0 (if is 0) clean create part pri sel part 1 assign letter C: active exit when exit diskpart, execute: format c: /q /y /fs:NTFS /v:Windows Imagex /apply X:\windows7.wim 1 c: (X: is the drive you have the image. may be D, E, F etc) When imagex ends: C:\windows\system32\bcdboot c:\windows /s c: exit restart and wait for a full unattended and universal windows installation.

I have error 1935 while installing in T13... works great in normal enviroment, when install finish...
