bilemke Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 From what I have heard, the wim image has changed every other build of Longhorn in the Pre-B1 builds.. I think it will not be a big deal.. Just te image format will change but the method of using the images will be the same.I am not a big fan fo sysprep, buy you could be encountering problems native to sysprep and unrelated to the fact you are usign wim images. Without having really run into the sysprep problems myself.. Reading about he limitations has somewhat made me stray away from using them.. I am thinking of using a PXE boot of WinPE2005 and then using wim image across a network.. This should be pretty fast.. Only otherway I have seen to speed up installs based on a wim image made right after textmode setup is to have the i386 folder also be in the wim image so that the setup files are copied to the drive when applying the wim image.. This almost doubles the image size though. I might not mind this as almsot everything I work on has a dvd-rom drive atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
