DataImage usage within Vista .xml


Recommended Posts

Just got to the point where I wanna try out adding drivers and tools to the unattend install of Vista using the DataImages option. According to the documentation, they wanna specify the location of the dataimage.wim file using:

\\networkshare\share\dataimage.wim + domain, user and pass ?

I am somewhat confused, as they normally point an UNC path as:

\\server\share\path_to_wim_file.wim

I tried the last alternative but with limited success. The .wim is working if I apply it manually using imagex.exe but not from the WDS .xml file (do you have to add the imagex tool into the WinPE boot image?). Also, I can open the UNC from full Win32 using the same security context as the credentials specified in the .xml file.

<Path>\\server\share\DataWIM\Mainhook.wim</Path>
<MetaData wcm:action="add">
<Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key>
<Value>Mainhook</Value>
</MetaData>

Keep trucking...
