Firstly, I wasn't sure whether to put this under SCCM or WDS so apologies if its in the wrong section...
I have a situation where I need to quickly (and temporary until we put SCCM in place) install a WDS server on a newly acquired business site to rebuild around 100 machines. We have SCCM in our worldwide business and have a number of custom built images depending on many things like country, business, sector etc...however, the newly acquired business is not able to migrate onto our network and WAN for around 12 months (office politics) but we have to get all the current machines up to our standard image for that business and country within the next month.
Anyway, thats the situation, my suggestion was to quickly setup a WDS server, add the drivers, boot images and WIM files that were needed and start rebuilding. Foolishly, I thought I could import our current custom WIM's from SCCM into WDS but when I try this, I get an error as below:
These wim files have been created by the SCCM capture media after a custom windows installation was created (with some custom apps and Office 2010 installed).
So, to cut a very long story short, am I doing something wrong and is there a workaround for this, or am I completely off the mark and will I have to create a new custom image and then capture it using the sysprep method / WDS capture boot image?
Thanks for your help in advance...
