Creating New SCCM Boot Images from WAIK

I recently needed to create a new boot image from scratch for use in SCCM to support a Windows 7 migration.  Typically I would create a boot image from scratch, but at one point an SCCM admin had deleted the default boot images and created their own, which I couldn’t trust were created properly.  So I copied winpe.wim from the installation directory of WAIK and then proceed with my custom process of adding HTA support into the boot image.

But what I also discovered was that I needed to add both scripting and WMI support as well since that’s not included by default into the boot images!  Microsoft has outlined how to add those features  as per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680372.aspx

Reblog: ConfigMgr OSD Always including certain files in your Boot Images

Cool way to automagically include support-related files in your boot images for troubleshooting during task sequences.  I’m re-blogging it so I would always remember it ;-)
