Hi Everyone

I need help to capture a vista image back to the bdd server.

I will be using BDD 2007 to deploy VISTA and have followed the guides from MS step by step. I'm able to deploy a vista build (from installation dvd) from the BDD 2007 on a new computer using PE LTI. Then I try to make modifications on the new computer, reboot it in PE and want to capture this image to the BDD via the PE menu item "capture an image of this reference computer", but every time i choose "capture an image of this reference computer", it starts formatting the harddisk and reinstalling Vista from the bdd build. The only thing I capture is the (re)installed standard Vista.

From the documentation - it seems to be a simple task.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Tue,

Here is the Doc that I used that worked for me.
TechNet - Windows Vista Technical Library - Windows Vista: Deployment - Windows Vista Deployment Step by Step Guide

When you boot with the PE disk choose exit to Command Prompt and then use command line to create the wim file, then copy that to your bdd share.
In the guide this is
step 4 Creating An Image
To capture the installation and store it on a network share

Hope that helps
