WinPE Query available images from WDS

[mrbeatnik]

Hi again all.

I'm finding it quite difficult to get a list of command line programs to use within a custom WinPE (3.0) boot.wim.

In particular, I can't seem to find info on how to query a WDS server to see specific information. For example, I would like to:

1 - Query the server to find out what Multicast names are available for me.

2 - (Display the multicast info to the user for them to choose)

3 - Start a multicast session of their choice.

I would expect 1 and 3 would have to be command line driven (through vbs or whatever method I choose).

If number 1 got the details to a text file, I could display them to the user in a HTA for number 2.

Does anyone know if number 1 is possible?

Nnumber 3 is using the following code, but I would like to be able to fill in the namespace and sourcefile dynamically from PE:

wdsmcast /progress /verbose /Transfer-file /server:myserver /namespace:WDS:"my group/mywim.wim/1" /username:domain/user /sourcefile:"images\my group\mywim.wim" /destinationfile:c:\install.wim

I only have a WDS server and not a transport server.

Thanks
