Windows 7 Deployment Series Part 1 - Generate WinPE Boot CD

[imthecrazypom]

Hi Jay - I have a problem with using the copype x86 c:\winpe_x86 command at 2:06: after pressing enter I get the message "The destination directory exists" and thats it - the script does not run. I have installed the WAIK for Windows 7 and th earlier WAIK for Windows Vista and installed them on Windows 7 SP1, Windows 2003 SP2 and WinXP SP3 terminals all without success, the message is the same. Please tell me if I am missing something here? btw these videos are excellent, thanks.

Jay these are GREAT! I teach a basic configuring win 7 class and this will be a wonderful video series to share with my students!!

Hi Jay, excellent video series. They are very helpful!!!!

My environment is PXE boot and I have yet to find any videos on how to use PXE on a bare metal system and load from a selection of images which were created using the MDT. (images would include select hotfixes, drivers and applications) It seems the original wim files are all I find when searching within the deployment share. Any instructions or pointers would be very helpful! I have over 100 systems.. Keep on making videos please!!!! :)

[Benitmore]

Thank you Jay, i just took a MCTS for Windows 7 Config course and the only part about it i couldnt understand is the Installing, migrating, and creating images. This is an amazing step by step presentation. Thank you!

Wait what?

Everything was so great till 5:55

How did you jump from X:\ drive to C:\?

[jaypaloma]

@linkinpark4175 after booting into WinPE, we need to verify whether IMAGEX.EXE is present on the CD, so i switched from X: to the CD drive

We need more cowbell.

[jaypaloma]

@JustChuck haha --- as far as the background music is concerned i was just playing around with this chord combination in my studio and came out with the raw cut (just repeating patterns).
