The Systems Management Server 2003 Operating System Deployment Feature Pack does not support using third-party tools to capture Windows Imaging Format files to use in deployment

INTRODUCTION

The Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Operating System Deployment (OSD) Feature Pack uses the Image Capture Wizard to capture Microsoft Windows Imaging Format (WIM) files to use in deployment. Third-party tools can capture WIM files without using the OSD Image Capture Wizard. However, the SMS 2003 OSD feature pack does not support using third-party tools to capture WIM files to use in deployment.

MORE INFORMATION

ImageX can capture WIM files. ImageX is available in the Microsoft Windows Vista Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).

Windows System Image Manager and the associated tools in the WAIK can perform image maintenance on an image that has been captured by using the Image Capture Wizard.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
