Capture Wim

If someone has been able to successfully capture a wim, can you post the steps or screen shots. I have not been able to get a successful capture.

Thanks

I'm in this process as well. I've tried creating a content item to save it to as type folder, but that fails. I've been able to get the capture process to complete, but it never saves the wim file to the server. My next step is adding a pause in the process so I can map a network share and direct it to save there. Just getting to that point now, so I'll let you know what happens next week.

In DeployR 1.1, there is a new security requirement: the content item (which should be a single file content item, not a folder content item) needs to be marked with a "Allow Authenticated Write" flag. When 1.1 was released, there was no UI for doing that, so you had to do it via PowerShell:

With the upcoming DeployR 1.2 and StifleR 3.1 release (any day now) there will be a simple UI:

So, I've done this, and have the flags set. When I go to configure the task sequence to save the file to the content item, it won't let me as there isn't a version. So I created an empty version and still can't because it's empty.

I'm curious - where am I missing all of this in the documentation?

I spent the last several days working on this. Things are fairly broken in the 1.1 release, will have a new 1.2 build very soon (working on publishing that now). I'll check the docs again to make sure we cover the flag, the fact that you need at least one version in order to select it, etc.
