WDS - Windows 10

---

I can't import install.wim from a Windows 10 .iso to WDS. Has anyone else ever tried Win10 with WDS?

I found the issue. I was using an ISO created by the Media Creation Tool. That isn't compatible with WDS. I was then directed to this ISO http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench

It imported to WDS. *(it is appended saying technical preview though but through forums I was told this is the only RTM there is so it is only a matter of having a valid product key.)

@james-clayton,

Make sure you use the new windows 10 ADK,

Then you have to run the DISM as administrator and change the current compression sheme to make it deployable.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools> dism.exe /Export-Image/SourceImageFile:E:\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:C:\ExportedWim\install.wim /Compress:max

When I put in that command and hit return I get the '>>' prompt. I'm not too sure what to follow up with. Thoughts?

@james-clayton,

That means somewhere I've messed up...and didn't add enough information into the command....let me check it out again. I'll try to do so today! :)

[added] I checked the command and it looks correct. I'm not sure where there is a syntax error here. Check your drive letters and verify they are the correct source and destination where you want the exported wim to be. I'm at a loss right now.

[alternative] The other thing you could do is to install Windows 10 into a VM, update it then sysprep and capture it for WDS deployment.

Hi Ronny, thank you so much for giving me that information and double checking it. Looking closer I found some variations in the command posted. but with a little examination I was able to tailor it for my server. It was my syntax.

@james-clayton,

Glad you checked because I was beginning to to wonder if I had put the answer to another post here by mistake! Glad to help!
