Capture System-provided WIM images You can capture WIM images for faster deployments using automated multicast deployments to send the same WIM image to multiple devices simultaneously. You can also deploy WIM images across all devices in the enterprise, and across hard disks of any size in the KACE Boot Environment (KBE). The device with the image that you want to capture does not have to match the target devices for deployments; however, drivers are required for each device model to which you are deploying the image. 1. Boot the device with the image that you want to capture in to the KBE. From the KBE Main Menu on the device, click Imaging. If the device boots in to the hard drive instead of the KBE, boot the device in to the KBE. 2. Click Capture image of this machine. 3. In Image Name, create a name to identify the image. The appliance automatically adds the .wim extension. 4. In Image Source, select the drive letter from where you are capturing the image. The appliance automatically adds the colon to the drive letter, for example C: 5. Select Windows Imaging Format (Fast compression) for Image type. 6. Click Start capture to upload the image to the System Images page. A progress bar appears at the bottom of the page, indicating how much progress has been made through the task for each selected partition. You have an option to cancel the capture, if required.
