2 Creating a corporate image
Most companies use the Microsoft Deployment Tools, Windows 10 Assessment and Deployment kit, or both
to produce les containing an image within a Windows Imaging (WIM) le format archive.
Requirements
● The latest version of Windows 10 Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK)
● PowerShell
● OpenSSL (or other solution for generating RSA private/public key pair)
Use to generate the RSA key pair used to secure the integrity of the corporate image you create and
host.
● A server hosting solution (such as Microsoft Internet Information Services [IIS])
Creating the image
Before starting the image creation process, set up the working system or build system where you installed
the required tools to prepare for processing the image, as shown in the following steps:
1. As Administrator, open the Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment command prompt
(installed with the Deployment Tools of Windows ADK).
2. Create a staging area for your image, using the following command:
mkdir C:\staging
3. Create the image using one of the following examples:
Example 1: Creating an image based on the Microsoft Windows installation image on page 3
Example 2: Creating an image based on a reference system on page 5
Example 1: Creating an image based on the Microsoft Windows installation image
1. Mount or open the Microsoft Windows installation image (from a Microsoft ISO, or from an HP OSDVD).
2. From the mounted Windows installation image, copy the install.wim le to your staging area, using the
following command:
robocopy <M:>\sources C:\staging install.wim
NOTE: <M:> refers to the mounted drive. Replace with the correct drive letter.
3. Rename install.wim to an image le name ("my-image" for this example), using the following command:
ren C:\staging\install.wim <my-image>.wim
