Create OSIM Install Jobs to Capture an Image (Step 4b)

You must run another OSIM backup job to capture the OS image using the specified imaging tool.

To create OSIM install jobs to capture an image

  1. Set the value of following OS installation parameters:

Parameter

Description

OSImage

Specify "getimage" or "getwepos" depending on the support OS type.

BootSpecial

Specify "WinPE2.2" or "WinPE3.2"

ImagexImage

Specify the name of the image file to create

CreateImage

Specify "backupImageX" or "backupGhost"

BackupPolicy

Specify the backup policy for the job.

  1. Activate the job again (use Wake-On-LAN for automatic boot).

    getimage.cmd copies the ImageX client to the new image directory, executes ImageX to capture c: partition of the model computer, and stores the images as a .wim file in the following path:

    \\<OSIM-image store>\<imagename>\<imagename>\images\<computername>\ <$ImageXImage$n>\<$ImageXImage$n>.wim

    After the image is captured successfully, OSIM job status in DSM Explorer is set to Stop. You can now create and register the OSIM OS master image for OS deployment. If you have taken a backup of the model computer, you can restore it now.
