Hi,

One of our Windows 7 images has been captured using imagex and then added to WDS. When we go to deploy it, it doesnt show up on the list. After looking at the properites of time .wim it has no hal type, is this why its not showing up?

If i do an imagex /info this is what I get

Is there any way of adding the hal info to the image?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

According to my previous experience, HAL does not exist in Windows 7, I think the issue is elsewhere. This issue may be related to the X86 or X64 booting.

 

Please refer to the thread below.

You can also refer to the following blog, it’s detail for capturing Windows 7 Image and deployment.

OptimAdam

Have you fixed this issue? I am having the exact same problem. Please let me know if you have found a fix.

Anyone find a fix for this issue. It just started happening to us. Captured images have no hal information.

Finch7 or anyone else, have you found a fix for this problem?

I just spend several weeks building and testing a different image, and again have this problem. Its missing the HAL detatils and does not show up on the WDS client as a selectable image...

Our work enviromnent has many STIGs, SCAP, Retina, and other IA controls put into place. Figuring out witch one casues the problem is slow and painful!!

Not yet sorry.
