  1. Brilliant! That works. Thanks for your help. Cheers Ewen
  2. Hello, I'm evaluating Smartdeploy with an aim to use it to deploy Windows 7 to all our various makes and models of desktops and laptops from a single point and so far it looks pretty good. My tests are working fine but now I want to integrate it with WDS so our technicians can rebuild PC's anywhere over the network with minimal fuss and this is where I'm hitting a problem. I want to create an image of my Windows 7 VM and enable it for WDS. I run the Capture Wizard and select the vmdk file, the wizard comes back with two partitions (as it should) - the 100MB system reserved partition and a 79.9GB Local Disk. So far all is good. I tick the check box to use with WDS multicast and I get a pop up saying processing this image will remove all volumes except the boot volume. OK that and I get another popup saying 'This is a system partition. It cannot be unchecked.' I am then returned to the disk volumes screen where both volumes are ticked but so is the WDS multicast tick box at the bottom. I cant manually unselect the 100MB partition either at this point, I get the same error. I've tried continuing thinking it might be working as designed but when I come to add the .wim file to WDS it gives an error saying 'The file does not contain a valid install image'. The same image can be used if I boot the smartdeploy iso, map a drive to my server and select the image. This may be me being a n00b but any help appreciated. Thanks
