Adding Windows RE Images to Windows Deployment Services

When you've set up Windows Deployment Services on your network, you can add a Windows RE image to Windows Deployment Services so that you can easily deploy the image. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. On a management computer or a server running Windows Deployment Services, start the Windows Deployment Services console by clicking Start, pointing to All Programs, Administrative Tools, and then clicking Windows Deployment Services.
  2. In the Windows Deployment Services console, expand the Servers node and select the server you want to work with. Right-click the server's Boot Images folder, and then click Add Boot Image.
  3. On the Image File page, enter the path to the Windows RE image, and then click Open.
  4. On the Image Metadata page, type a name and description for the image, and then click Next.
  5. On the Summary page, click Next to add the image to Windows Deployment Services. When the import operation is complete, click Finish.
