Capture Image from VM

HI,

  I'm trying capture Windows 7 VM ( 60 GB HDD , 1 vcpu, 4 GB RAM) But this take long to copy to network.

 So if i add second hdd , can i capture to that ?

 Will this cause any issues when deploying?

Build and capture will only let you capture to a network location.

You 'could' try adding the new HDD - sharing a folder as a network share and then capturing the that share..

I haven't tried this so I am not certain if it would work.

But worth a try!

Won't work, because the client is rebooted in WinPE for capturing so you won't see a share.

You *could* maybe make this work but it makes no sense, the WIM has to make it to the site at some point. You really should figure out why this is taking so long as the same issue causing the capture to take a long time will probably cause it to take a long time to download when deploying it also.

I use this method to build and capture.

Works great and is (unfortunately) necessary in our draconian networking environment.

Hi ,

You can capture to new HDD or capture in the same drive.

Yes, but I see where that could be an issue with ConfigMgr.

If the ConfigMgr build/capture allows you to enter alternate credentials for access to a share to capture an image, then that should work fine, but I haven't tested that.

My build/capture is done exclusively via MDT and imported into ConfigMgr.

I created a share on a second hard drive.

Via the MDT Deployment Wizard I, enter the UNC path to that share to capture the image to.

You only can capture to a network location. 

Make sure you have rights to the location obviously.
