The specified UNC path does not contain a valid wim file.

Hi all,

I have setup a new SCCM 2012 SP1 server, the setup went fine & there were no issues.

But after the installation Boot image were not created.

So i thought of importing the boot image.

Now my problem is that when i am trying to import any .wim file (boot image or OS) it showing

"The specified UNC path does not contain a valid wim file or you donot have permission to access it.Specify a valid path."

I have checked & rechecked all the permissions & they seems to be proper but still the same error.

Steps Taken :-

1. Reinstalled WADK.(Same issue remains)

2. Executed the command line mentioned here (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2009/06/26/unable-to-import-wim-into-sccm-console.aspx).

Please Help.

Thanks,

Pranay.

Thanks for replying but it was a problem with WADK.

The version of WADK which i installed was 8.1 which is currently not supported with SCCM 2012 SP1.

Uninstalled it & installed WADK 8.0 & everything worked fine.

After this you do have to import the Boot images & USMT package in sccm.

I created Boot image from wadk using these commands :-

copype.cmd amd64 c:\winpe

copype.cmd x86 c:\winpe-x86

These commands will create x86 & x64 boot images after creating two folder in c drive i.e winpe & winpe-x86.Boot files are present in in c:\winpe\media\sources folder.

Add this boot images to SCCM & it works fine.

Thanks,

Pranay.
