![]() ![]() Open an elevated command prompt and type: So, to avoid applying CBS updates multiple times to the WIM, and to keep the size of the patched install.wim file down, I need to remove the unwanted images from the WIM before I perform the Offline Servicing. All I’m interested in is a fully patched WIM that will install Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter during a task sequence. This is all fine and good, but running SCCM’s Offine Servicing feature against a WIM will apply CBS updates to each image that it finds, which isn’t what I need or want. Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERDATACENTERCORE Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERSTANDARDCORE From the Operating System Images node, I selected the newly added WIM and under the Details tab, I noted that this ISO contains 4 images: Once the WIM file was in SCCM, I was able to look at the information about the file. I added the install.wim file to SCCM using the Add Operating System Image function. I viewed the properties of the install.wim file on the network location and unchecked the box to remove the Read-only attribute. I then mounted the ISO with Virtual Clone Drive and used Robocopy to copy the install.wim file from the \sources\ directory to a network location. I downloaded the Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter ISO from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center, and got an approximately 5 GB file named “SW_DVD9_Windows_Svr_Std_and_DataCtr_2012_R2_64Bit_English_-4_MLF_X19-82891.ISO”. ![]() What I did to create an updated Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter image This post talks about the steps to follow to reduce the ISO to a single image for a specific purpose, then update that image with hotfixes using System Center Configuration Manager’s Offline Servicing function. One notable twist to this is that a Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO actually contains multiple images for the different flavors of a server installation. The newly updated install.wim file can be used with SCCM as part of a operating system image, or it can be baked into an ISO to produce a “slipstreamed” ISO containing most of the available Microsoft hotfixes. System Center Configuration Manager can be used for offline injection of updates into the install.wim file within a Windows Server ISO. ![]()
