WSIM Version
Surprising that it fails on the cleaning up portion, after mounting, serializing and un-mounting the Image.
Is there an updated version of AIK or WSIM that needs to be used?

It uses a new image format. The DISM and imaging api from even version 6.3.x (win 8.1) won't be able to access it. 
But I think it's got some issues.  I can do a get-windowsimage -ImagePath install.wim and see the images, but dism /image:install.wim /? says "Unable to access the image.  Same with the boot wim. 
Here's what dism.log says that is relevant:

  • Trying to Create a Catalog file using WSIM (Windows System Image Manager)

    I have been looking online for a solution to htis problem for days and come up with nothing so any help would be amazingly helpful.
    I have created a Windows 8.1 image which I would like to role out to all users within my company but when trying to create a catalog file I am getting an erorr message saying "Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog."  It says "Mounting

    The one image that did work (LiteTouchPE_x64.wim) was from the OS I imported to Microsoft Workbench but the components are different to any that I have seen online when looking on how to do this.
    I have made sure that the architecture is x64 and tried from ISO files I have on the system already but get the same error.
    This is the first project I have been involved in and only ever done IT support before this.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Yes I am trying to capture a reference image that I have created on another machine and then reploy this through MDT. I am trying to open the Unattend.xml file because the "Capture and Sysprep" fails on the reference machine when trying to run

  • Windows System Image Manager Error?

    Hi Everyone,
      I am having an issue trying to create an answer file through the WSIM. I locate the .wim I need and attempt to create the catalog file it needs first to do the task. However when I do attempt to create this catalog file I get the following error message:
    There was an error generating a catalog file for the image ********* in Windows image file G:\RemoteInstall\Images\*******\*******.wim   
    Keep in mind the *** are just substitutes for the actual names.
    If I attempt to just create a new answer file I am prompted with the message box "Editing an answer file without opening a Windows Image will result in limited functionality. Do you want to open a Windows image file now?
    I choose yes then open the image and am informed -
       "The catalog file for ******** cannot be opened for the following reason: Cannot fine the catalog file associated with the Window image ****.  You must have a valid catalog file to continue. Do you want to create a catalog file?"
    I click yes and then I get the same message as list on top. I am an admin on this box. Any thoughts or suggestions?
     Thanks in advance for your input.

    Hi,
    First I would like to confirm if you are using the latest version of WAIK –WAIK 1.1. If not, I suggest installing WAIK 1.1 from the following site:
    Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=94bb6e34-d890-4932-81a5-5b50c657de08&DisplayLang=en
    In addition, please make sure you are generating a catalog file for a install.wim file. You cannot generate a catalog file for a boot.wim file.
    Because of the changes in the servicing stack in Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008, Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) cannot create catalog files for some Windows images of different architecture types. The following list describes the Image Manager architecture types and catalogs that can be created for each one.
    x86 Windows SIM:
    Can create catalogs for x86, x64, and Itanium-based Windows images.
    x64 Windows SIM:
    Can create catalogs only for x64 Windows images.
    Itanium-based Windows SIM:
    Can create catalogs only for Itanium-based Windows images. 
    Please confirm if what version of Windows SIM you are using. I recommend installing x86 Windows SIM.
    For more information, please refer to the following thread:

  • Windows System Image Manager doesn't see any ISO image

    I am training for the 70-680 and am trying to create an answer file in Windows System Image Manager.  When I click "File" and try to select an ISO image, none of my ISO files appear although I can see the rest of the files in the share.
     What am I missing?
    I need a vacation.

    You can see in the GUI for WSIM that you can only open .clg (catalog) or .wim (windows image) when opening a Windows image.

  • What/Where is the 32-bit version of Windows System Image Manager?

    I'm running into the problem described as follows in the WAIK documentation:  "Windows SIM fails to create a catalog for a 32-bit Windows image from a 64-bit version of Windows SIM. To workaround this issue, use the 32-bit version of Windows SIM to
    create catalogs for your Windows images."
    Question: Where is the 32-bit version of Windows SIM? I can only find a single download for "The Windows® Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows® 7"
    Or are the 32-bit tools included in that version? If so, how do I use those instead?

    Hi,
    The issue should occurs when you install the WAIK on a 64bit Windows 7 machine.
    You need install WAIK on a 32bit machine.
    Different binary versions of Windows SIM cannot create catalog files for some Windows images of different architecture types. We recommend using the
    32-bit version of Windows SIM to create catalog files because this version can create catalogs for all Windows image architecture types. The following list describes the Windows SIM architecture types and catalogs that can be created for each Windows
    image architecture type.
    x86 Image Manager. Can
    create catalogs for x86, x64, and Itanium-based Windows images.
    x64 Image Manager. Can
    create catalogs only for x64 Windows images.
    Itanium-based Image Manager.
    Can create catalogs only for Itanium-based Windows images.

  • Change catalog location of Windows System Image Manager

    I can't build the catalog of my image because it takes up 20 gigs and fills the hard drive. Can I change the working directory of the program to a drive with more space?
    Tools > create catalog > select wim > cooks for about 10 minutes, and eats up all space on C:\ > fails because of lack of disk space.
    If I could make it use F:\ it could play with 400 gb instead of my ssd. And yes, the selected wim is on F:\
    Moving the executables to F:\ (imgmgr.exe and dlls) doesn't change that it wants to use C:
    Do I need to change some pagefile settings around?
    Mediocre Access 2010 | (Baby) Beginner C Sharp | OK at Active Directory (2012) | Fragmented understanding of DNS/DHCP | Laughable experience with Group Policy | Expert question asker on MSDN Forums

    Hi UpTide,
    When creating the catalog, imgmgr.exe will mount the WIM file in current user's temp folder, which is under {%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp}. See this picture:
    For the Temp file location, we could change it through the following two way:
    Navigate to Control Panel\System and Security\System, on the left side, click the
    Advanced system settings, on the Advanced tab, click
    Environment Variables at the right bottom, see:
    Edit both the TEMP and TMP file location (value input) to the same location that you wanted, click OK.
    Or
    we may edit the TEMP and TMP value with registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
    On the right pane, change the above two values with the same location.
    After that reboot to check if issue still insists.

    Hi,
    You can try nl-nl, and before you can configure language settings, the appropriate language must be installed and configured in the Windows image
    Add a Language Pack to a Windows Image
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722424(v=ws.10).aspx
    And if you're using an English image, then more change on the answer file is needed, hope this thread will be helpful ( reply posted by Dale Qiao)

    Hi Sean Liming ,
    The main purpose is to download all the updates for specific system version image ,right ?
    I haven`t heared about such an official released tool to do this .
    As for the API ,I have found a tool based on this API developed by our MSDN guys to install the updates ,but I am afraid it doesn`t meet your need.

  • System Image Utility always fails, why?

    Hi everyone,
    on my clean and fresh install of 10.7.4 Server the System Image Utility always fails to create an image. I want to create a NetInstall image and have put the OS X Lion Installer in /Applications. I can select it in SIU and choose to create a NetInstall image. It asks for the admin pw and always presents an error at the very end: Image creation failed. An unknown error has occured.
    If I select to create a NetBoot image instead it fails directly after clicking on the Create button with this slightly different message: Image creation failed. An error has occured. At least it’s no unknown error…
    Any ideas what might be causing this? I have succesfully created NetInstall images with 10.6 Server and 10.8 Server, but 10.7 Server somehow won’t play nice.
    Thanks
    Björn

    Hi Brian,
    I first deleted the Installer and redownloaded it from the App Store, just to make sure there was no problem with it. Even though I now have the 10.7.4 Installer (had 10.7.0 before) nothing has changed. I then went on to set the log level as suggested. I now get different errors based on the chosen log level.
    Log level set to debug:
    Image creation failed.
    *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil
    Log level set to verbose:
    Image creation failed.
    An unknown error has occurred.
    I did not see anything helpful in the logs unfortunately. The only noticeable thing mentioned was: Failed to create image from installer media.
    Any additional ideas? I will attach both logs here, just in case.

  • Install Windows System Image

    Hey everyone,
    I'm running Lion on a 2011 MBP and have a Windows System Image backed up from an older bootcamp partition I'd like to install. Is there any way to create a disc of the system image and install from that?

    You might see if you can restore it using CloneX - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads

  • Windows System Resource Manager deprecated

    Hi all,
    starting with Windows Server 2012 the "Windows System Resource Manager" is deprecated. What is the new functionality we can leverage on to achive the tasks managed by the old WSRM?
    I plan to deploy Windows Server 2012R2 and I need some memory / CPU management

    Hello, 
    We too agree with you 'Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) is deprecated. Similar functionality is provided by Hyper-V."
    Please find the same in Features Removed
    or Deprecated in Windows Server 2012

  • Window System Image Backup Fails to Back Up EFS System Partition

    I am trying to use WBADMIN to take a complete system image of my system with the following command:
    wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:[NETWORK SHARE] -include:C: -allcritical
    WBADMIN is able to create shadow copies of all the volumes on my system, but when it begins to create a backup of the EFI System Volume, it fails immediately:
    The backup operation to [NETWORK SHARE] is starting.

    The system is encrypted with Bitlocker, and does not have a TPM. I am also running Carbonite, but I have disabled it and the results are the same. 
    No data is actually written to the log files either, which is strange. The GUI System Image Backup utility also provides virtually the same error. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Try to test in WinRE to see what the result is.

    Restore. The software attempts to find a suitable backup, which it does and recommends the backup dated 2/5/2013 (about a week ago). I click NEXT, select the EXCLUDE drives to exclude those drives that are part of my storage pool (I've also not selected anything
    to exclude. Here's my selection:
    Disk 4 - USB STICK w/Install Media
    Disk 5 - NEW REPLACEMENT DRIVE (fresh)
    Disk 6 - Storage Space
    Disk 7 - Storage Space
    It reports that Disk 3 is automatically excluded because it contains the backup. So far all this seems in order.
    I proceed to click NEXT to get to the final recovery options page. In addition to the server name and date of the backup, I'm presented with the following:
    \\?\Volume{824f6b2f-3b3a-11e2-93ed-806e6f6e6963}, C:
    Upon clicking FINISH and receiving the warning that all drives will be reformatted and partitioned, I'm presented with a dialog box in about 5 seconds that states the following:
    The system image restore failed
    An error occurred while performing the recovery operation. Details (link)
    Clicking the link presents me with another dialog box that shows various options for ensuring the drive is connected (which it is, Disk 5) and it asks that all USB drives are removed. However, if you remove the installation media, you can't continue anyway.
    Here are my questions:
    What on in the name of Microsoft is going on here -- has anyone run into this problem before? According to the instructions, this should be super easy. I've reviewed the following: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj593197.aspx
    Should I disconnect the Storage Space drives all together, leaving the new system drive, the backup drive and the USB stick and try again?
    Should I install a new copy of Windows Server (with storage drives unplugged) and then attempt to restore.
    If the backup was corrupt, wouldn't I get a different error message?
    What other options can I try?
    I've already made a simple volume on the NEW drive as I read elsewhere that solved someone with a Windows 7 recovery that sounded the same. This did not work for me. I've tried to remove the USB drive, and then process complains and says it can't find the
    path to the install media.
    My server is headless and DVD-less, so USB is the only way I'm going to get this to install. I've also already tried moving my USB stick into just about every USB port available.
    Finally, this is a Gigabyte  UEFI motherboard.
    Someone smarter than me please step up and show me the light! I can't believe the restore process is failing like this.

    A brief update since my last post. I've left all the drives plugged in and decided to replace the bootable USB stick method with the tried-and-true external USB DVD drive. Upon boot, I again attempted the recovery option outlined before. However, this time,
    I receive the following message:
    Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer that has a different firmware. The system image was created on a computer using BIOS and this computer is using EFI.
    I don't believe this is true, but to test the error, I proceeded to configure my BIOS for legacy BIOS support and turned OFF all UEFI support. I again booted to the system and proceeded to attempt the recovery option outlined before. This time, it appeared
    to start working, but then resulted in the same exact error message I reported previously just a short 30 seconds later. I attribute this problem to the slower speed of the USB DVD drive.
    I reconfigured my system again for UEFI and installed a fresh copy of the WSE2012. This seemed to go without any trouble. Once in the new instance of WSE2012, I attempted to recover from the original backup. At this time, I can only attempt to replace folders
    and files and not the entire drive. Needless to say, the process did not complete correctly and I have a half baked of new and my original drive, complete with Dashboard plugins that don't work. The next thing I'm going to try is to install fresh again and
    from within WSE2012 attempt to restore from the image again. However, I doubtful that the result will be positive. Stay tuned, more to come.
