Capture, Prepare, and Deploy a System Image

Capture, Prepare, and Deploy a System Image:

System Images:
A system image is a copy of the current state of your computer’s hard disk. It includes all the system settings, files, and the Windows configuration. You can use a system image to recover your data and computer settings in the case of failure of your hard disk drive. All of your current programs, system settings, and files are replaced with the contents of the system image, but you cannot restore individual files or settings with this process.

A system image can also be used when deploying Windows 7 to multiple computers. Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) in the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) provides additional functionality for Windows 7 and Windows Server® 2008 R2–based operating system images. In Windows 7, you can use DISM to enumerate drivers, packages (including updates), and features in the image. You can also use DISM to add and remove flat file drivers from a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 system image. DISM consolidates functions previously found across several tools.

Notably, you can also use DISM to manage Windows Pre installation Environment (Windows PE) images; DISM can manage international configurations and can be used for mounting and un mounting WIM images. Previously, these functions were spread across the PEI mg, Intl Config, and Image X tools. Finally, DISM contains changes that allow for backward compatibility with Package Manager (PKGMGR) commands that were used for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 image files to help ensure that existing tools and scripts written for previous versions of the Windows AIK continue to work. Image X is still provided with the Windows AIK for system image creation and application functions.
