How to create a Clean WINPE (BOOT.WIM) on the Core Server

Issue

• WINPE is failing to load drivers that have been injected.
• WINPE is corrupt and needs to rebuild it.
• Need to create a new BOOT.WIM.
• BOOT.WIM file is missing from the Managementsuite\LANDesk\VBOOT folder on the Core Server.

Resolution

1. MOVE all of the following files on the Core Server to a Temp folder as a backup if they exist:
   • Managementsuite\BOOT.WIM.BAK
   • Managementsuite\BOOTMEDIA.WIM.BAK
   • Managementsuite\BOOT_x64.WIM.BAK
   • Managementsuite\LANDesk\VBOOT\BOOT.WIM.BAK
   • Managementsuite\LANDesk\VBOOT\BOOTMEDIA.WIM.BAK
   • Managementsuite\LANDesk\VBOOT\BOOT_x64.WIM.BAK
   • Managementsuite\LANDesk\VBOOT\BOOT.WIM
   • Managementsuite\LANDesk\VBOOT\BOOTMEDIA.WIM
   • Managementsuite\LANDesk\VBOOT\BOOT_x64.WIM
2. Copy BOOT.WIM and BOOT_x64.WIM from the Managementsuite\LANDesk\VBOOT\Clean folder to the Managementsuite\LANDesk\VBOOT folder on the Core Server.
3. In Windows Explorer, right-click OSD.UPGRADE.EXE in the Managementsuite folder on the Core Server and select the "Run as administrator" option. This will open a command prompt window that will stay open until it is finished.
4. When OSD.UPGRADE.EXE finishes, inject any required NIC or Disk Controller drivers into WINPE through the LANDESK Console.
5. For 2016 and older versions, redeploy all PXE representatives. For 2016.3 and newer versions, wait for the PXE reps to automatically download the BOOT.WIM and BOOT_x64.WIM files from the Core Server.
