Description
The Import-WdsBootImage cmdlet imports a boot image from a Windows image file (.wim) to the Windows Deployment Services image store. You can assign the name, description, and file name of the image that you import. You can also enable a multicast transmission for the image.
Examples
Example 1: Import a boot image
PS C:\> Import-WdsBootImage -Path "E:\sources\boot.wim" -NewImageName "Fabrikam LOB setup (x86)" -NewDescription "Choose this image to install Fabrikam LOB on computers with x86 processors." -NewFileName "Fabrikamx86boot.wim" -SkipVerify
This command imports a boot image named boot.wim. The command specifies a new image name, description, and file name for the imported image. The command specifies that Windows Deployment Services does not verify the source image file before it adds it to the image store.
Example 2: Import a boot image and enable multicast
PS C:\>Import-WdsBootImage -Path "D:\Images\BootImages\winpe.wim" -DisplayOrder 3 -Multicast -TransmissionName "Custom LOB multicast"
This command imports a boot image named winpe.wim. The command specifies the order in which boot images appear in the menu on PXE clients. The command enables a multicast transmission of the image and specifies the name for the multicast transmission.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job.
Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
Parameter properties
| Type: | CimSession[] |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | Session |
Parameter sets
-DisplayOrder
Specifies the order in which images appear in the menu on Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) clients. The menu lists the boot images in ascending order, smallest number to largest number.
If two boot images have the same display order, the imported images appear in alphabetical order of file name. If you do not specify this parameter, the imported images appear in the middle of the list.
Parameter properties
| Type: | UInt32 |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-Multicast
Indicates that the cmdlet enables an autocast transmission of the image. If you do not specify the TransmissionName parameter, Windows Deployment Services uses the image name of the imported image for the multicast.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-NewDescription
Specifies a new description.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-NewFileName
Specifies a new file name for the image file. Windows Deployment Services verifies that the source image file is unique before it adds it to the image store.
If you do not specify this parameter, Windows Deployment Services uses the file name of the source image file for the imported image file.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-NewImageName
Specifies a name for the image.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-Path
Specifies the fully qualified path of the file that contains the boot image. The path must available to the Windows Deployment Services server.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-SkipVerify
Indicates that Windows Deployment Services does not verify the source image file before it adds it to the image store.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
Parameter properties
| Type: | Int32 |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-TransmissionName
Specifies a name for the multicast transmission. If you do not specify this parameter, Windows Deployment Services uses the image name of the imported image for the multicast.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
