▼To Add Drivers to the WIM Image

1.Extract the contents of Windows Server 2008 DriverPack.zip to a network share (for example: \\yourshare\share\DriverPack), making sure to maintain the directory structure.

2.Select the service image to update and export the image.

a.Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Windows Deployment Services.

3.Mount the Windows image you just exported. For example,

imagex /mountrw C:\windows_distribution\sources\install.wim 1 C:\win_mount

The first Windows image in the Install.wim file is mounted to C:\wim_mount

4.Use Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM, available in Windows AIK) to create an answer file that contains the paths to the device drivers that you intend to install. See the Microsoft documentation for the Windows Automated Installation Kit for the details of starting the Windows SIM application.

5.Add the Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPEcomponent to your answer file in the offlineServicing pass.

6.Expand the Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPEnode in the answer file. Right-click DevicePaths, and then select Insert New

PathAndCredentials.

A new PathAndCredentials list item appears.

7.In the Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPEcomponent, specify the path to the architecture folder in the DriverPack folder on the network share, and the credentials used to access the network share.

For example, the path and credentials for a 64-bit image might be:

<Path>\\yourshare\share\DriverPack\amd64</Path> <Credentials>

<Domain>MyDomain</Domain>

<Username>MyUserName</Username>

<Password>MyPassword</Password>

</Credentials>
