- WDS image description wrong
- Posted by David Trimboli on May 30th, 2008
We run WDS in mixed mode, and I've just added my first Vista image
straight from the DVD to the native mode side. I changed the name and
description of the boot image from "Microsoft Windows Longhorn Setup
(x86)" to "Windows Vista," but the boot menu I get on the remote client
still says "Microsoft Windows Longhorn Setup (x86)." The WDS service has
been completely stopped and restarted several times.
What other changes do I need to make to fix the boot menu item?

Well, I managed to figure this out. When you make a boot image from
Windows Vista media, the image file actually contains two images. The
second image is the one you're renaming in Windows Deployment Services;
the first image is the one with the Longhorn information in it.
To fix it, I exported the image from WDS, then used imagex.exe /info to
rename the first image. (Who'd have thought you'd rename something with
an /info parameter?) Then I replaced the boot image in WDS with the
updated image.
Now my WDS boot menu is all pretty-like!
