Explanation

To add a virtual hard disk image to the server 1. Click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. 2. You must create an image group because .vhd images cannot be in image groups with .wim images. Tocreate an image group for the .vhd image, use the following syntax: WDSUTIL /Add- ImageGroup /ImageGroup: <image group name>. Example: WDSUTIL /Add-ImageGroup /ImageGroup:'VHD Image Group' 3. To add the .vhd image to the server, use the following syntax (at a minimum): WDSUTIL /Verbose /Progress /Add-Image /ImageFile:<path> /ImageType:Install /ImageGroup:<image For differencing disks, the path to the image should be to the .vhd file of the differencing disk and not to theparent disk. Adding the differencing .vhd will add the parent .vhd file to the server, but only the differencing diskwill be active (the parent .vhd will be inactive). If the differencing disk is part of chain, choose the last .vhd inthe chain. In that case, the immediate parent .vhd and all preceding parent .vhd files in the chain will also beadded. Full syntax: WDSUTIL /add-Image /ImageFile:<.vhd file path> [/Server:<server name>] /ImageType:install [/ImageGroup:<image group name>] [/Filename:<new image file name>] [/UnattendFile:<full path to unattendfile>] Example: WDSUTIL /Verbose /Progress /Add-Image /ImageFile:'C:\vhd\WindowsServer2008R2.vhd' /Server: MyWDSServer /ImageType:Install /ImageGroup:'VHD Image Group' 4. Repeat step 3 until you have added all of your .vhd images. 5. If you want to update the description for an image, use the following steps: the serverassigned to the image. To display the full image metadata on each image in the group, append /Detailed. Example: WDSUTIL /Get-ImageGroup /ImageGroup:'VHD Image Group' b. To update the description for an image, use the following syntax where <image name> is the name younoted in the previous step: WDSUTIL /Set-Image /Image:<image name> /ImageType:Install /ImageGroup: <image group name> /Description:<description>. Example: WDSUTIL /Set-Image /Image:'VHD image' /ImageType:Install /ImageGroup:'VHD Image Group' /Description:'VHD image for R2
