ImageX is a command-line tool that is used to create, modify, and apply file-based disk images for rapid deployment. It works with Windows image (.wim) files for copying to a network, or it can work with other technologies that use .wim images, such as Windows Setup, Windows Deployment Services (Windows DS), etc. ImageX works at the file level, it provides the following capabilities: More flexibility and control over the deployed media. Rapid extraction of images to decrease setup time. Reduced image size due to "single instancing," which means that the file data is stored separately from the path information. This enables files that exist in multiple paths or in multiple images to be stored once and shared across the images. ImageX does not perform an all-inclusive overwrite of the contents of your drive. An administrator can selectively add and remove information. The ability to work across any platform supported by Windows.
