Hello,

i have been reading this forum for a while but this is the first time i am commenting.
I have been using Opsi for about 2 weeks and it has been awsome. But now i have a problem.... maybe you guys can help me.

I have an .omg image of windows7-x64 with multiple programs installed and i would like to be able to install this image automatic with opsi. Is this possible? If so, how do i do it?

Thank you very much

i mean .omg. It is from O&O Diskimage utility.....

I can make the images in other format if there is support for any other kind of images....

if you can script the image restore via a batch file then yes

How do you script the image restore via a batch file? With which type of image have you done it?

Thanks for the help...

I don't know how O&O works, that's for you to work out. But you can build a regular unattend windows 7 netboot product, for instance, and then replace the original setup.exe with a batchfile called setup.exe.cmd

I use this in combination with imagex to restore custom wim image

the batchfile setp.exe.cmd might look something like this:

Code: Alles auswählen

NET USE Q: \\server\restoredir /user:somebody P@ssword1
SET RESTOREIMG = Q:\restore.omg
whateverthecommandlineexecutableforo&oiscalled.exe /silentrestoreswitch %RESTOREIMG%
another possibility is to create a custom netboot product with a modified winpe which includes the whateverthecommandlineexecutableforo&oiscalled.exe

you may be able to cobble that together using the instructions from the following:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Windows_PE
wiki/userspace:acronis_disk_director_10

or deploy your current o&o image to a workstation and then use clonezilla to create an image of that, there's a clonezilla opsi package that you can use at: http://download.uib.de/opsi4.0/testing/

or instead of clonezilla you can try ntfs-write-image and ntfs-restore-image netboot products, I think it only handles 1 partition.

which solution works best for you I don't know, you''ll have to experiment with that yourself
