RIS to WIM (WDS) image conversion

[Guest szilagyic]

Hello:

 

We recently installed Win 2003 Server SP2 on a server that we

primarily use for RIS. RIS was upgraded to WDS with SP2 according to

the instructions released by Microsoft (http://technet2.microsoft.com/

WindowsVista/en/library/9e197135-6711-4c20-bfad-fc80fc2151301033.mspx?

mfr=true). We have configured WDS exactly as this documentation

describes. Microsoft failed to include any instructions on how to

upgrade RIS images to WDS. After some reading we determined how to do

this. Currently this is where we ran in to a roadblock. When we try

to convert our old RIS images to WIM images, the process goes through

until the very end of the progress bar, it says that "an error has

occured while executing the command" (doesn't say what command), error

# 0x80360051. This error comes up whether we try to convert our RIS

images to WDS images in the MCC or with the "wdsutil" command.

 

We've looked all over and have found several posts out there with this

same issue, but no solution posted. Has anybody been able to get RIS

images converted to WIM images successfully?

 

Thanks in advance...
