WinRE Deploy

[gr8greet]

Hi All,

I need some help on deploying Windows RE in 1) Fresh Install 2) Existing Install

Background: Laptop is having Single partition which is Active, Boot, System, Recovery & Healthy Primary partition. I am NOT using Bitlocker for encryption.

I Want To: Create separate partition for Windows Recovery Environment.

Conditions: 1) I will not be using Apply Windows Recovery Environment(WinRE) which is readily available in MDT Task Sequence as I may update the winre.wim file & would need to push updated image to clients.
2) I need to deploy this recovery environment to Fresh Install as well as Existing Install

Let me know how I can achieve the objective I am having MDT 2012 Update 1 & SCCM 2007.

I have done testing in MDT 2012 Update 1 for creation of Windows RE Partition which works well if I call the Task Sequence ( by going to DeploymentShare & launching LiteTouch.vbs manually). But if I select the same task sequence in the LiteTouch Deployment , it fails giving error regarding REagentC.exe as Task sequence fails to disable the existing recovery environment.

Below is in my Task Sequence in MDT.

• 1) Diskapart command to shrink, format & assign drive letter for Windows recovery (S:)
• 2) Create folder structure S:\Recovery\WindowsRE
• 3) Copy winre.wim from Deploymentshare\Scripts folder to S:\Recovery\WindowsRE
• 4) Disable Windows RE Environment ( reagentc /disable)
• 5) Set Recovery Environment Reagentc.exe /setreimage /path S:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows
• 6) Enable Windows RE Environment ( reagentc /Enable)

Thanks In Advance
Mandy!
