- dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:\source\winpe.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\mount
Copy DD for Dos to winpe
- C:\Mount\Windows\System32
- copy dd for dos and dll
- Close window.
Run Deployment and Imaging Tools from Windows Kits to commit changes.
- dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\mount /commit
Copy created winpe.wim from source to your Boot Image location on SCCM server.
Create a new Boot Image
- In SCCM create a new boot image.
- Point it to the newly created .wim

Step 3: Command Line - Apply Image using dd command for Task sequence
- dd if=I:\strato.img of=\\?\Device\Harddisk0\Partition0 bs=1M --size --progress
Task Sequence In-=Place Upgrade
copy Bare metal Task sequence
place restart as the first step
