Deploying a Windows 7 image, which way is the fastest?
- by MatF
I captured an image of a basic Windows 7 installation with some modifications using imagex.
Before the image was captured, I ran sysprep generalizing and selecting to enter OOBE after it's done.
Which way would be the fastest to deploy that image again?
Using imagex /apply.
Or naming the image install.wim and put it in the source folder of a normal installation (on a bootable USB device), running a normal setup afterwards.
Currently I have only tried the second approach. However I just found out about the imagex way and wondered if it would be faster.
Or are the even more methods that would be better?
