Convert windowsimage ps1 wim2vhd for windows 10

Конвертирование установочных образов Windows в виртуальные жесткие диски

На TechNet наткнулся на интересную утилиту Convert-WindowsImage, умеющую преобразовывать установочные образы в файлы виртуальных жестких дисков. Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 — это скрипт PowerShell, который конвертирует установочный образ диска из формата WIM или ISO в формат Virtual Hard Disk. В результате работы скрипта из дистрибутива Windows получается готовый VHD с установленной операционной системой, который можно использовать для создания виртуальной машины или для загрузки обычного компьютера.

Развернутая таким способом ОС будет находиться в таком же состоянии, как после применения образа и первой перезагрузки в ходе обычной установки. Такой же эффект получается после обработки (Generalize) уже установленной системы утилитой Sysprep. То есть, после первой загрузки системы вам придётся пройти процедуру начальной настройки (Out Of Box Experience, OOBE).

Convert-WindowsImage является развитием другой утилиты — WIM2VHD, однако имеет несколько существенных отличий:

• Утилита переписана на языке PowerShell (WIM2VHD использовала JScript);
• Добавлена поддержка виртуальных жестких дисков формата VHDX;
• Добавлена возможность работы с образами ISO;
• Добавлен графический интерфейс.

Кроме того, если для работы WIM2VHD требовалось скачать и установить пакет Automated Installation Kit (AIK) или OEM Pre-Installation Kit (OPK) весом 1.7Гб, то Convert-WindowsImage не требует дополнительного софта и обходится тем, что есть в системе.

Convert-WindowsImage имеет несколько предварительных требований к версиям операционной системы:

• Утилита может быть запущена только на Windows 8 и Windows Server 2012. Использовать в качестве хостовой ОС Windows 7 или Windows Server 2008 R2 нельзя.
• Утилита может конвертировать установочные образы следующих операционных систем: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2 и Windows Server 2012. Windows Vista и Windows Server 2008 не поддерживаются.

Примеры использования Convert-WindowsImage

Для запуска Convert-WindowsImage необходимо скопировать файл Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 на компьютер и изменить политику выполнения скриптов на RemoteSigned.

Пример 1

Вставляем установочный DVD-диск в дисковод D. Открываем консоль PowerShell и переходим в директорию с утилитой. Создаем VHD с настройками по умолчанию из образа D:sourcesinstall.wim и указываем редакцию Enterprise:

.Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 -SourcePath ″D:sourcesinstall.wim″
-Edition Enterprise

По умолчанию диск создается в текущей директории. Формат диска VHD, тип динамический, максимальный размер 40Гб.

Пример 2

Создаем в папке E:VHD виртуальный диск Win8.vhdx из образа установочного диска E:ISOWindows 8windows8.iso. Задаем формат диска VHDX, тип динамический и размер 25Гб:

.Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 -SourcePath ″E:ISOWindows 8windows8.iso″
-VHDPath E:VHDWin8.vhdx -VHDFormat VHDX -VHDType Dynamic -SizeBytes 25GB

Важно: создавая диски нового формата VHDX надо помнить, что они поддерживаются только гипервизором в Windows 8 и Windows Server 2012. Можно создавать диски VHDX, содержащие установленные Windows 7/Server 2008R2, но запустятся они только на Windows 8/Server 2012.

Пример 3

Следующей командой запустим Convert-WindowsImage в графическом режиме:

.Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 -ShowUI

Здесь также можно выбрать установочный образ, указать редакцию, сконфигурировать параметры виртуального диска, задать имя диска и папку назначения. Имя диска надо обязательно писать с расширением, иначе скрипт выдаст ошибку.

The ISO file must be valid Windows installation media to be recognized successfully. .PARAMETER CacheSource If the source WIM/ISO was copied locally, we delete it by default. Pass $true to cache the source image from the temp directory. .PARAMETER VHDPath The name and path of the Virtual Hard Disk to create. Omitting this parameter will create the Virtual Hard Disk is the current directory, (or, if specified by the -WorkingDirectory parameter, the working directory) and will automatically name the file in the following format: <build>.<revision>.<architecture>.<branch>.<timestamp>_<skufamily>_<sku>_<language>.<extension> i.e.: 9200.0.amd64fre.winmain_win8rtm.120725-1247_client_professional_en-us.vhd(x) .PARAMETER WorkingDirectory Specifies the directory where the VHD(X) file should be generated. If specified along with -VHDPath, the -WorkingDirectory value is ignored. The default value is the current directory ($pwd). .PARAMETER TempDirectory Specifies the directory where the logs and ISO files should be placed. The default value is the temp directory ($env:Temp). .PARAMETER SizeBytes The size of the Virtual Hard Disk to create. For fixed disks, the VHD(X) file will be allocated all of this space immediately. For dynamic disks, this will be the maximum size that the VHD(X) can grow to. The default value is 40GB. .PARAMETER VHDFormat Specifies whether to create a VHD or VHDX formatted Virtual Hard Disk. The default is AUTO, which will create a VHD if using the BIOS disk layout or VHDX if using UEFI or WindowsToGo layouts. .PARAMETER IsFixed Specifies to create a fixed (fully allocated) VHD(X) instead of dynamic (quick allocation of space) VHD(X). .PARAMETER DiskLayout Specifies whether to build the image for BIOS (MBR), UEFI (GPT), or WindowsToGo (MBR). Generation 1 VMs require BIOS (MBR) images. Generation 2 VMs require UEFI (GPT) images. Windows To Go images will boot in UEFI or BIOS but are not technically supported (upgrade doesn’t work) .PARAMETER UnattendPath The complete path to an unattend.xml file that can be injected into the VHD(X). .PARAMETER Edition The name or image index of the image to apply from the ESD/WIM. If omitted and more than one image is available, all images are listed. .PARAMETER Passthru Specifies that the full path to the VHD(X) that is created should be returned on the pipeline. .PARAMETER BCDBoot By default, the version of BCDBOOT.EXE that is present in WindowsSystem32 is used by Convert-WindowsImage. If you need to specify an alternate version, use this parameter to do so. .PARAMETER MergeFolder Specifies additional MergeFolder path to be added to the root of the VHD(X) .PARAMETER BCDinVHD Specifies the purpose of the VHD(x). Use NativeBoot to skip cration of BCD store inside the VHD(x). Use VirtualMachine (or do not specify this option) to ensure the BCD store is created inside the VHD(x). .PARAMETER Driver Full path to driver(s) (.inf files) to inject to the OS inside the VHD(x). .PARAMETER ExpandOnNativeBoot Specifies whether to expand the VHD(x) to its maximum suze upon native boot.

Does not include Windows Firewall rules (firewall exceptions). The default is False. .PARAMETER Feature Enables specified Windows Feature(s). Note that you need to specify the Internal names understood by DISM and DISM CMDLets (e.g. NetFx3) instead of the «Friendly» names from Server Manager CMDLets (e.g. NET-Framework-Core). .PARAMETER Package Injects specified Windows Package(s). Accepts path to either a directory or individual CAB or MSU file. .PARAMETER ShowUI Specifies that the Graphical User Interface should be displayed. .PARAMETER EnableDebugger Configures kernel debugging for the VHD(X) being created. EnableDebugger takes a single argument which specifies the debugging transport to use. Valid transports are: None, Serial, 1394, USB, Network, Local. Depending on the type of transport selected, additional configuration parameters will become available. Serial: -ComPort — The COM port number to use while communicating with the debugger. The default value is 1 (indicating COM1). -BaudRate — The baud rate (in bps) to use while communicating with the debugger. The default value is 115200, valid values are: 9600, 19200, 38400, 56700, 115200 1394: -Channel — The 1394 channel used to communicate with the debugger. The default value is 10. USB: -Target — The target name used for USB debugging. The default value is «debugging». Network: -IPAddress — The IP address of the debugging host computer. -Port — The port on which to connect to the debugging host. The default value is 50000, with a minimum value of 49152. -Key — The key used to encrypt the connection. Only [0-9] and [a-z] are allowed. -nodhcp — Prevents the use of DHCP to obtain the target IP address. -newkey — Specifies that a new encryption key should be generated for the connection. .PARAMETER DismPath Full Path to an alternative version of the Dism.exe tool. The default is the current OS version. .PARAMETER ApplyEA Specifies that any EAs captured in the WIM should be applied to the VHD. The default is False. .EXAMPLE Convert-WindowsImage -SourcePath D:fooinstall.wim -Edition Professional -WorkingDirectory D:foo This command will create a 40GB dynamically expanding VHD in the D:foo folder. The VHD will be based on the Professional edition from D:fooinstall.wim, and will be named automatically. .EXAMPLE Convert-WindowsImage -SourcePath D:fooWin7SP1.iso -Edition Ultimate -VHDPath D:fooWin7_Ultimate_SP1.vhd This command will parse the ISO file D:fooWin7SP1.iso and try to locate sourcesinstall.wim. If that file is found, it will be used to create a dynamically-expanding 40GB VHD containing the Ultimate SKU, and will be named D:fooWin7_Ultimate_SP1.vhd .EXAMPLE Convert-WindowsImage -SourcePath «D:fooWindowsServer2019.iso» -VHDFormat «VHDX» -Edition «Windows Server 2019 Standard» -SizeBytes 30GB -isFixed -DiskLayout «UEFI» -VHDPath «D:fooWindowsServer2019.vhdx» This command will create a fixed size VHDX for Windows Server with the Edition set to Standard. It will use modern UEFI layout for the disk. .EXAMPLE Convert-WindowsImage -SourcePath D:fooinstall.wim -Edition Professional -EnableDebugger Serial -ComPort 2 -BaudRate 38400 This command will create a VHD from D:fooinstall.wim of the Professional SKU. Serial debugging will be enabled in the VHD via COM2 at a baud rate of 38400bps. .OUTPUTS System.IO.FileInfo #> #Requires -Version 3.0 [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName=«SRC«, HelpURI=«https://github.com/x0nn/Convert-WindowsImage#readme«)] param( [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«, Mandatory=$true, ValueFromPipeline=$true)] [Alias(«WIM«)] [string] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateScript({ Test-Path $(Resolve-Path $_) })] $SourcePath, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [switch] $CacheSource = $false, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Alias(«SKU«)] [string[]] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] $Edition, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Alias(«WorkDir«)] [string] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateScript({ Test-Path $_ })] $WorkingDirectory = $pwd, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Alias(«TempDir«)] [string] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] $TempDirectory = $env:Temp, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Alias(«VHD«)] [string] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] $VHDPath, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Alias(«Size«)] [UInt64] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateRange(512MB, 64TB)] $SizeBytes = 25GB, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Alias(«Format«)] [string] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateSet(«VHD«, «VHDX«, «AUTO«)] $VHDFormat = «AUTO«, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«UI«)] [switch] $IsFixed = $false, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Alias(«MergeFolder«)] [string] [ValidateScript({ Test-Path $(Resolve-Path $_) })] $MergeFolderPath = $null, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«, Mandatory=$true)] [Alias(«Layout«)] [string] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateSet(«BIOS«, «UEFI«, «WindowsToGo«)] $DiskLayout, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [string] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateSet(«NativeBoot«, «VirtualMachine«)] $BCDinVHD = «VirtualMachine«, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«UI«)] [string] $BCDBoot = «bcdboot.exe«, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«UI«)] [string] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateSet(«None«, «Serial«, «1394«, «USB«, «Local«, «Network«)] $EnableDebugger = «None«, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [string[]] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] $Feature, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [string[]] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateScript({ Test-Path $(Resolve-Path $_) })] $Driver, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [string[]] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateScript({ Test-Path $(Resolve-Path $_) })] $Package, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [switch] $ExpandOnNativeBoot = $true, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [switch] $RemoteDesktopEnable = $false, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Alias(«Unattend«)] [string] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateScript({ Test-Path $(Resolve-Path $_) })] $UnattendPath = $null, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«UI«)] [switch] $Passthru, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [string] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateScript({ Test-Path $(Resolve-Path $_) })] $DismPath, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«SRC«)] [switch] $ApplyEA = $false, [Parameter(ParameterSetName=«UI«)] [switch] $ShowUI ) #region Code # Begin Dynamic Parameters # Create the parameters for the various types of debugging.

Появилась новая версия программы Convert-WindowsImage, являющаяся развитием утилиты WIM2VHD, разработанная специально для ОС Windows 10. Она также прекрасно работает с Windows 8 и Windows, 8.1. Полностью переписана в PowerShell. Кроме того, если для работы WIM2VHD требовалось скачать и установить пакет Automated Installation Kit (AIK) или OEM Pre-Installation Kit (OPK) весом 1.7Гб, то Convert-WindowsImage не требует дополнительного софта и обходится тем, что есть в системе.
Convert-WindowsImage инструмент командной строки позволяет создавать (“sysprepped”) VHD и VHDX образы из любой официальной сборки (ISO или WIM образ) Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Сервер 2012, Windows 8.1 и Windows Server 2012 R2.
Можно взять отсюда: скачать скрипт
Для запуска Convert-WindowsImage необходимо скопировать файл Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 на компьютер в c:WindowsSystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0 и изменить политику выполнения скриптов на RemoteSigned.
Запускается powershell.exe и идет работа в командной строке. Примеры указаны в статье: примеры
Например для запуска Convert-WindowsImage в графическом режиме:
.Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 –ShowUI
Для изменения политики выполнения скриптов на RemoteSigned. См.

По соображениям безопасности все скрипты PowerShell должны быть подписаны цифровой подписью, данные метод называется — политика выполнения. Если скрипт не соответствует этому условию, то выполнение сценариев PowerShell в системе запрещено. Это связано в первую очередь с тем, что в скрипте может находится вредоносный код, который может привести к деструктивным последствиям в операционной системе.
Если у вас есть острая необходимость в запуске PowerShell скриптов в системе, можно отключить проверку выполнения для локальных скриптов. Для этого воспользуемся консолью PowerShell запущенной с правами Администратора и выполним следующую команду:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
После запуска команды вам будет предложено подтвердить изменение политики выполнения. Ответим Y (Да).
В результате внесения изменений все скрипты запускаемые локально не будут проверяться на наличие цифровой подписи. Для возвращения к настройкам по умолчанию необходимо выполнить команду:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted
При таких настройках запуск всех сценариев запрещен, разрешено пользоваться только одиночными командлетами PowerShell с использованием интерактивной консоли.
• Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
-отключает проверку выполнения для локальных скриптов PowerShell.
• Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted
-возвращает настройки по умолчанию
• Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
-все сценарии должны иметь цифровую подпись надежного издателя.
• Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
-разрешается выполнение любых сценариев PowerShell без проверки цифровой подписи.

Или согласно источнику:источник

По умолчанию для PowerShell используется режим «Ограниченный». В этом режиме, PowerShell работает лишь как интерактивная оболочка. Он не допускает работу скриптов, и загружает лишь те файлы конфигурации, которые подписаны издателем, которому вы доверяете.
Если вы получаете раздражающую красную ошибку, то, в большинстве случаев, ее появление связано именно с тем, что вы пытаетесь запустить неподписанный скрипт. Самым безопасным способом решения этой проблемы является – изменение политики исполнения на неограниченную, запуск скрипта, и затем обратный возврат к ограниченной политике.
Для изменения политики исполнения на неограниченную, запустите нижеследующую команду в административном PowerShell:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Вы увидите запрос подтверждения. Нажмите Enter.
Теперь вы можете запустить скачанный скрипт. Однако, вы подвергаете себя серьезному риску, так что по окончании работы скрипта, не забудьте вернуть политику исполнения назад в ограниченный режим. Сделать это можно с помощью следующей команды:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted
И снова вы увидите запрос подтверждения. Нажмите Enter.

Лучше почитать почитать, так как не разобрался, что будет правильно: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned или Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted.
Просьба ПРОВЕРИТЬ и высказать свои наблюдения (у кого будет желание). Так сказать тема для размышления.

Решил попробовать скрипт Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 в графическом режиме, и он у меня на Windows 10_1803_17131.165 не стал выполняться, может ему нужна среда Windows 8 или Windows Management Framework 3.0?

Загрузил Powershell-скрипт Convert-WindowsImage.ps1. Далее запустил:
Пуск—> Все программы—> Windows Powershell—> Powershell/Powershell ISE по ПКМ и выбирал в меню Запустить с правами администратора.
Что бы запустить Convert-WindowsImage.ps1, разрешил выполнение посторонних скриптов в Powershell (Для проверки действующих политик ввел: get-executionpolicy –list).
Для этого выполнил команду Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Force
Далее запустил скрипт с ключом -ShowUI: .Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 –ShowU и увидел
PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> .Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 –ShowU
.Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 : Имя «.Convert-WindowsImage.ps1» не распознано как имя командлета, функции, файла сценария или выполняемой программы. Проверьте правильность написания имени, а также наличие и правильность пути, после чего повторите попытку.
строка:1 знак:1
+ .Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 –ShowU
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (.Convert-WindowsImage.ps1:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
Вернул политики обратно: Set-ExecutionPolicy restricted -Force

Что не так? Кто пробовал?

Albert, Насколько помню автор графический режим забросил.
Я когда-то немного поковырял его и сварганил MOD, но это было давно, вряд ли работает в 10, впрочем попробуй..

Albert,

Благодарю. К сожалению не заработало.

Пофиксил для 10. Скачать версию WIM2VHD-MOD v1.3, внутри есть HTML файл помощи для начинающих.
Проверял в виртуалке на Win10_1803, ставил ту же Win10_1803 в VHDX для нативной загрузки — вроде все пучком, новая ОС успешно загрузилась нативно из VHDX.


Внимание! Важные замечания.
1. Скрипт 15 года и ничего не знает об ESD. Поэтому все попытки открыть ISO с INSTALL.ESD или открыть INSTALL.ESD закончатся неудачей. Включить поддержку наверное можно, но лень.
2. Скрипт нельзя запускать из корня раздела, почему уж не помню, были какие-то проблемы.
3. После отработки скрипта ISO файл не размонтируется автоматом, нужно ручками.
А вообще имхо этот скрипт представляет скорее академический интерес.

dialmak, спасибо. Все получилось. Загрузил с загрузочной флешки файл vhd. Пошел процесс установки Windows, но вышел аншлаг: Не удалось завершить процесс установки. Чтобы установить Windows, перезапустите программу установки. Вероятно это проблемы железа. Потом попробую на другом железе.

Albert,

Загрузил с загрузочной флешки файл vhd.

Не. VHD должен лежать на HDDSSD. Причин этому много.. Для поддержки загрузки из флешки нужны дополнительные телодвижения, которые разные для разных ОС (то есть зависят от того, какая ОС лежит на VHD). Короче это усложнение, задача ведь не загрузка с флешки..
Порядок прост.
Указал дистр ISO или WIM, выбрал тип виртуального диска и размер, указал папку, где он будет создан, естественно указал эту папку на томе HDDSSD, при желании написал имя виртуального диска (лучше без расширения). Отметил галку Native Boot.
Все.
После выполнения и перегрузки — увидишь новый пункт в меню загрузки. Он будет последним. Выбираешь его и вперед.
В файле помощи все подробно описано. Ну и конечно нужно юзать оригинальные дистрибутивы Windows. Сборки через одну не будут работать.

WIM2VHD-MOD v1.31
* Исправил некорректное возвращение состояния ExecutionPolicy для CurrentUser на выходе.
* Заменил bcdboot на более свежий.
* Переделал логику работы для ключа ExpandOnNativeBoot, теперь по умолчанию он False.
То есть динамический виртуальный диск при запуске не будет расширятся до максимального размера, размер его теперь определяется содержимым. Так правильнее.
Здесь видно применение ExpandOnNativeBoot по умолчанию.
Это последняя версия скрипта.
Для 15 года он был неплох, сейчас немного устарел.

dialmak все просто супер. Работает как часы. VHD у меня лежит на HDD. На загрузочной флешке только запись в BCD для выбора.

Данный скрипт не стОит отдельной темы, закончим здесь. Я в принципе им недоволен, он иногда бажный был, скорее всего я всё пофиксил — не все помню, сужу по версионности , но осадок остался… То есть IS-AS.
Короче кто увидел — юзает, кто не увидел — юзает что-то другое, а другого много…

Albert,

На загрузочной флешке только запись в BCD для выбора.

Ну вот теперь можно и поиграться. Типа сделать ту идею — запуск VHD с флешки.
Можно тупо переместить VHD на флешку (типа в ту же папку) и попробовать грузануть. Скорее всего ничего не выйдет.
Тогда следует загрузиться в основную ОС, смонтировать VHD и выполнить, то что написано в помощи в пункте Добавление VHD(X) в системный загрузчик
И грузиться. Если выйдет (а скорее всего тоже не выйдет, зависнет при запуске), то можно лепить дочку VHD (это типа дифференциальный диск) и грузить уже её и конечно добавить какой-нибудь фильтр записи (например EWF). Вот после этого можно и курить..
Ну а если не выйдет из USB — то напиши какая ошибка при запуске, какая ОС стоИт в VHD — тогда может и подскажу как грузануть из USB…
А вообще в идеале можно слепить винду на VHD, которая будет грузится на любом железе и там же автоматом активироваться. Типа портабельную.. Это уже как-то близко к изврату, но для общего развития очень даже. Многое узнаешь по ходу..

dialmak, Идея была такая: с помощью скрипта создавается sysprepped VHD или VHDX образы из любой официальной сборки. Затем копирую образ на флешку и, при необходимости, переписываю на другой компьютер. Далее загружаю загрузочную флешку и гружусь с образа VHD (который находится на жестком диске). Но при дальнейшей установке ОС на железе возникает следующая картина
,
Получается, что вариант использования скрипта непосредственно на целевом компьютере

наиболее оптимальный. Но вероятно при копировании VHD с флешки на HDD лучше добавить в пункт меню выбора ОС загрузку с VHD и далее как прописано.

Albert,

sysprepped VHD или VHDX образы

Ниче не понял. что такое sysprepped образ? ты ж просто развернул wim на vhd.. никакой sysprep в этом процессе не участвовал

Но при дальнейшей установке ОС на железе возникает следующая картина

ошибка из-за того что запуск из флешки видимо, тут хз, нужно смотреть лог установки

Затем копирую образ на флешку и, при необходимости, переписываю на другой компьютер. Далее загружаю загрузочную флешку и гружусь с образа VHD (который находится на жестком диске).

Ниче не понял. То есть ты создаешь VHD на HDD, затем VHD переписываешь на флешку, затем идешь к другому компу и опять переписываешь на HDD?
И создаешь опять пункт загрузки (ибо на другом компе ты будешь вынужден это сделать, если переписал VHD на HDD)
Я холодный от таких странных идей.
По моему флешка тут явно лишняя. Мне кажется, что создать VHD на HDD будет быстрее, чем переписать VHD из флешки на HDD
Да и зачем привязывать флешку и грузиться с неё, чтобы загрузить VHD. Это ж маразм.
Не проще ли грузится как всегда, на хрена такое усложнение — такое как правило боком вылезет. И ведь уже вылезло.
Ведь загрузочное меню в BCD супергибкое. Создал — модифицировал — удалил — опять создал пункт загрузки, чего тут городить не понятно..
смонтировал vhdvhdx и создал пункт запуска vhdvhdx
h:windowssystem32bcdboot h:windows
модифицировал
bcdedit /set {default} description «My Windows VHD(X)»
надоело — удалил
bcdedit /delete {default}

Если уж очень хочется сохранить целку и не трогать системный BCD, то для такого есть ALLRUN — грузит мох и болото c любого раздела любого диска.

dialmak, думал примерно так: сделаю VHD для разных Windows. Помещу их на «большую флешку» т.е. переносной HDD, и по мере необходимости для проверки работы программ, буду их переписывать на диск и затем, когда пропадет надобность удалять, так как много места не бывает.
Вот такой вариант загрузки с VHD подходит не для всех, хотя наименее затратный и простой.

Создал — модифицировал — удалил — опять создал пункт загрузки, чего тут городить не понятно…
смонтировал vhdvhdx и создал пункт запуска vhdvhdx
h:windowssystem32bcdboot h:windows
модифицировал
bcdedit /set {default} description «My Windows VHD(X)»
надоело — удалил
bcdedit /delete {default}

А вариант с ALLRUN вообще отмычка для всех замков и работает без проблем. Спасибо.

Version History

January 21st, 2017

This post is an update (using Windows 10 and a newer version of Convert-WindowsImage.ps1) of a similar post I had in my blog about booting natively from a .VHDX file:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cesardelatorre/booting-windows-8-1-update-natively-from-a-vhdx-image/

I’m also publishing this for my own records and folks asking me about it, as it is not a super straight forward procedure..

This procedure is very useful when you need to boot Windows natively, but you need to have multiple different environments like when using BETA/RC versions of Visual Studio, dev tools or simply dual/multiple boots with different configuration and software installed but you don’t want to have any compromise in UI performance like when you use Hyper-V or any other virtual machine environment.

Doing this you don’t have to give up on performance, this is the real thing! you boot natively.  This is NOT a VM (Virtual Machine) booting from Hyper-V.

This is native boot but instead of booting from files in a partition, you boot from files that are placed within a .VHDX file. But you boot natively!

Why would you want to boot natively? Here are a few reasons:

– Need to use Android emulators on top of any hypervisor like Hyper-V (Nested virtualization doesn’t have great performance..).

– If you want to deploy mobile apps from Visual Studio (Xamarin apps to Android or Windows devices, for instance), you’d need to connect those mobile devices to any USB port. But, Hyper-V VMs don’t support USB connections to devices.

– Want to get good UI/Graphics experience, as much as you PC can offer with your graphics card not being limited by any hypervisor, like Hyper-V

– In any case where you want to get good performance from your machine because what you get from a Hyper-V VM is not enough and at the same time you want to handle multiple environments within the same machine (although you’d be able to boot just one of them, of course).

Here’s some additional info if you want to know more about “Virtual Hard Disks (.VHD/.VHDX) with Native Boot”: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824872.aspx

In the past, I used to follow more complex steps in order to create a Windows 8 or Windows 7 .VHD master image, then booting natively my machine by configuring the boot options with bcdedit. Here’s my old post:  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cesardelatorre/archive/2012/05/31/creating-a-windows-8-release-preview-master-vhd.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0

This is the way I currently do it. I’m using .VHDX format but you could also specify a .VHD (older) if you’d like.

Here are the steps. Pretty simple, actually!

1. You need to have any Windows .ISO image, like a “Windows 10 x64 – DVD (English)” from MSDN subscription, or any other version (any Windows 10 version and x64 or x86).

2. Download Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 from Microsoft TechNet Gallery ( https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Convert-WindowsImageps1-0fe23a8f ) and copy it to a temporary directory. You can also download it from this .ZIP download in my Blog where I already wrote the function execution line

[Another way to create the .VHDX, that I haven’t tested, instead of using that PowerShell script is by using the DISM tool (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) from the Windows ADK) ]

3. Start the PowerShell console in administrator mode

4. Before executing the PowerShell script, you’ll need to allow scripts executions in the policies of your machine or user. If you want to allow that at a local machine scope, run the following command in the PowerShell console. IMPORTANT, run PowerShell with Admin rights (“Run as Administrator” mode):

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope LocalMachine

image

If you don’t run that command or you don’t have that policy in place, you’ll get an error like the following when trying to execute any PowerShell script:

image

For more info about those policies, read the following: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh847748.aspx

5. Edit the Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 file with Windows Powershel ISE (or with any editor, even NOTEPAD can work for this).

If using Windows Powershel ISE, you’d better run it with admin rights (“Run as Administrator” mode) so you can directly run the script with F5 afterwards.

Then, add the following line at the end of the script (or update it with your .ISO image name and settings if you got my updated file:

Convert-WindowsImage -SourcePath .en_windows_10_enterprise_x64_dvd.iso -VHDFormat VHDX -SizeBytes 150GB -VHDPath .Windows10_Enterprise_x64_Bootable.vhdx

image

6. Now, run the script either from Windows PowerShell ISE (with F5) or running it from a plain PowerShell command-line (In both cases with Admin privileges)

It’ll be executed like the following screenshot. Be patient, it’ll take a while as it has to copy all the files from the Windows .ISO image to the logical drive based on the .VHDX file that has been created.

image

Since my .VHDX is Dynamic and it is still not mounted, its size was just something less than 8GB! 🙂

image

7. MOUNT the .VHDX as a drive in your machine

Right-click the VHDX and mount it. In my case I got the F: as my mounted drive.

8. Set the BOOT files within the .VHDX

The following steps are needed to make your computer boot from the VHDX file:
a.Open an administrative command prompt via WIN+X Command Prompt (Admin)
b.Type bcdboot F:Windows in order to create the boot files in your .VHDX drive.


image

9. SAVE/COPY YOUR “MASTER .VHDX IMAGE FILE”!!!

At this point you have a “MASTER IMAGE .VHDX” that you could use in different machines/hardware since you still didn’t spin it up, therefore, it still doesn’t have any specific driver related to any hardware. Copy the Windows10_Enterprise_x64_Bootable.vhdx somewhere else so you’d be able to re-use it in multiple machines or in the same machine but for mutiple environments

10. Change the Boot Loader Description to the boot option’s name you’d like

Type again bcdedit /v, search for the boot loader pointing to the .VHDX and copy its GUID.

image

Taking that GUID identifier you can change the description in your bootlist by typing something like:

bcdedit /set {bd67a0a8-a586-11e6-bf4e-bc8385086e7d} description “Windows 10 Enterprise – VHDX boot”

(Of course, you should have and use a different GUID..)

image

Check again with bcdedit /v that the descrption for your new boot loader has changed:

image

11. Re-enable Hyper-V if you had Hyper-V enabled in your original and normal boot partition

If you had configured Hyper-V on your Windows 8.1 computer, don’t forget to enable the hypervisor launchtype:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

When messing with the startup, it rebuilds your boot configuration data store. But it doesn’t know if Hyper-V needs to have some specific settings enabled in the boot configuration data store in order to start the hypervisor. In any case, this is not related and you just need to do it if you also have HyperV installed.

12. YOU CAN NOW RE-START YOUR COMPUTER AND FINISH THE WINDOWS INSTALLATION.

If you reboot your machine, you’ll be able to select the new NATIVE WINDOWS BOOT but from a .VHDX like in the following screenshot!

Dual-Boot

It’ll be just the final Windows installation detecting devices, applying drivers and final configuration/personalization, and YOU ARE GOOD TO GO!

Additionally, bcdedit has many useful options, like copying an entry for pointing to another .VHDX that you just copied in your hard drive, etc. Just type bcdedit /? to check it out or see other options that I explain at the end of my old post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cesardelatorre/archive/2012/05/31/creating-a-windows-8-release-preview-master-vhd.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0

END OF PROCEDURE

CONFIGURING OTHER MACHINES OR MULTIPLE BOOT LOADERS FROM .VHDXs

If you copy the “MASTER .VHDX”, you could re-use it for multiple boots, even for other machines.

Here’s the procedure once you have an existing MASTER .VHDX already created.

First, copy and rename the .VHDX to a different name depending on what you will install, like “Windows_10_for_Testing_Betas.VHDX” or whatever. In my screenshots I’m still using a similar name than before, though.

1. Check initial boot loaders

You can configure the boot options of windows by using the command-line tool bcdedit.exe.

bcdedit /v

Let’s say you start in another computer with a single boot from a single regular partition, you’ll see a similar description to the following:

image

You can see that I currently just have a single boot loader, booting from the C: partition.

2 What we want to do is to create a second BOOT LOADER by copying the current Windows Boot Loader. Type:

bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Windows 10 .VHDX Boot”

That line means you are copying the current Boot loader (the one I marked) but naming it with a different DESCRIPTION. And also, very important, when you copy any BOOT LOADER, the new copy will have a new GUID identifier, which is what you are going to use.

Then, type again bcdedit /v to see the new BOOT LOADER created:

image

You can see how now you have a second BOOT LOADER (#2 BOOT) with a different GUID than the original (#1 BOOT).

It also has the new description applied like “Windows 10 .VHDX Boot”. You’ll see that description when selecting the Boot option when starting your machine.

However ,you are still not done, as that second BOOT LOADER is still pointing to the C: partition, and you want it to be pointing to the .VHDX file!

3 Copy the new GUID (from BOOT #2) with the mouse, so you can use it in the next step. In this case I copy: {bd67a0a4-a586-11e6-bf4e-bc8385086e7d}

4 In order to point BOOT LOADER #2 to your .VHDX file, type the following 2 commands:

bcdedit /set {My_new_GUID_Number} device vhd=[C:]VHDsWindows10_Enterprise_x64_Bootable.vhdx

bcdedit /set {My_new_GUID_Number} osdevice vhd=[C:]VHDsWindows10_Enterprise_x64_Bootable.vhdx 

Note the difference in “device” and “osdevice”..

image

Now, you are done with the “hard” configuration.

Check that you have this new boot from Computer properties –> Advanced System Settings –> Advaced –>Startup and Recvovery –>Settings button:

image

You can just reboot the machine and select the BOOT option for your new .VHDX, and it’ll boot natively from that .VHDX!

Other BCDEDIT configurations:

You can update your boot loaders with commands like the following using the GUID of the BOOT LOADER you want to change:

TO CHANGE THE DESCRIPTION

bcdedit /set {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} description “Windows 7 .VHD Image”

COPY

bcdedit /copy {Original_GUID_Number} /d “my new description”
or
bcdedit /copy {current} /d “my new description”
or
bcdedit /copy {default} /d “my new description”

Конвертирование установочных ISO и WIM образов в VHD файлы

Операционная система Windows

В данной заметке я расскажу об удобном и очень полезном способе, который позволяет выполнять конвертирование различных установочных образов, т.е. ISO файлов в VHD  или же VHDX образы жестких дисков для виртуальных машин. Таким образом, используя специальный скрипт — Convert-WindowsImage — WIM2VHD , можно существенно сократить время развертывания операционных систем  в виртуальной среде для гипервизора Hyper-V.

Данная утилита (по факту — скрипт) основана на PowerShell и, как я уже говорил, позволяет выполнять преобразование установочных образов WIN или ISO в VHD как из командной строки, так и с использованием графической оболочки. Далее получившийся файл можно использовать для развертывания ОС на компьютере и или виртуальной машины. Установленная таким способом ОС будет находиться в состоянии будто только что был применен образ и выполнена первая перезагрузка. Такой же эффект получается после обработки (Generalize) уже установленной системы утилитой Sysprep. Поэтому после первой загрузки системы вам необходимо будет выполнить процедуру начальной настройки (Out Of Box Experience, OOBE).

Для корректной работы Convert-WindowsImage — WIM2VHD  не требуется никакого дополнительного программного обеспечения, но необходимо изменить политику выполнения скриптов на — RemoteSigned. А также учесть ряд особенностей и ограничений:

  • Утилита работает только на Windows 8 / 8.1 и Windows Server 2012 /R2. Использовать в качестве хостовой ОС Windows 7 или Windows Server 2008 R2 нельзя
  • Утилита может конвертировать установочные образы следующих операционных систем: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1,  Windows Server 2008 R2 и Windows Server 2012 и Windows Server 2012 R2. Windows Vista и Windows Server 2008 не поддерживаются.

Существует несколько способов по использованию данного скрипта, но рекомендуется графический режим для более быстрого и наглядного указания параметров и настроек VHD, запускается подобный режим следующей командой:

.Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 -ShowUI
