Hi all,
Running into a funky issue. I have a 9.6 Core up and running (fresh install on Server 2012). I used the nice new "Capture Template" available. This is quite handy, but I'm running into an issue.
By default, the Dell Venue ships with 6 Partitions (that's right, 6). After pre-populating a record in the new Core with the MAC address (serial number did not seem to work as the unique ID), and ensuring that the UEFI Network Stack was enabled on the Venue (in the BIOS/UEFI menus, still getting a grasp on what to call them now), I was able to boot to PXE on the Venue and the Prov Capture began (yay!)
The issue is, this Venue is running the Atom processor and the Dock only has a 10/100 NIC. I'm using Imagew v2 and the capture was going to take about 2.5 hours to complete so I all but gave up, until I realized it wasn't only capturing the used data on each partition. It was attempting capture of all 50GB of the Windows partition (only about 15GB are used on the partition). I looked at the command lines of my capture scripts under 9.5 SP2 and they look the same, minus the /UY which just tells the imaging program to continue with no prompts.
Has anyone run into this? I'd love to capture a hardware-specific reference image of one of these but it would be almost useless if it will take 2.5 hours to capture and potentially another 2.5 to re-deploy (haven't got that far yet).
Is anyone deploying Win 8.1 and have any insight? Or more specifically doing tablet devices with multiple partitions? This particular venue is UEFI only (no legacy boot ROMs) if that helps. Thanks.
