Installing Windows 7 Using Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) - Part 5

In this post, I will show you how to use the .iso file created in Part 4 to:

1. Boot to the WinPE environment on our previously created reference computer
2. Use ImageX to create a custom .wim file incorporating the settings from our reference computer
3. Copy the custom .wim file to a network share where it can be used for automated installs of Windows 7

In Part 6, I'll show how we are now in a position to use the .wim file to automatically install a new Windows 7 workstation.
