In this video, we will show you how to customize a WinPE image with a registered kill disk for use in a network PXE boot environment. To modify the Windows PE image, you need to have Windows ADK installed.
After that, we need to adjust settings in the kill disk app.
Run the KillDisk app, go to preferences, erase certificate, save to PDF, save certificate as PDF2 and select the folder on drive Y.
Go to company information and set your company logo. Next, we need to create a .WIM file and modify it for use in a PXE boot environment. Run Boot Disk Creator included with your kill disk app. Step 1. Select media, select ISO image. Keep in mind that we're creating a network share for saving reports to the network. Click next.
Go to the tab, app config, settings, file path. Input C program files, Lsoft Technologies, Active KillDisk Professional 24, settings .xml.
Select logo file path and input the path to the logo image.
Then go to the system boot settings tab, network, initialize network on.
Select network resource, map network resource and enter your network information.
Go to the tab, app config, check use configured and map network resource to store certificates slash events slash reports.
If you'd like to use PXE as your boot device, select PXE. boot only, press Save, and create a new folder.
Finally press Create and close Boot Disk Creator. If you are not using a network to save your erase reports, an external drive is the next option.
In this case, you can skip the network drive mapping step.
Select the CDUSB option in Boot Disk Creator step 1.
Go to the tab, App Config, Settings, Input File Path. See Program Files, Lsoft Technologies, Active KilDisk Professional 24, Settings .xml.
Select Logo File Path and input the path to the logo image and mark Use This Volume.
Finally press Create and close Boot Disk Creator. Boot Disk Creator will create an ISO image in the folder you chose.
Now it's time to prepare the image.
Go to the folder specified in the last step, mountactivebootdisk .iso. and open the sources folder.
Copy the boot .wim file and paste it into a new folder.
Run Windows Command Prompt as an administrator. Create an empty directory. C, mount, and mount the boot wim file using the DISM tool with this command.
Copy everything from C slash PXE to C slash mount, replace the files in the destination, and close the folder.
Dismount the boot .wim image and commit the changes with this command.
All done. We've successfully prepared the boot .wim file for use in a network PXE boot environment.
