Combining multiple images into a single .wim file – Part 1 – Capturing the Image(s)

This information is provided as is, this can be a complicated process, so you do so at your own risk.

Here...

Another great feature of MDT integration with SMS/ConfigMgr is the information that is tattoo’d into the system during deployment.
