Windows 10 Ripping the .wim file
Hello all,
So everyone knows what is being asked, I am attempting to rip the .wim file from a windows 10 machine to upload it to my automated install software to distribute out images of windows 10 to client machines.
For context, here is the previous steps to take to rip the .wim file from a syspreped image of Windows 7 for Automated Scripted Installs:
Enter in this command: Imagex /capture C: (yourflashdriveletter):\in
I have yet to get this to work when attempting to do the same with a windows 10 .wim file. As a shot in the dark, I tried to just replace the syntax to match windows 10, but clearly, no luck.
Anyone have any ideas or know of good syntax to use to complete the task?
Many thanks in advance,
Aaron.

So, would there be a way to ensure I have the correct .wim file loaded into my imaging system? If DISM is the way to go for offline, how would uploading it from the client computer to the image system work?

As to whether or not you use imagex or dism depends upon the winpe that you are using.
You should be using the winpe from the Windows 10 ADK

Hi David,
I have done my testing and with some changes to the command line you have commented, I have gotten it to work properly! Thank you for the command help.
For reference to anyone who is having troubles, the changes needed for the command to work with your environment are as follows:
Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:<letter of directory where the .wim lives>:\captures\<name of your .wim file> /CaptureDir:<letter of the directory where the .wim file lives>:\ /Name:"<Name of the Edition "Flavor" of Windows 10 you are capturing>"

Hi David,
Just need some guidance on this. I had this working once and it was great, but now, I've come across this issue to where no matter what I do, no matter what arguments I place in the command line in the PE, DISM gives off an Error 3. "The system cannot find the path specified". I've done everything I know to do, but can't get a resolution on this.
Any type of help would be awesome!
Thank you,
Aaron.

Check the spelling of Enterprise.

That was my mistake when writing the syntax for the example. It continues to fail when spelled correctly.
you can write to z: ??
i.e.
copy con: z:\test.cmd
it works (ctrl-Z)
dir z:
i.e.
copy con: z:\test.cmd
it works (ctrl-Z)

System can't find the drive specified.
Changed the syntax to the following:
Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:d:\Captires\ins
Still receiving the Error 3: "The system cannot find the path specified"

**Update**
New Syntax: Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:D:\Captures\ins
This has gotten to about the 17% mark as of right now
Not sure why this wasn't working earlier
