This document contains supported requirements and integration versions for Imaging Toolkit 14. This document will be updated over time. We recommend checking this document before upgrading your chosen integration solution to ensure Imaging Toolkit compatibility.



Windows ADK/WinPE

This document contains a list of Windows ADK/WinPE versions that are supported with Imaging Toolkit. This document will be updated when new ADK/WinPE versions are made available. We recommend using the latest Windows ADK/WinPE for Windows 11. 


WARNING

Do not install unsupported, incompatible or mixed ADK/WinPE versions.
ADK/WinPE 11 versions require Windows 11 compatible mass-storage / network drivers.

Before installing ADK and WinPE addon ensure your chosen management solution (ZCM, MECM, etc.) supports it.

1. ADK/WinPE causes imaging front-end (Zim) to become unresponsive


Latest versions of WinPE may cause the Zim imaging front-end to become unresponsive when Ztrace is loaded. 


Workaround:
Edit zim.cfg to prevent Ztrace from loading by commenting out the File:Run line.
Note: Imaging Toolkit 14.0 Integration Wizard generates an ENGL WinPE zim.cfg already includes commented out Ztrace.


If:File,Exist,"%_ZimDir%zim.log"
; Disabled Ztrace from running to prevent imaging front-end (Zim) hang with later WinPE
    ; File:Run,"cmd /c start Ztrace /trace:%_ZimDir%zim.log /zorder:bottom",verbose
End:


2. ADK/WinPE for Windows 11 driver letters not assigned causing image WIM capture to fail


This WinPE version may cause drive letters to not be assigned to partitions which will cause WIM image capture to fail.


Workaround:

To capture an image using ADK/WinPE for Windows 11 21H2 or above, modify the following zim.cfg section as follows. 

; Make an image
Label:Dev_Make_Image

; Workaround to fix drive letters BEGIN
If:File,Exist,"%_ZimDir%ZimCaptureScript.txt"
  File:Delete,"%_ZimDir%ZimCaptureScript.txt"
End:
; Workaround to fix drive letters END

If:EFI,Exist
  File:Append,"%_ZimDir%ZimCaptureScript.txt","select disk 0"
  File:Append,"%_ZimDir%ZimCaptureScript.txt","select volume 1"
  File:Append,"%_ZimDir%ZimCaptureScript.txt","assign"
  File:Run,"diskpart /s %_ZimDir%ZimCaptureScript.txt",silent

Windows versions (deployable)

This document contains a list of Windows versions and supporting Imaging Toolkit versions. Imaging Toolkit is designed to work with Windows business editions only. Only the latest Windows 10 and 11 versions are tested with Imaging Toolkit. This document will be updated when new Windows versions are made available.

NOTE: 
  • See Windows ADK/WinPE support matrix above for compatibility.
  • Always use the latest Windows "updated" media unless issues are shown below.
  • Avoid Sysprep failures by unselecting Deployment Wizard Install Windows updates during base image preparation and ensuring the network is disconnected until the machine is PXE booted to capture the Sysprep'd image.
  • For Sysprep failures check the Troubleshooting Sysprep errors before logging a support ticket.
