[<CommonParameters>] Description
Use this cmdlet to modify an OS boot image. Boot images are Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) images into which you boot a client computer before you install an OS.
You can add device drivers to a boot image or change its properties. Before you can add a new device driver, you must first import the driver to the Configuration Manager driver catalog and enable it.
Each version of Configuration Manager supports a specific version of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK). You can service, or customize, boot images when they're based on a Windows PE version from the supported version of Windows ADK.
For more information, see Manage boot images with Configuration Manager.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Rename a boot image
This command gets a boot image by its package ID, and then renames it.
Set-CMBootimage -Id "CM100004" -NewName "Custom boot image"Example 2: Set descriptive properties
This command gets a boot image by its name, and then adds a version and description to it.
Set-CMBootImage -Name "Custom boot image (x64)" -Version "Contoso v2.1" -Description "Managed by jqpublic"Example 3: Set the keyboard layout
The following example sets the default keyboard layout of the boot image to the Russian (Russia) language. It identifies the boot image by its ID.
Set-CMBootimage -Id "CM100004" -InputLocale "ru-ru"Example 4: Add optional components
This example gets the .NET and PowerShell optional components, and then adds them to the boot image.
$netfxOC = Get-CMWinPEOptionalComponentInfo -Architecture 'x64' -Name 'WinPE-NetFX' -LanguageId 1033
$pwshOC = Get-CMWinPEOptionalComponentInfo -Architecture 'x64' -Name 'WinPE-PowerShell' -LanguageId 1033
$OCs = @($netfxOC, $pwshOC)
Set-CMBootImage -Id 'XYZ00556' -AddOptionalComponent $OCsParameters
-AddOptionalComponent
Specify an array of optional component objects to add to the boot image. To get this object, use the Get-CMWinPEOptionalComponentInfo cmdlet.
The following components are commonly used:
- Microsoft .NET (WinPE-NetFX): This component is a prerequisite for PowerShell. It's one of the larger optional components.
- Windows PowerShell (WinPE-PowerShell): This component requires .NET, and adds limited PowerShell support. If you run custom PowerShell scripts during the WinPE phase of your task sequence, add this component. There are other components that may be required for other PowerShell cmdlets.
- HTML (WinPE-HTA): If you run custom HTML applications during the WinPE phase of your task sequence, add this component.
For more information, see Manage boot images - optional components.
