WDS slow to deploy Windows 7


Recommended Posts

We have virtualized Windows 2k8 R2 64bit with WDS role and I have configured and captured a Windows 7 32bit image successfully. Everything captured fine, however whenever I attempt to deploy it back to the machine or another test machine, it is extremely slow. It took 5 hours to get past the "Expanding Windows files..." section and another 2 hours to get past the rest afterwards. I never injected any drivers into the image and was just doing a bare bones copy for testing.

I have imaged with other software (Partimage is not Ghost, etc) and speeds were normal (about 30-40 min).

I am farely new to WDS imaging, but this is not practical if it takes so long to deploy. Our speed to our VM ESX host is 10 gig and speed to system is 1 gig. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
