step 1: copy windows product dvd source files network share.

 

step 2: create master installation.

 

step 3: capture image of installation.

 

1.       boot master computer using bootable windows pe media.

 

2.       at command prompt, capture image of installation. can use imagex command-line utility this

 

imagex /compress <type> /capture c:\image_directory d:\imaging\data.wim "new_image_file"

 

for more details, please refer "windows preinstallation environment (windows pe) user's guide" document included in windows aik.

    

3.       replace default install.wim on network share custom image. image must called install.wim.
