The Systems Management Server 2003 Operating System Deployment Feature Pack does not support using third-party tools to capture Windows Imaging Format files to use in deployment

The Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Operating System Deployment (OSD) Feature Pack uses the Image Capture Wizard to capture Microsoft Windows Imaging Format (WIM) files to use in deployment. Third-party tools can capture WIM files without using the OSD Image Capture Wizard. However, the SMS 2003 OSD feature pack does not support using third-party tools to capture WIM files to use in deployment.

ImageX can capture WIM files. ImageX is available in the Microsoft Windows Vista Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).

Windows System Image Manager and the associated tools in the WAIK can perform image maintenance on an image that has been captured by using the Image Capture Wizard.
