Vista - ImageX Commandline Tool

Hello NG,

I'm searching the commandline tool
ImageX which is described here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/w.../aa905070.aspx

Where can I get this tool?
Does anybody know a download location?
Can't find this tool at microsoft :-(

btw: Having Windows Vista Business and
don't find the tool at my installation
or at the installation DVD

S

ImageX is an utility included with the deployment development kit, windows
automated installation kit and windows pe - its function is involved in the
preparation and creation of.mages" for deployment over a network. Its name
may be misleading in that it is not a "tool" for working with graphics or
picture images.

I know it's a tool to mount "file"-images
in a path or as a drive (like iso-images or
similar "images") But I don't find a download
location for this tool(s) of the deployment
development kit. Do you have an internet adress?

Stefan - There is still some confusion. ImageX is to mount "file" images. It
is part of Windows PE (included with Vista), WAIK and BDD2007 (Business
Desktop Deployment 2007) - "The Microsoft® Solution Accelerator for Business
Desktop Deployment (BDD) provides the guidance and tools required to
efficiently manage the deployment of Microsoft Windows Vista™ and the 2007
Microsoft Office system. BDD 2007 utilizes the robust deployment tools in
Microsoft Windows Vista, combined with real-world experience and guidance,
to create an end-to-end solution for migrating and deploying desktops. BDD
2007 Beta 2 is available on Microsoft Connect
(http://connect..microsoft.com) as an open beta to partners and customers
and enables acceleration and cost reduction associated with deployment
projects. The production release version of BDD 2007 will be available to
coincide with the release of Microsoft Windows Vista on the Microsoft
Download Center (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads).

Although you may connect to Microsoft Connect additional "qualifications"
may be necessary to download.

Yes, that are the right links and I found that
tools yesterday by myself... but thank you.

For those who are interested:
The tool imagex.exe is included in the Windows AIK
and works good for me.
