Hi Tom,

I have it quite near the top of my to-do list to provide an update for
Windows Server 2016. In the mean time...

The main difference is in the steps used to put the backup-archive client
code in the bootable ISO image, given that verbatim instructions we
currently have work only with the pre-spinstall packages. Another change
(improvement) is in the command used to create the ISO image, which can be
used for both BIOS and UEFI based systems. You no longer need to build one
image for UEFI and another for BIOS.

The steps for restore are the same as for earlier versions of Windows.

Preparation: Install and use the latest ADK from Microsoft. As I write
this, the latest version is for Windows 10, version 1703. Go to
https://www.microsoft.com and search on "windows assessment and deployment
kit" (without the quotes). Once you have that in place, proceed with the
step 1.

1. Extract the 8.1 backup-archive client package. For example, if you get
the package from our download site, you can extract it to directory
C:\download with this command:

   8.1.0.0-TIV-TSMBAC-WinX64.exe -oC:\download

The root of the install image is TSMClient, so that directory structure
will be created in C:\download.

2. In the ADK Deployment command prompt, issue:

   copype amd64 C:\WinPE_x64

3. Run this command to copy the client image to the WinPE media directory:

   robocopy C:\download\TSMClient C:\WinPE_x64\media /e

4. cd into C:\WinPE_x64\media

5. Run this command:

   dsmc-pe-x64 set

6. (optional) Clean up unneeded files:

   del *.ini *.mst *.msi *.htm *.exe *.spd *.cmd

   rd /s /q common64 commonappdata ibmspjvm issetupprerequisites system64
win windows

7. Run this command to build the WinPE bootable ISO image:

   MakeWinPEMedia /ISO C:\WinPE_x64 C:\WinPE_x64.iso

Best regards,

Andy
