See the following example script. `` `This script was auto generated by the Microsoft DaRT Recovery Image Wizard.``###``This script uses the DISM and DaRT PowerShell commands to create a bootable DaRT image.``###Both a WIM and ISO file are produced.``###``### Examples of how to burn/copy the DaRT ISO to DVD/USB are available at the end of this script.``###` `$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop";``### This variable tells PowerShell to stop if an error occurs.` `###``### Import the modules necessary for DaRT Image creation.``###` `Import-Module "Dism"`I`mport-Module "Microsoft.Dart"` `###``### Specifies where the Windows 10 media is located and where the ISO and WIM files will be saved.``### These can be changed as necessary.``###` `$Win10MediaPath = "D:\";``### This is the path of the Windows 10 media.``$DestinationWimPath = "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\DaRT10\x64\boot.wim";``### Specify where the WIM file will be saved.``$DestinationIsoPath = "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\DaRT10\x64\DaRT10.iso";``### Specify where the ISO will be saved.` `###``### These variables are used to specify temporary and output directories based on the paths above.``###` `$WimParentPath = (Split-Path -Path "$destinationWimPath" -Parent);``### Specify the directory where the DaRT WIM file will be saved.``$IsoParentPath = (Split-Path -Path "$destinationIsoPath" -Parent);``### This is the directory where the DaRT ISO file will be saved.``$TempMountPath = "$env:temp\DaRT10Mount_$(Get-Random)";``### Specify the temporary directory used to mount the Windows image.` `###``### Prepare the windows image.``###` `### Guarantee the output directories exists.``New-Item -Path $WimParentPath -Type Directory -Force``New-Item -Path $IsoParentPath -Type Directory -Force``New-Item -Path $TempMountPath -Type Directory -Force` `### Create a copy of the WIM and remove the read-only attribute.``### The WIM file will be the resulting dart image.``Copy-Item "$Win10MediaPath\sources\boot.wim" $DestinationWimPath -Force``Set-ItemProperty $DestinationWimPath -Name IsReadOnly -Value $false` `### Mount the bootable image within the WIM file (normally index 2).``Mount-WindowsImage -ImagePath $DestinationWimPath -Path $TempMountPath -Index 2` `###``### Add additional drivers to the image.``###` `###``### Installs the specified driver(s) into the image.``###` `Add-WindowsDriver -Path $TempMountPath -Driver "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository``\xusb22.inf_amd64_89c20c625f14f923\xusb22.inf" -ForceUnsigned` `###``### Add additional drivers to the image.``###` `###``### Installs the specified WinPE package(s) into the image.``###` `Add-WindowsPackage -Path $TempMountPath -PackagePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-Scripting.cab"``Add-WindowsPackage -Path $TempMountPath -PackagePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-FMAPI.cab"``Add-WindowsPackage -Path $TempMountPath -PackagePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\en-us\WinPE-Scripting_en-us.cab"``Add-WindowsPackage -Path $TempMountPath -PackagePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\WinPE-HTA.cab"``Add-WindowsPackage -Path $TempMountPath -PackagePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs\en-us\WinPE-HTA_en-us.cab"` `###``### Add the DaRT tools to the image.``### The New-DartConfiguration cmdlet is used to specify how the DaRT image is configured.``### Modify this statement to configure how the DaRT tools will be applied to the image.``###` `$config = New-DartConfiguration -AddComputerManagement -AddCrashAnalyzer -AddDiskCommander -AddExplorer -AddFileRestore -AddFileSearch -AddHotfixUninstall -AddRegistryEditor -AddRemoteConnection -AddSfcScan -AddSolutionWizard -AddTcpConfig -RemoteMessage "Test welcome message" -RemotePort 3388 -ScratchSpace 512``$config | Set-DartImage -Path $TempMountPath` `###``### Perform any manual user-specific customizations here.``###` `# Read-Host -Prompt "Script is paused for any manual customization.
