Add the ability to change the install media for scripted installs
It would be cool if I could change the install media out for my scripted installs w/o rebuilding each depolyment. When microsoft releases service packs ti would be handy to upload the new OS then replace the old version with the new.

Completed in version 5.0

MDT could do this from the start. Not having this feature requires wasted effort and time recreating scripted installs, performing kludges and harnessing lots of patience because we must do things "the long way."

Well, four years later....It is really not fun having to rebuild scripted installs because you cannot change the media.

So glad they started this. I have been waiting for this for years! Now I am really looking forward to the next release.

I really need this implementation : I work with 30+ scripts for which I have to upgrade a Win7 media source every month or so... that's a pain in the *ss to have to recreate a new script for each old one !

Will this also include WIMs?

Excellent ! Thank you!

How is this still under review? We have like 5 different scripted installs. It would benefit allot if we could update the source and then just switch it out on the scripted installs. Instead of rebuilding each scripted install from scratch.

Please - do it quickly. Nowadays the update process of windows 7 takes ages! I'd like to have a ability to slipstream updates to the source media.

I agree to both of the suggestions below - allow replacing both the install.wim-file or the iso.

Yes, Please add this feature, when we have many saved deployment options to account for the various job dunctions, it is difficult/time consuming to say the least to have to recreate them all rather than have the simple option of pointing to the new Media source.

Another thought would be if we could just update the .WMI file for the media. I currently keep a VM for each source, I take a snapshot of it prior to sysprep. Right now I simply restore the snapshot, update windows and anything else then create a new WMI. Then I have to recreate about 25 scripted installs. This process would be awesome if I could kill off the last step.

It should be great if we could change the source of a duplicate deployments script. In my case, just for changing the language.
