Answered Set WIM index name through MDT

    Hi guys,

    I'm just trying to understand where MDT sets the image name in the WIM files it creates during capture?

    I'm not talking about the WIM file name,  but the actual 'NAME' flax in the index (I've highlighted below).

    I've done many many captures with different deployment shares etc and I cant seem to see where it is getting this value from.  Basically I want to have a set name as I am automating my deployment with some Powerscripts and I want to make it a bit more stable.

    OK so I found the point where it sets the index name.

    For anyone else looking to find it or modify it check the ZTIBackup.wsf around line 427:

    ' Build the command
    
    If oFSO.FileExists(sBackupPath) then
    						
    sCmd = " /append " & oDrive.Path & " """ & sBackupPath & """ """ & sPrefix & Left(oDrive.Path, 1) & "Drive"""
    							
    Else
    						
    sCmd = " /capture /compress maximum " & oDrive.Path & " """ & sBackupPath & """ """ & sPrefix & Left(oDrive.Path, 1) & "Drive"""
    							
    End if

    The part that contains the sPrefix part.
