[wds] There is not enough space on the disk

[quiet_andy]

It's been a while since I captured an image and the one I am currently trying to is taking a long time to run through and then comes up with an error "Uploading image to WDS server... There is not enough space on the disk".

 

Most of the info I have found states that there is not enough disk space, but my WDS server has over 500Gb free so I cannot see the issue.

 

Is there something I am missing or a check I can complete?

Could be a red herring, it could be a permission issue? That or it's trying to stage the image on the local HD and there isn't enough space?

I think I ran into this a long time ago when using the capture image in WDS. I worked around it by using DISM at the command line in WinPE or any setup WIM (press Shift-F10 to bring up a command line).

 

Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:L:\WinImg.wim /CaptureDir:W:\ /Name:"Windows"

Cheers, I'll give this a try tomorrow. Strangely I got the same error over the weekend but the image appeared on the WDS server, and it deploys find.

Bear in mind when you are creating/updating images it can use several GB of temporary space on the C drive.

When I capture an image it needs a local hard drive attached to put the image on and then it uploads to the server. I use a blank 320GB one, usually plenty for the wim file to go onto.

 

You could try capturing it locally then copying it to the WDS server - negating the need for uploading. Then point to the wim file in WDS?
