Here is the method to configure the Golden image (created from a Model PC) for execution of C:\oeminst\custom.cmd and C:\oeminst\oobecustom.cmd scripts after OS installation.

 

1- On Domain Manager, open a cmd prompt and go in Golden Image directory (where there is the .wim image file)

 

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\DSM\Server\SDBS\var\managedpc\images\<GOLDEN_image>\<golden_image>

 

2- Create a temp directory

mkdir c:\temp\mount

 

3- Execute this command 

 

DISM.exe /Mount-Wim /WimFile:newimage.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\temp\mount

 

Replace newimage.wim by the correct name file for OS image

If this error occurs :

Error: 0xc1420117
The directory could not be completely unmounted.  This is usually due to applications that still have files opened within the mount directory.  Close these files and unmount again to complete the unmount process.

Close the application using C:\TEMP\mount and try with :

DISM.exe /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\TEMP\mount /discard

 

7- Check that file D:\osim\managedpc\images\<GOLDEN_image>\<golden_image>\<image.wim> has been updated

8- Check if it is working fine with this updated Golden Image
