Options	3. Select one of the following options based on your requirements: · Optimize the boot image updating process. This option configures the Update Deployment Share Wizard to update existing versions of the image files. Select this option when you want to reduce the amount of time required to update the boot images. Typically, this process takes less time than the Completely regenerate the boot images option. You can optionally select the Compress the boot image contents to recover space used by removed or modified content check box to reduce the size of the boot images. Over time, the process of adding and removing content (such as drivers, components, and packages) can increase the size of the Windows PE image. Selecting this option reduces the image size to the minimum for the current content. However, it may also increase the time required to generate the images. · Completely regenerate the boot images. This option configures the Update Deployment Share Wizard to create a new version of all the image files. Select this option when you want to force the creation of new images. This process can take longer than the Optimize the boot image updating process option. By default, the Optimize the boot image updating process option is selected and the Compress the boot image contents to recover space used by removed or modified content check box is cleared. 4.

The Deployment Workbench starts updating the deployment share and creates the LiteTouchPE_x86.iso and LiteTouchPE_x86.wim files (for 32-bit target computers) or LiteTouchPE_x64.iso and LiteTouchPE_x64.wim files (for 64-bit target computers) in the deployment_share\Boot folder (where deployment_share is the network shared folder used as the deployment share) based on the configuration settings on the Windows PE x86 Settings and Windows PE x64 Settings tabs.

Note Optionally, create a bootable device, such as a UFD or USB hard disk, from the ISO file so that you can start the target computer from the device as described in Create Bootable Devices from MDT Boot Images.
