wimcapture pipable direct to wimapply
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2018 3:03 am
Hi There,
I'm trying to capture a live system with a pipable image going to stout,then apply from stin which in turn writes to a disk. I thought this would be cool as you could clone a live system to an arbitrary sized disk.

Below is the output:
And there it sits indefinitely. Is what I'm trying to do possible? Is my command incorrect?
Thanks
