+ <p>This page describes how to create a Windows base image.These instructions should work regardless of the provisioning engine being used (xCAT, VMware, etc.). Ignore the VMware Only sections if you are attempting to create an image using xCAT or some other bare metal provisioning engine.</p>
+<h3 id="requirements">Requirements</h3>
+<p>You will need the following:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Windows installation ISO file</li>
+<li>Windows product key or KMS server address</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The following must be done before an image can be captured:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>A computer for the machine being captured has already been added to the VCL database</li>
+<li>VMware Only:<ul>
+<li>A VM host computer on which the guest is running as been added to the VCL database</li>
+<li>The guest VM has been assigned to the VM host via the Virtual Hosts link on the VCL website</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>These instructions assume you have root access and are using a bash shell.</p>

+<p><strong>Create a Virtual Machine</strong></p>
+<p><strong>VMware ESXi 4.x</strong></p>
+<p>The instructions assume that VMware has been configured with the following bridged networks:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Private: bridged to private interface: eth0</li>
