Reply A+ A-

In this post I will show you the update of my tool ScreenMe that allows you to make screenshot under Windows PE and also on running OS. You can used it from MDT as well as from SCCM.
See the previous post, here.

What's new ?
Allows you to map a network drive to save the picture
All files are now integrated directly in the exe ScreenMe.exe 

How to get it ?

Prerequisites for PE
You will need to add the below feature in your boot image:
- Fix for WPF if you are using last ADK, check this post

How it works ?
The tool looks like as below:
1. If you are in PE, type F8
2. Go to the ScreenMe.exe path and run it
3. Click on the camera button to make a screenshot

4. Choose if you want to save the picture locally or on a network share

Save locally
1. Click on Local
2. Let the default path or type your own
3. If the file already exists, you will have to type a new name

4. Click on Copy
5. The tool will be minimized
6. Once the screenshot has been done the tool will be displayed again
7. The folder button in the title bar will allow you to display existing screenshots
- If explorer exists this will be displayed in explorer

2. Type the path of your network share (only folder without the file)

3. Type your credentials. User name should be like domain\user 

4. Click on Copy
5. If the file already exists, you will have to type a new name

6. The tool will be minimized
7. Once the screenshot has been done the tool will be displayed again
8. The folder button in the title bar will allow you to display existing screenshots
