new-CaptureImage
Creates a new capture image from an existing boot image. Capture images are boot images that start the Windows Deployment Services capture utility instead of starting Setup. When you boot a reference computer (that has been prepared with Sysprep) into a capture image, a wizard creates an install image of the reference computer and saves it as a Windows Image (.wim) file. You can also add the image to media (such as a CD, DVD, or USB drive), and then boot a computer from that media. After you create the install image, you can add the image to the server for PXE boot deployment. For more information, see Creating Images (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=115311).
