Install Image
The initial install of Windows 7, 64-bit is on n244test in CSIT N244. The installation local user account is "CECSIT".
Update Server
From the cmd (commandline) run ANU_SUS_Update.reg to update the Windows Registry to use the ANU's local Update site.
Image Creation
Once the image is ready, reboot into the default Linux image. Then log in as root (eg. remotely) and create a compressed image of /dev/sda2:
# dd if=/dev/sda2 | bzip2 -c > /scratch/...
On a Dell Optiplex GX980, with 4GB RAM, the 134GB /dev/sda2, with 33.5GB in use, took 1295 minutes (over 21.5 hours) to compress this way.
