You cannot deploy an image of a dynamic disk by using Automated Deployment Services (ADS) 1.0 in Windows Server 2003

When you try to deploy an image of a dynamic disk by using Microsoft Automated Deployment Services (ADS) 1.0 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer, the task may fail, and you may receive the following message:

This issue occurs if you convert the disk type to dynamic disk before you capture the image.

To resolve this issue, make sure that the disk is a basic disk type before you deploy the image. To do this, follow these steps:

1.	Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.
2.	Under Storage, click Disk Management.
3.	In the right pane, make sure that the disk type is Basic.

The Imgbmdeploy.exe tool supports only images that are based on a basic disk and are not based on a dynamic disk.
