Veeam KB2685 and reagentc /setreimage command question

[gordom]

Hello.
I have a problem with Windows Recovery Media. I follow a Veeam KB2685 article to fix it. At Part 3 (Recovery Image Handling) there is a scenario 3 (Replace the Recovery Image on the OS Volume). I stuck at point 4 of this scenario (Enable the Recovery image using REAgentC:)
The

Code: Select all

reagentc /setreimage /path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows

code returns an error:

Code: Select all

The specified path was not found.

Although I've read Microsoft Docs mentioned in KB2685 regarding REAgentC.exe tool and its /setreimage command, I can not figure out how to use /path argument. Could someone explain to me, what does

Code: Select all

/path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE

argument in the above piece of code stand for and where does it point to? Is this the path to the recovery partition on the system drive (the one that is located after a system partition)? Any help will be appreciated. Regards
Dominik

Hi Dominik

In step 1g, you will assign drive letter R:\ to the existing recovery partition on your machine.
In step 7, you check if the folder Recovery\WindowsRE does exist. If not, you need to create the folder
In step 8, you will enable the recovery image. The path variable will point to the existing recovery partition mounted as drive R.

Did you have created the folder WindowsRE? Does the path exists if you browse it with windows explorer?

Best,
Fabian

Thank you, Fabian, for your message.
What I did is, I skipped every procedure mentioned in Scenarios 1 & 2 and went directly to Scenario 3. I thought these scenarios should be considered independently. Reading your answer, it seems to me, I wasn't correct.
