1. Install the Windows Assessment and Deployment in the default location.
   • http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh825486.aspx
2. Copy the build-winpe directory content to a Windows machine. If it’s absent from your Razor server, use this archive.
3. Change into that directory, for example, c:\build.
4. Run this build script: powershell -executionpolicy bypass -noninteractive -file build-razor-winpe.ps1 -razorurl http://razor:8150/svc

cp /some/where/winpe*.wim win2012r2/razor-winpe.wim
