Res.RWM file stopped automatically "ingesting/groveling" recently added WIM files

we run wds on server 2008, , looking @ picture below of directory of captured wim images, wim files dated 10/16/2010 , older have been “ingested/groveled” res.rwm file.  note how wims added after date still entire large wim file.  is there way manually tell wds ingest these other wim files save storage space?

it’s possible date wim files stopped getting ingested automatically, coincided inability have winpe capture client able automatically copy wim file wds server part of capture process.   all of wim files dated in 2011 have had copied wds server manually , placed in \remoteinstall\images\windows7 folder.  i think receive access denied error when attempting have winpe capture client copy wim file server.  so manually copy images folder afterwards.  it available winpe deploy client fine.  it taking space , resolve issue before run out of hard drive space.  thank in advance help!    

hi,

 

have moved remoteinstall folder hard drive or remotely? however, can try use wdsutil command line utility uninitialize wds server. make folder reinitialize wds server.

 

example:

wdsutil /uninitialize-server

wdsutil /initialize-server /reminst:\\server\remoteinstall

 

for more information wdsutil, please refer link below.

when finish above, try add image again see whether res.rwm restored single instanced.
