You can capture UEFI images, WIM images, and K-Images after you boot the device with the image that you want to capture in to the KACE Boot Environment (KBE). The KBE Main Menu loads on to the device when the device boots in to the KBE. You capture images from the device using the KBE Main Menu. You can verify that there is enough disk space on the appliance for the image and prepare the image for capture.
