ImageX, MDT, create (full) media -- growing in size by Gigabytes (GB) on each capture

[HerbM]

We have created media in MDT only a few times and didn't notice at first, but it seems that our media is growing in size by large amounts on each capture.

 

We image a machine, sysprep, use ImageX to capture, import to MDT, create new media.

 

Last two iterations seem to have grown by 12 GB or so each; with no content change large enough to explain (did updates for last 3 months on one, and added hyperv on next.)

 

It's almost like it might be saving a copy of the PAGEFILE each time?

 

Any ideas?

 

Any way to cut it down?

SOLVED:

I was (incorrectly) leaving the older WIMs linked in the Operating Systems tab. (I thought this was protecting the actual WIM files rather than loading all WIMs into the image.)

Since I seldom made a FULL media image it did show up as an obvious issue.

Thanks.
