If your boot images weren’t updated during the site upgrade to SP1, you can manually update them using the following instructions. Clifton Hughes shared this information in his blog post.

This post provides all the details on what to do if ConfigMgr (SCCM) boot images do not update after an upgrade.

Fix? ConfigMgr SCCM Boot Images not Getting Updated After Upgrade

1. Rename the boot.wim and the default boot wims in each architecture folder of theOSD\boot\ folder – both the i386 and x64 to.bak

2. Starting with the i386 folder first…Find the install folder of the ADK, which should be here if you installed with the defaults: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows

3. Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\x86\en-us\winpe.wim”. You will need to copy the winpe.wim to the OSD\boot\i386 folder. Rename it to boot. wim.

4. You will also need to copy it again, but this time rename it so it matches the name of the default boot wim for the site – so it should look like boot.<packageid>.wim

Update the Default Boot Image
Click “Execute Method” -> input object path as SMS_BootImagePackage.PackageID=”” -> UpdateDefaultImage

6. You will also need to do this for the x64 folder. Do not do this for any custom boot images – this is just to update the default boot wims installed during the site’s setup.
