DISM image capture missing files after copy

We are having a strange problem taking an image from a VM to deploy on PCs. We have done it this way for a couple years without issue but this round seems to be acting odd. I boot into the VM with Windows PE, run DISM /image-capture etc, save the WIM, life is good. I can mount the wim on that same VM after booting back into windows and it shows all files there, good to go. When I copy the WIM to our WDS server to mount there and inject drivers etc, some system files are missing such as the wdboot.sys files in windows\system32\drivers\wd folder. The three files show there but are 0kb and cause the PC to blue screen on those files when burning to a PC.


At first it seemed like AV is at work but the logs on the AV server are not showing any files being deleted or quarantined. The other thought is that it is making a copy of a reference to the files like dedup but it is just a straight capture of c:\ on a fresh install.
