I also enable " Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet locations" in the local GPO.ġ.Don’t create reference images on a computer that is connected to the internet. Still, to avoid the image activating automatically while updating, I just use my own WSUS server rather than the ones work (I manage those as well), as it's just easier and I can just kick it off and let it churn overnight at home. The one and only good thing isn't even really a Windows 10 thing - since they switched to patch bundling, getting base image up to date is much, much faster than before.
Inject hotfix into wim sccm ntlite dism drivers#
We use SCCM, So the Capture part works pretty well at this point.īut yeah, every update I have to modify the WIM files to pull out the apps that have no business in an enterprise version of Windows, add drivers then do all the little tweaks we need for our environment. Fire back up WDS to try to PXE to capture? I cannot find a solution to wpeinit not working. Weeks of dealing with this crap and I can't even image a machine. God forbid I sysprep, applications forcing it to fail and having to clean those up.Īnd bitlocker? Not even enabled but I have to enable to disable, just to sysprep.īoot into WinPE, and of course SSD is so fast I miss my window. Then WDS is depreciated, in favor of AIK and MDT.
Let's not get me started on how Adobe and others force subscriptions for basic services, making things much harder to manage. So many things in Pro that are not covered in Group Policy. Seriously as a 21+ year IT guy I should not be this frustrated at an OS and it's deployment, but let the expletives fly.įirst, Windows 10, a major PITA.
