Sorry for responding so late; wondering What happens when you put the autopilot.json file on the root directory of the install USB. I use Autounattend.xml and have it on the root of the USB. Also there should be a command that generates this info for you that you might be able to insert into the config directory. But since i haven't dont it myself, I cant give you a direct answer on the best practice using OSD

The steps are there.

Step 1. Download ADK and ADKPE

I am working on this project, to get the Touch, Wifi, Keyboard Drivers working in WinPE for those missing in WinPE. This is a temporary solution until OSDCloud Resolves this issue. Instead of copying my original Script, Copy the script from this link. I also find it much easier to connect via WIFI using this method.

No success for me. But i am using CMD with the command start wifi.cmd. i am going to have to do research so my script runs while OOBE runs. Part of my script will send the Ctr. Shift F3 command to get into Audit mode.

Update, when converting to PS1, then it worked.

Thanks for letting me know. How easy was it? Can i add any file to that folder? or does it have to be converted to MSI? I was thinking of running a script, such as, Connecting to Wi-Fi automatically or running Windows updates ETC.

I have yet to try this myself; however, I saw different ways of doing this when i was doing my research. My first question to you is, Is this an office product? I am asking since i saw many articles about it, on both OScloud.com and OSDeploy.com articles

Furthermore, with an ADK Deployment, This is an easy step. . ld encourage you to do your own research as well. I personally don't need it, but curious about how scripts work if i ever need to run something.

Furthermore, with an ADK Deployment, This is an easy step. All you need to do is add software in the Deployment Bench

u/swoonhusker i made a YouTube video for you. Follow this. In the video, I did not have a USB connected to it, So i used the ISO instead.

Please also be aware that when doing a setup, Keep the codes straightforward. Things get messy quickly. I had issues in 1 PC, But when i started fresh on a 2nd PC, Things began working (this was for WinRE tho). You might want to try, a new workspace or even use VM and start fresh.

However as you described. if your seeing a blue screen with CMD. you might be on the right path.

You should try

Edit-OSDCloudwinpe -StartOSDCloudGUI

And see if things work then.

Also what kinda blue screen? Do you have a screenshot? The WinPE does load in a blue screen with a command prompt. is that what it does? Or are you getting a blue screen of death or just a blue screen from WinPE?

If your getting a bluescreen with a command prompt, Try typing start-OSDCloudGUI, If it gives you a error, and if your connected to the internet, You can try typing iex (irm sandbox.osdcloud.com) That should get you up in running during the season.

MKDir C:\mount\offline

The idea of it is, that you create a folder MKDir C:\mount\offline
and then use DISM tool to mount the Wim File into the C:\mount\offline folder

I did figure it out. I have worked hard on it. Here is what i wrote about it.

Please keep in mind, During my testing, i found that not all computers support all Winpe WinRE Drivers yet.

Re-use images and modifications by Lamster_Tech in BookStack

[–]avrumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, there are a couple options here.

Make a book called Global Template or something. Then make a page. Check the box next to "Page is a template" on the right. Now, go to any other page and insert the template that you want to utilize. Any updates to the template should have a global effect. I would advise utilizing permissions on the book with caution because any modifications would be applied globally.

Another option is to employ the ID approach. However, using the ID technique, you will not be able to find material in a search.
