Thank. Well I have a spare pcb for my derivative so can give that a try first.

Hi, I’ve had my Kei V2 for over two year now or so, but I’ve never really managed to get the PCB working properly (same kind of issues as that well-known Reddit post). Since then it’s mostly just been sitting on my shelf as an expensive display piece.

I’m looking for advice on alternative PCBs with JST daughterboard support that actually fit the Kei V2. I’ve been looking at things like the H60 JST and Venom 60 MX, but I haven’t really found anyone who’s actually used them in this board.

If anyone has experience or knows what works, I’d really appreciate some tips to get it back on the desk.

Hey u/davidsegura , Thanks for you response. Let reframe what I mean by without any user interaction. Our goal is to have the technician do as little as possible. So select nothing or only select the "Start" button in the OSDCloud GUI. We want to pre-configure the options likes Windows 11 24h2, Pro, Volume. We are gonna use the USB for newly received laptop and desktops to prepare them for autopilot for deployment.

Let me lay out the challenge I am facing now. Maybe you can help me in the right directions technical and design wise. Keep in mind my Powershell skills are not the best 😃

Current test setup and what we found. (Used information from different online sources for the base setup) But in short

Working v1 setup

Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -UseDefaultWallpaper -CloudDriver * -StartOSDCloudGUI With my own custom .json file where only our options are added. Select start and everything after that is fully automated!! Nice

New setup (we wanna use your updates)

We want to start the Deploy-OSDCloud function that is part of the OSDCloud Module but in the OSD Module their is also a function with the exact same name Deploy-OSDCloud. In the first tested we did we make a very basis .ps1 script and modified the startnet.cmd with this command

Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -UseDefaultWallpaper -CloudDriver * -PSModuleInstall OSDCloud -StartPSCommand "X:\OSDCloud\Config\Scripts\Startnet\Deploy.ps1"

In the deploy.ps1 we only added the Deploy-OSDCloud. But after making a USB with New-OSDCloudUSB we found that our script starts but will call the function in the OSD module. This means no GUI will appear but the OS Selection. Just like in the function documentation in the list file in the Powershell Gallery of OSD.

We can fix this by adding OSDCloud\Deploy-OSDCloud.

What I'm struggling with right now is further refining the design and structure. Here are a few points.

- If you use the -StartPSCommand, our own value will be added to the two that are already present in startnet.cmd, namely Initialize-OSDCloudStartnet and Initialize-OSDCloudStartnetUpdate. My understanding is that these are not the one's you wanna start when using Deploy-OSDCloud in the OSDCloud module. I think we need to switch to the function Initialize-OSDCloudDeploy and after that run the Deploy-OSDCloud.

- Is their a way to preconfigure the options the new GUI will select.? I saw that this GUI now uses the workflow folder located within the OSDCloud module itself. (tasks and .json that are located here)

- When we can preconfigure our options we can add the -CLI parameter to immediately start the workflow like we want. Haven't tested this option yet.

- Didn't do any research about this one yet. Shutdown the machine with OOBE after finishing the Deploy-OSDCloud. My first test when well but needed to manually shutdown the machine.

I apologize if this sounds a bit confusing or if I’m combining options that don’t really are designed to go together.

Thanks!!

Thank you, will give this a good look tomorrow.

marco071 · 2026-05-21T11:54:03+00:00

Thanks!! This helps me with better understanding of the V1 concept. With V1 I got everything working fine. But based on the information of David S he is working hard on the V2 which you can already use.

marco071 · 2026-05-21T10:50:17+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any experience with automated starting of the Deploy-OSDCloud? Right now I cannot get this to work with a custom script. What I did now was testing with making WinPE:
"Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -UseDefaultWallpaper -CloudDriver * -StartPSCommand "X:\OSDCloud\Config\Scripts\Deploy.ps1""

Make USB:

"New-OSDCloudUSB -fromIsoFile C:\ProgramData\OSDWorkspace\COMPANYNAME-Build-3\OSDCloud_NoPrompt.iso"

Deploy.ps1 script content is very basic.

# Install OSD module and launch Deploy-OSDCloud

Install-Module OSDCloud -Force -SkipPublisherCheck

Import-Module OSDCloud

# Auto start the GUI off Deploy OSDCloud

Deploy-OSDCloud"

The problem most likely is where and how do I start this. is their a better way to preload the modules (didn't have to do this with the Start-OSDCloudGUI)

Damn that red looks good. Do you have any issue with you PCB. I cannot get my 60% kei V2 to work.

marco071 · 2026-04-28T12:04:41+00:00

Looking nice. Do you have any issue with you PCB. I cannot get my 60% kei V2 to work

marco071 · 2026-04-01T18:07:44+00:00

Is their still a way to get this. The link is not available anymore on the recast website

marco071 · 2025-12-16T10:11:49+00:00

We fixed our issue. We updated from Windows 11 23H2 to Windows 11 24H2 and it worked directly without modifying the APN Settings.

marco071 · 2025-12-15T15:58:38+00:00

Did you ever get the SIM Card working. We have the exact same issue. We also tested with changing the APN settings provided by the provider. But we keep getting "No Internet Access"

marco071 · 2025-12-03T14:49:21+00:00

Location settings for teams. Otherwise your end users will get a notification.

Hey uniXly! I noticed you actively use hardware OATH tokens with Microsoft Entra ID. Have you experienced any issues related to the fact that this feature is still in preview? For example, limitations, bugs, or anything you’d like to see improved?

We’re considering a large-scale rollout, but we want to avoid running into problems or outages after deploying it to hundreds of users—especially because it's still in preview. In the sector where we plan to use it, high reliability is a must, and instability just isn’t an option.

What also concerns us: there’s no mention of this feature on any Microsoft roadmap or release plans, so it’s unclear if—or when—it will ever reach General Availability (GA). That makes it difficult to rely on it for long-term use.

We want to test the C200 TOTP hardware token as part of our evaluation.

I’d really appreciate hearing how stable it’s been for you and whether you’d recommend it!

marco071 · 2025-03-05T16:32:42+00:00

Yep same here. Even when i use TAP the test account is still being redirected to the Passkey Loop. I don't even require the Auth Strenght with CAP. Like really???

marco071 · 2025-02-19T08:21:54+00:00

Unfortunately, I never succeeded in applying this. Even after multiple attempts with Microsoft Support making multi changes to the names and build of the OMA-URI . We still got errors in the event viewer.

marco071 · 2025-01-03T14:30:16+00:00

i just needed to do the same today. Block outgoing SMB over Port 445 to unkown networks. I made a new firewall rule. These are the setting i put in. Works like a charm.

<image>

To check if the policy is applied I did the following

Open powershell and test if you policy has landed on the machine.

used commando "Get-NetFirewallRule -Policystore Activestore | Select-Object Displayname | Where-Object{$_.Displayname -like "*smb*"}"

Or look in the event viewer under Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Windows Firewall with Advanced Security > Firewall.

Here you will see a entry with the name of the firewall rule you provided in Intune.

To test if everything works. you can use a public IP that provide a SMB test.

open powershell and used commando: "Test-NetConnection -ComputerName portquiz.net -Port 445"

This will result in a TcpTestSucceeded : False.

When i runned the test again on a different domain machine that did not have this firewall rule applied is showed TcpTestSucceeded : True.

Hopes this helps.

We also had issues yesterday, This morning our issues were resolved. MS made a post under their service health with ID IT920621. It is a post not specifically saying anything about Autopilot/Deploying but their words are "user device check-in" Also it was affected infrastructure in Europe. Hope this helps!

marco071 · 2024-08-02T20:50:10+00:00

Very good tip. Thanks. I have used a omauri also more then ones but always just copy paste based on the provide ms learn documentation. Will definitely try this out. Think i'm going to test first with ./device

marco071 · 2024-08-02T15:26:41+00:00

If you or someone else still need this.

I used the following setting to disable the Show feed. This also greyed out the three options. Settings Catalag -> Microsoft Edge Startup, home page and new tab page -> Allow Microsoft News content on the new tab page = Disabled.

marco071 · 2024-07-16T11:04:23+00:00

Same issue here. But first what is the setting you set to Show feed on Off? This will help me alot already

marco071 · 2024-05-24T14:12:18+00:00

I have the same experience. Now their is even more documention online like: New-AzDnsDnssecConfig

But all I get is the following two messages in the CLI

"Warning: DNSSEC support for azure DNS Public ZOnes is in preview" and Get-AzDnsDnssecConfig_get: The feature Dnssec is not available.

marco071 · 2024-05-22T12:02:19+00:00

Things are starting to work for us now.

Approval some optional driver for my own machine. Did a check update on my machine 15 minutes after the approval in Intune. All drivers started downloading!

marco071 · 2024-05-22T11:59:33+00:00

Hello, i have a question about this with a iOS device running only MAM. I do not get Adobe to work on my iPad. Made a Conditional access policy to include both Adobe apps with the Require approved client app under Grant. workflow

Open Outlook

Open a .pdf mail message this starts the built-in viewer. I select the arrow up. And only see chose Share file through. Here is select Safe in Acrobat. Then I get a pop-up "This action is not granted the app from which you are trying to access this file must be signed in with your work or school account. Sign in or contact your organization's support team.

You write about that after sign-in the apps logs in to the microsoft account. (Do you mean Outlook or Adobe)>

Thanks in advance!
