"Modern" also means simplified, that's why I will give you an example on how to setup Windows 10 with just the original source (ISO) and a few scripts… Like in the "old" days, where unattended setup was the standard way to setup an OS.
If you want to see mOSD (modern OSD) in action, just do:
- download the original Windows 10 ISO (MSDN or VL Portal)
- extract the ISO to your disk (or mount the ISO and copy the content to a writable Directory)
- download mOSD.exe from https://github.com/rzander/mOSD/releases/latest and copy it into the extracted ISO folder.
- run mOSD.exe to extract the content from the file.
- rename autounattend_[your language].xml to autounattend.xml.
- update Autopilot Profile Create Autopilot Profile According to https://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/offline-windows-autopilot-deployment-profile/ and Update in "sources$OEM$$$\provisioning\Autopilot"
- [OPTIONAL] Run rzTools\Split-WIM.cmd to split install.wim into two files with less than 4GB (Support FAT32 USB)
- start rzTools\CreateISO.cmd as admin to create a new c:\W10.iso
- use rzTools\rufus.exe to create a bootable USB stick from the c:\W10.iso
- boot W10.ISO or the created USB Stick...
Note: The system will automatically poweroff at the end of the setup before OOBE is starting.
Because it's:
- super fast (Win10, Office356, 7-Zip, AdobeReader, Chrome, VSCode … in less than 15min on a VM)
- independent
- loads all files from a local media (USB) and/or internet
- does not require any Servers -> great for Desaster-Recovery scenarios
- independent of the OS Build, and Language
- Out of the box
- useful to reproduce Issues from Corp. Images (without any GPO's etc.)
- performance benchmarks (compare an OutOfBox W10 vs your corporate W10)
- Easy to create
- just follow the Quick Start guide.
- fully unattended
- An end user will be able to rebuild a client.
