ADK: Use the OSDCloud Boot.wim

OSD 23.5.16.2+ Updated May 18, 2023

If you feel brave, you can update the Windows ADK with an OSDCloud Template. This will ensure that any MDT and CM Boot Images are automatically updated with an OSDCloud certified WinPE

Backup ADK amd64

First thing is first, make a backup of of your ADK WinPE amd64. I prefer to make a copy in place.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64

Delete Media Contents

Delete the contents of your Media directory

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\Media

Copy OSDCloud Template Media

Copy the contents of your OSDCloud Template Media to your ADK amd64 Media except the sources directory. You can also opt to leave out languages that you don't support

Media Cleanup

Optionally you can cleanup Language files in your Boot and EFI directories that you don't need

You can also delete about 25MB of fonts if you're not into supporting Asian languages too

Replace winpe.wim

Replace the ADK winpe.wim with your OSDCloud Template boot.wim
