Universal WinPE

OSDCloud Template contains a Universal WinPE that can be used with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and Configuration Manager

If you were to boot the OSDCloud Template, you will see it looks virtually identical to the ADK WinPE

• Microsoft DaRT is added to WinPE from C:\Program Files\Microsoft DaRT\v10\Toolsx64.cab

  • WinPE winpeshl.ini is removed
