Drivers

You have a few methods to get Drivers in OSDCloud WinPE. The easiest method is to use a CloudDriver

CloudDriver

I spent some time automating the download, extraction, and injecting the drivers in WinPE. I call these CloudDrivers. For this parameter I recommend you use install everything with the following command line
Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -CloudDriver *
This will download and inject the following drivers
  • Dell Enterprise Driver Cab
  • HP WinPE 10 Driver Pack
  • Intel Ethernet Drivers
  • Lenovo Dock Drivers (Microsoft Catalog)
  • Nutanix
  • USB Dongles (Microsoft Catalog)
  • VMware (Microsoft Catalog)
  • WiFi (Intel Wireless Drivers) [Requires WinRE]
These are handled by mixing and matching the following values
Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -CloudDriver Dell,HP,IntelNet,LenovoDock,Nutanix,USB,VMware,WiFi
Here's an example using Dell, USB, and Intel WiFi
Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -CloudDriver Dell,USB,WiFi

DriverHWID

If you have a HardwareID, you can specify that with this parameter. This will download the appropriate driver from Microsoft Catalog and inject it into WinPE. Here's an example
Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -DriverHWID 'VID_045E&PID_0927','VID_0B95&PID_7720'

DriverPath

Finally, you can use a Driver Path to specify a folder containing driver INF's that you want to install
Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -DriverPath 'C:\SomePath'

Startup

You can configure your OSDCloud WinPE to startup a few different ways

Command Prompt

If you never run Edit-OSDCloudWinPE, then you will have a basic WinPE that doesn't have any Drivers or Wallpaper, and PowerShell won't open automatically
To get to OSDCloud at this point, simply open PowerShell and install the OSD Module (assuming your Network Adapter works with the In-Box Drivers)

PowerShell Prompt

Running Edit-OSDCloudWinPE without any additional parameters will enable the OSDCloud WinPE Startup sequence, which modify the WinPE Startnet. This enables WiFi (if using WinRE), updates the OSD PowerShell Module, and opens a PowerShell prompt. Additionally, the OSD PowerShell Module is saved to WinPE
Once the WinPE Startup sequence is complete, simply run Start-OSDCloud or Start-OSDCloudGUI. I prefer this startup as it allows flexibility

OSDCloudGUI

If you want to run OSDCloudGUI automatically when WinPE starts, use the following command
Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -StartOSDCloudGUI

OSDCloudGUI Brand

If you want to add a custom Brand to OSDCloud GUI, simply add the Brand parameter
Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -StartOSDCloudGUI -Brand 'SeguraOSD'
