    How to "Reapply tasks across editions" summarily?

    Okay, I think I now understood the exact question you're asking (got confused by the term "page"). And the answer is yes for my case. However, I can imagine others see that differently, so it would be cool to toggle between the two ways (per image vs. per category/page). If the results carry...

    How to "Reapply tasks across editions" summarily?

    Hi, frankly I don't know what the best course of action would be. It could be something like a separate tree (sub)node that affects all categories at once or it could be a context menu on the "Reapply tasks across editions" node, offering such options. But yes, it's about making the change...

    How to "Reapply tasks across editions" summarily?

    Hi, what I am trying to do is to cull certain features from the setup media, pre-configure certain relevant points and then create an image from that. I usually do that without removing any editions or only removing certain editions but leaving more than a single one in place. Is there a way...

    Why does NTLite insist on requiring an online activation seemingly every time I upgrade?

    I have NTLite installed inside a single VM which I use for Windows development mainly but also to build custom ISOs. Ever since I last purchased an upgrade (1/2021), I am being prompted to use online activation. What gives? (The saved/exported license file isn't accepted anymore?!)

    Unable to apply modifications with NTLite and create ISO for Windows 10 (1909)

    The problem with the sensitive data is that XML doesn't exactly lend itself to readability for humans ;) ... Will do. Any other files to include? Any way of tickling additional information out of Windows during the (failing) installation attempt?

    Unable to apply modifications with NTLite and create ISO for Windows 10 (1909)

    However, once I am trying to perform an installation with this ISO file, I am receiving an error 0x80070570. The error text is: How can I find out which of the files is missing? Also, is there a way to attach the Preset and the log file without actually including private (user name etc) or...

    Unable to apply modifications with NTLite and create ISO for Windows 10 (1909)

    Hi, I am using the disk labeled CPBA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9 from MSDN. This is the x64 disk with "consumer editions". After adding the "Image directory" from the "Image" tab (a simple copy of the DVD image contents in a writable location), I tell NTLite to load item number 10 (Windows 10 Pro N for...

    Is it possible to assign a product key per edition when creating an unattended ISO?

    That's amazing, because I haven't encountered this once on perhaps less than a dozen PCs, but definitely more than just three. While Windows (since 8, I think) happily installs without a license key, after installation it always required a key to activate for me. But, color me intrigued, I'm...

    Possible to compare my reference (state) against a live installation?

    Wow, don't take my response personally. I mean I get it: YMMV. And while one can argue about the CA system and centralized trust and all that stuff, code-signing surely adds to the overall safety, even if it's not a sufficient protection on its own. No offense meant.

    Is it possible to assign a product key per edition when creating an unattended ISO?

    As I wrote, I have a hard time believing that, because not every computer has had a Windows on it before. And to match some hardware IDs it would still have to have had a Windows license on it at some point, no? Besides, hardware IDs may be enough to match a key, but that may still not work if...

    Possible to compare my reference (state) against a live installation?

    Hi, this looks like an interesting tool indeed, going by the screenshots. Alas, no can do. This is a tool that isn't open source but isn't coming with a code-signed installer. Won't run on my system however good it may be. 2019 and no code-signing is a no go for anything that I can't build from...

    Is it possible to assign a product key per edition when creating an unattended ISO?

    I'm confused. But I still can only have a single autounattend.xml file ... even if I embed it in boot.wim the result will be the same, just a single one. Unless there is a way to coerce boot.wim into "branching" off per edition. I.e. have it boot into either setup scenario and have boot.wim...

    Move Unattended out of the customization process

    That's what I was writing, yes. But the GUI of NTLite isn't Microsoft's design. Therefore I wrote this up as a suggestion. It's confusing.

    Possible to compare my reference (state) against a live installation?

    Ugh, sounds tedious. Is that the only way? I currently have the problem already that I cannot limit the view to items that are set to non-standard values (i.e. have been customized by me).

    "Diagnostics and Troubleshooting" ... what does it encompass?

    Fair enough. So you mean to say since it appears as a separate item it won't be affected when choosing to remove "Diagnostics and Troubleshooting"? Alright then ... Thanks!
