Three is a new applet that Microsoft is forcing on users in one of the recent SSU/CUs called "Azure Arc". It is a Windows Optional Feature, but unfortunately it is coming from a SSU/CU KB/MSU being added, so when working with the Server 2022 21H2 LTSC RTM image , even-if it was a optional...

Thank you for adding that; I had the problem earlier this year where I burned a hundred hours troubleshooting PANTHER. I think I finally agreed not to adjust UAC during the OEM setup cmd. Finally, to set the desired resulting setting of UAC that does not interfere with OEM Setup process, I have...

Not really an NTLite question, but OOBE Question: Apparently if one customizes a Win10Pro image, and the target hardware happens to have an embedded OEM key, then the OOBE system will disable SetupCompelted.cmd ? But maybe there is some creative way to work-around this? This is like a product...

All: On v1607 (Server 2016 to Win10EntIOT/LTSB), has as anyone successfully integrated the DotNet4.8 Feature Pack [kb4486129] and it's latest Service Pack [kb5020873] at the same time ? In my experience, it will succeed during NTLite apply, but the CU/SP will roll-back failed during OOBE...

Idea/Question: A way to automatically trigger a clean/trim/erase operation of the Temporary Directory, Scratch directory, and Extracted Updates Cache before Apply.

On older v1809 builds with CAB based langpacks, I was able to cross-apply the Langpack to the Setup (Boot.wim) image. However, my first experience on 21H2, with AppX langpacks, under Apply, if I check [Integrate - MSIX/APPx - Boot.wim (Windows Setup)] , it doesn't appear in the "pending task"...

Interesting message when I perform a simple DotNet3.5 addition/integration (Cab File Method) into a virgin Win10 Ent IOT LTSC 2021 image (Direct download from MicrosoftOEM.com) So the question is: Is it possible that the RTM images from Microsoft have pending DISM changes that require the first...

Can we set the "Password Never Expires" flag on users created during Unattended stage?

Quick access (integrated, without a manual registry) to the following setting would be helpful (It is a DISA-STIG requirement): Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\ Value Name: InactivityTimeoutSecs Value Type: REG_DWORD...

It seems that sometime in last 18 months, that the preset XML syntax changed. Within <drivers>, drivers are now just itemized as <file> [pathTo.inf] </file> Instead of : <drivers> <adddrivers> <driver> [pathTo.inf] .... *) The two syntaxes do not appear to be allowed to co-exist in...

All: I had some internal requests to further customize explorer defaults. For now I do it with PowerShell. However, It would be nice to expose them all in a future version of NTLite. Low hanging fruit / low priority. Happy near years all! ~BAS...

Is there not a graceful mechanism (disable optional feature, etc.) to remove mstsc.{exe,dll}? (Pragmatically, I suppose Application Whitelisting is the best approach here.) Thanks ~BAS

Hi all! I want to ask the collective brain trust about a KB/DISM error causing a roll-back on first boot. I have some difficulty with KB5004752 ( the August 2021 DotNet4.8 Cumulative Update) on WinServer 2016 (v1607) It installs/merges fine during NTLite build process. However, during...

It would be great if we could include the latest "best practices" registry patch to schannel for Cipher Suites from Nartac IISCrypto https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/42873...

All: I've been chasing down some vulnerabilities found by Nessus scans of my NTLite resultant image. Nessus Plugins 139598 & 138464 keep firing, complaining that the version of "system.web.dll" in [C:\windows\microsoft.net\platform\v2.xxx\] is not patched, and the remediation recommendation...

Has anyone else had difficulty integrating KB5005394 (or the equivalent for non-1809 builds?) This is: KB5005394 July 27, 2021—KB5005394 (OS Build 17763.2091) Out-of-band ---- NOTE: This is the final hotfix for PrintNightmare Even if I just run with KB5004422 (Latest SSU for 1809) and...

Hi all. I'm trying to integrate FTDI v2.12.28 (direct from FTDIChip.com). It fails during integration of both the main image, and the WinRE image, with error 0x80070002. Exact same files work fine on a system built w/o the integration, but installed manually. Moreover, FTDIPort.inf/cat loads...

It would be nice to automatically build a crypto checksum for ISO files; encouraging best practices on redistribution for security conscious environments.

Kaylx_ as promised: NT Lite Version [v2.0.0.7797] If I run my builds as a single-pass, integrating all of my drivers (Sound, Input, Video, etc.) unnecessarily into Boot.wim, I observe a growth of my Boot.wim from 382mb to 2,780mb (almost a 10x) It gets to be so big, that older computers with...

All: Happy Tuesday. I'm customizing Dell's PowerEdge Win Server 2016 Image. Upon unattended installation, after first boot, the image spends a significant duration of time at "Getting Devices Ready". 10 minutes+ Then another 10 minutes after second reboot , before proceeding to...
