Include the specific drivers for the hardware being deployed Use the Windows 10 vanilla media (Media Creation tool or Volume License portal) These are the criteria that I use when creating an Autopilot base image So we still need an image for autopilot but the image needs to be ultra lightweight. Keyboard drivers for exotic devices (looking at you Surface Book!)īiometric compatible camera drivers for Windows Hello for Business Examples of the kinds of drivers that you need include

There are some excellent solutions, including Maurice Daly’s Driver Automation Tool but you will find that some drivers are needed early in the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) setup.

You could run a driver update during or post build. The Microsoft build media from either the media creation tool or the Volume Licensing portal lack a lot of the required drivers. It takes a surprisingly long time for drivers for relatively mainstream hardware to be included with the default WIM/ESD. A series of Quality updates fixed a number of issues and if you did not have the Quality updates on the device during OOBE then your enrolment was going to fail.

They are usually a much older Feature Release than desired and are full of software crud that you do not want to provide to end users.Īutopilot on Windand 2004 is fairly stable but we had a torrid time with 1903. The following problems need to be overcome.Ī lot of the OEM factory images are awful. However, after a few big deployments, it became clear to me that Enterprise Autopilot deployment is not completely image free. I also loved the freedom from highly customized (and usually broken) corporate images. I love deploying new devices from a collection of policies, apps and scripts managed by the cloud. Windows 10 Autopilot is my favorite cloud technology. In the modern era we can enroll a device into corporate management straight from the factory image.

Windows 10 Autopilot was designed to replace and simplify the traditional imaging methods by doing away with the image completely. It was clear that a new approach was required. The image deployment system collapsed due to the effort required to maintain a complex image that needs to change frequently rather than every three years. Overnight we had to work in a world where there was a major update to Windows every six months. But, when the Creators Update (1703) appeared, the flaws in the old methods quickly became apparent. The Anniversary Update (1607) was treated like a service pack and just got tacked onto the existing build.

In place upgrades or automated re-imaging for deploymentĪ lot of the Windows 10 upgrade projects ground to a crashing halt when the first Feature Updates for Windows 10 appeared. Heavy customization and security lock-down to the Nth degreeĭeployment using the same old-style Config Manager OSD task sequences that were used for Windows 7 When Windows 10 first arrived, many deployment shops treated Windows 10 deployment like they treated Windows 7. Heavy customization of the image and/or task sequences used for Windows deployment was common place. Huge amounts of time and effort were spent on building Windows 7 deployments. The Enterprise grade Windows build was born in this era. Suddenly a huge range of tools to customize deployments were available to Windows build shops. The next big leap forward was the advent of SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) and MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit) deployments of Windows XP and Windows 7. Golden Image creation was simplified and the deployment of images to new devices was much more reliable. SysPrep cleaned up the Operating System prior to taking an image, including forcing the generation of a new Machine SID.

The Microsoft SysPrep utility was available in Windows NT but was not commonly used until Windows 2000 appeared. Golden images were high maintenance and in the early days you had to manually change the Machine SID of every device you deployed. Ghost and other imaging technologies like Alteris were a huge step forward in the Windows NT era because you could reliably deploy a golden image to multiple computers. The first efforts at imaging Windows were XCopy batch files that copied a pre-setup version of Windows 3.1 from a network location. A History Lessonįirst, a brief history lesson on Windows imaging. In this post I will explain why a good base image is still required and how you can create your own base image from Windows 10 media. Autopilot deployment has reduced but not completely eliminated the need for an organisation specific base image.

In the traditional Windows deployment world we used to worry about images a lot.
