Managing Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 Dell Computers using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager Administrator’s Guide

Prerequisites to capture and deploy an operating system

• When capturing an operating system image by using capture media task sequence, ensure that the FODPacks folder is not present in the C drive. If there is any FODPacks folder, delete the folder.

• When you deploy an operating system image to the client by using a task sequence, the size of the wim file that is captured using the capture media and the size of the used space of drive C in the reference device put together must be less than the capacity of drive C.

  For example, if the size of the wim file that is captured from reference device is 8 GB, the size of the used space in the drive C is 17 GB. You can then deploy the wim file only if the capacity of operating system drive is greater than 25 GB.

  You must create cmd scripts execute-DEW-script.cmd and Task-sequence-dew-script.ps1 before you create a task sequence to deploy Windows reference image.

  1. Create a text file with name execute-DEW-script and copy the following content to the file:

     %Windir%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
     
     %Windir%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe  "C:\DEW_Temp\Task-sequence-dew-script.ps1"
     

  2. Save the text file in the SCCM Share DEW folder with name execute-DEW-script.cmd.
  3. Create a text file with name Task-sequence-dew-script and copy the following content to the file:

     #C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
     #Get GUID 
     $id = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Volume |Where-Object {$_.Name -like "C:\DEW\"} | Select-Object -property "DeviceID"
     #Set-Volume -UniqueId $test.DeviceID -NewFileSystemLabel DEW_VOLUME`
     
     #formatting DEW volume 
     Format-Volume -Path $id.DeviceID -FileSystem NTFS -Force -Full
     $service = "DEWSERVICE" 
     Set-Service -Name $service -StartupType Disabled
     New-Item -path 'C:\DEW\DEW_VOLUME' -ItemType Directory
     New-Item C:\DEW\DEW_VOLUME\DEW.txt
     Set-Content C:\DEW\DEW_VOLUME\DEW.txt 'DEW_PARTITION'
     

  4. Save the text file in the SCCM Share DEW folder with name Task-sequence-dew-script.ps1.
