offline media

[EdwardKK1964]

Building offline media from my PSD share builds out offline MDT media - all the script are VBS.

is there a way to build a PS deployment for Offline Media?

It looks like the Unattend.xml that is incorporated into the offline media references the old wsf scripts that the module replaces. That seems to be the problem.

Unattend.xml included in media for online deployment generated by updating deployment share :

Any updates on this and building offline media?

[PowerShellCrack]

Not that I am aware of. MDT used file shares and local path which works fine for offline media where PSD is designed for HTTPS deployments. This is practically impossible to do with a media, unless you're hosting some sort of mini web service within the media, like nodejs or something.

Offline media is currently not supported, but we are looking into that!
