How to add custom autounattend.xml / additional files / folders #91

Closed igpit closed 2 years ago

igpit commented 2 years ago

Hello,

thx for a great script so far. We used to create ISO media and place a custom autounattend.xml and additional folders in the root directory, for extra update files, post-config, ... How could that be done with the existing script?

I know you pick up $OEM$ but where would/could the pre-configured autounattend.xml go inside that to be picked up during windows setup?

I know you are reluctant to pick up additional folders, but like $OEM$ you could have/define a folder / entry point like "ADD_TO_ISO_ROOT" , if you see that folder, add everything inside to the root ISO/USB.

Or is there a better way to go about adding things to the medium?

Regards ;)

I might add an option for custom folder.

Note that for 11 there is already an autounattend.xml added to bypass Home online account, but it's not added to the root directory because that would break normal setup within windows. Instead, it's added to boot.wim. Guess I could extend it to work on 10 as well, and add an option to pickup an already made one next to the script.

sounds great! you still planning to do it? just wondering cause issue got closed and no new code release... regards ;)

AveYo commented 2 years ago

Yeah, I'm still planning on. Will reopen the issue and ask for further input if needed when I get to it. Plate full atm.

igpit commented 2 years ago

thanks for reopening, looking forward to this ;)

currently we have a custom autounattend.xml and in there use

<RunSynchronousCommand> and <SynchronousCommand>

referencing other files supplied on the install medium doing stuff.

Yes, hopefully later today will update the script. Will pick up a $ISO$ folder next to the script, and add it's content to root of created media. So the $OEM$ folder should now be placed in $ISO$\sources\$OEM$ instead. Script generated files (AutoUnattend.xml, auto.cmd, EI.cfg, PID.txt) will not override any that you have placed in $ISO$ folder. What do you think?
