Windows 10 from ESD
Get the Download URL from WSUS
I can see the ESD Upgrade in WSUS teasing me . . .
So a search in WSUS gets me the link to download the ESD
Here's the link
And here's the script that gets me the link
1
(Get-WsusServer -Name DC -PortNumber 8530).SearchUpdates('Feature update to Windows 10 (business editions), version 1809, en-us') | ForEach-Object {
2
Write-Verbose "Looking at update id $($_.Id.UpdateId) revision: $($_.Id.RevisionNumber)" -Verbose
3
$_.GetInstallableItems() | ForEach-Object {
4
$_.Files | ForEach-Object {
5
[PsCustomObject]@{
6
URI = $_.OriginUri.OriginalString
7
FileName = $_.OriginUri.Segments[-1]
8
}
9
}
10
}
11
} | Select-Object URI

Download the ESD
So I then download the ESD to C:\Temp and get some quick information on the ESD in PowerShell. Looks like all the ISO files and the Boot Wims are part of the ESD . . . great. I have everything I need to rebuild the full media

$ImagePath = 'C:\Temp\17763.1.180914-1434.rs5_release_clientbusiness_vol_x64fre_en-us_d29ef094928a77496cdf53d072b5023eddea7281.esd'

Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath $ImagePath
Copied!
and I get some good info . . .

Extracting and Exporting the ESD
A quick PowerShell script to do all the work. Its important for me to place the contents in C:\x64

$ImagePath = 'C:\Temp\17763.1.180914-1434.rs5_release_clientbusiness_vol_x64fre_en-us_d29ef094928a77496cdf53d072b5023eddea7281.esd'

$ApplyPath = 'C:\x64'

OSBuilder Import-OSMedia
Because OSBuilder looks on all Drives for this path . . . and I can easily import the OS
Known Issue
I do have problems removing Provisioned Appx Packages when using the ESD as the source, even running from an 1809 system, so you have been warned!
No mistakes on my part
And even DISM is a NO GO

Came across this link, so maybe because I used an ESD . . . anyone else?
Removing Windows 10 Built In Apps from a Windows 10 Image
Server Fault
Final Steps
So I guess I'll just create an ISO and build a Virtual Machine and see if OSBuilder works from there. Enjoy!
