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
(Get-WsusServer -Name DC -PortNumber 8530).SearchUpdates('Feature update to Windows 10 (business editions), version 1809, en-us') | ForEach-Object {
Write-Verbose "Looking at update id $($_.Id.UpdateId) revision: $($_.Id.RevisionNumber)" -Verbose
$_.GetInstallableItems() | ForEach-Object {
$_.Files | ForEach-Object {
[PsCustomObject]@{
URI = $_.OriginUri.OriginalString
FileName = $_.OriginUri.Segments[-1]
}
}
}
} | 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

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'
Expand-WindowsImage -ImagePath $ImagePath -Index 1 -ApplyPath $ApplyPath
Export-WindowsImage -SourceImagePath $ImagePath -SourceIndex 2 -DestinationImagePath "$ApplyPath\Sources\Boot.wim" -DestinationName 'Microsoft Windows PE (x64)' -CompressionType max -CheckIntegrity
Export-WindowsImage -SourceImagePath $ImagePath -SourceIndex 3 -DestinationImagePath "$ApplyPath\Sources\Boot.wim" -DestinationName 'Microsoft Windows Setup (x64)' -CompressionType max -CheckIntegrity -Setbootable
Export-WindowsImage -SourceImagePath $ImagePath -SourceIndex 6 -DestinationImagePath "$ApplyPath\Sources\Install.wim" -DestinationName 'Windows 10 Enterprise' -CompressionType max -CheckIntegrity
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
Here's what the chatty DISM log says
Info DISM DISM Appx Provider: PID=5440 TID=6632 Processing 'packagename' option at index 2 - CAppxManager::ProcessCommandRemoveAllUserAppx

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