# New-OSDeployBootProfilePreview

Creates a persistent architecture-specific OSDeploy Boot profile without building media.

## Syntax

```powershell
New-OSDeployBootProfilePreview [-ProfileName] <String> [[-Languages] <String[]>]
    [[-SetAllIntl] <String>] [[-SetInputLocale] <String>] [[-SetTimeZone] <String>]
    [[-Options] <String[]>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
```

## Parameters

| Parameter         | Type       | Required | Description                                                                                    |
| ----------------- | ---------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-ProfileName`    | `String`   | Yes      | Base or canonical profile name. A base name receives the selected `-amd64` or `-arm64` suffix. |
| `-Languages`      | `String[]` | No       | ADK language identifiers to save; use `*` for all additional languages.                        |
| `-SetAllIntl`     | `String`   | No       | International-settings value to save.                                                          |
| `-SetInputLocale` | `String`   | No       | WinPE input locale to save.                                                                    |
| `-SetTimeZone`    | `String`   | No       | Timezone validated against `tzutil /l`; defaults to the current timezone.                      |
| `-Options`        | `String[]` | No       | `pwsh`, `dart`, or both.                                                                       |
| `-WhatIf`         | `Switch`   | No       | Show profile creation without displaying selectors or writing files.                           |
| `-Confirm`        | `Switch`   | No       | Confirm the profile creation operation.                                                        |

## Example

```powershell
New-OSDeployBootProfilePreview -ProfileName 'Contoso' -Options 'pwsh'
```

The command prompts for cached WinRE, derives the architecture, selects shared content, and writes portable paths to `osdeployboot.json`. It returns no pipeline object. Use `Build-OSDeployBoot -ProfileName` to build the profile.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://www.osdeploy.com/command-reference/osdeploy/new-osdeploybootprofilepreview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
