# Create PE Media
|
|
|
|
`Create-PEMedia.ps1` is a standalone helper script that creates WinPE capture or deployment ISO files outside the main build flow.
|
|
|
|
This is useful when admins need to quickly generate a deploy ISO for a share (or local staging folder) that technicians will use with `USBImagingToolCreator.ps1`.
|
|
|
|
## Common use case
|
|
|
|
If your staging location does not already have a deployment ISO, run `Create-PEMedia.ps1` to generate one, then copy that ISO to the staging folder used by your technicians.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Run from an elevated PowerShell session.
|
|
- Windows ADK + WinPE add-on must be installed (default path: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\`).
|
|
- Script should be run from the `FFUDevelopment` folder (or provide explicit paths via parameters).
|
|
|
|
## Quick start (deploy ISO)
|
|
|
|
From `FFUDevelopment`, this creates a deploy ISO by default:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\Create-PEMedia.ps1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Default output file:
|
|
|
|
- `.\WinPE_FFU_Deploy_x64.iso`
|
|
|
|
## Useful commands
|
|
|
|
Create deploy ISO for x64:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\Create-PEMedia.ps1 -Deploy $true -WindowsArch 'x64'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create deploy ISO for ARM64:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\Create-PEMedia.ps1 -Deploy $true -WindowsArch 'arm64' -DeployISO "$PSScriptRoot\WinPE_FFU_Deploy_arm64.iso"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create capture ISO only:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\Create-PEMedia.ps1 -Capture $true -Deploy $false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create deploy ISO and include PE drivers from `.\PEDrivers`:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\Create-PEMedia.ps1 -Deploy $true -CopyPEDrivers $true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Stage output for USB imaging
|
|
|
|
After creating the deploy ISO, place it in the same staging root used for USB media creation.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
\\Server\FFUStaging\
|
|
WinPE_FFU_Deploy_x64.iso
|
|
FFU\
|
|
<image files>.ffu
|
|
Drivers\
|
|
<optional driver content>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then technicians can run:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\USBImagingToolCreator.ps1 -DeployISOPath "\\Server\FFUStaging\WinPE_FFU_Deploy_x64.iso" -DisableAutoPlay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Logging
|
|
|
|
`Create-PEMedia.ps1` writes log output to:
|
|
|
|
- `.\Create-PEMedia.log` (or custom path via `-LogFile`)
