Windows 10 base and UEFI boot images (for ZENworks imaging only) and projects.ini files created prior to the release of Imaging Toolkit 10.0.3.
Issue
With the release of Windows 10, Microsoft have stopped providing useful identifiers such as a service pack number and are pursuing a more aggressive update strategy than previously. This means that the only reliable way of identifying the "version" of Windows 10 in use is the build number.
This TID shows how the build number can be added to the Windows 10 base and UEFI images in order to more readily identify them and also to allow testing of new builds without overwriting a previous image.
| NOTE: |
Imaging Toolkit 10.0.3 and later will automatically propose image names which include the build number which may require changes to your existing projects.ini or image names depending on your preferred naming convention. |
|
Solution
Update projects.ini
For all Windows 10 projects in your projects.ini file modify both the base_image and efi_boot_image (if using ZENworks imaging) entries to include the appropriate build number after the platform identifier.
| NOTE: |
Only Windows 10 projects require modification. |
|
For example, change
[Windows 10 Professional VL (x64) - en-US]
Description = Windows 10 Professional VL (x64) - en-US
project_image_path = win10
project_os = win10-pro-x64
partition_count = 1
partition1_size = 60000
driver_os = win10-x64
base_image = win10-pro-x64-postsp
ztoolkit = ztoolkit
efi_boot_image = win10-pro-x64-uefi-boot
to
[Windows 10 Professional VL (x64) - en-US]
Description = Windows 10 Professional VL (x64) - en-US
project_image_path = win10
project_os = win10-pro-x64
partition_count = 1
partition1_size = 60000
driver_os = win10-x64
base_image = win10-pro-x64-10586-postsp
ztoolkit = ztoolkit
efi_boot_image = win10-pro-x64-10586-uefi-boot
Rename existing images
For each version of Windows 10 in your images/os folder rename the base image and uefi boot image to include the appropriate build number.
| NOTE: |
Do not rename the folders or images for any OS other than Windows 10 |
|
For example, rename
win10-pro-x64-postsp.<zmg|wim>
win10-pro-x64-uefi-boot.zmg
to
win10-pro-x64-14295-postsp.<zmg|wim>
win10-pro-x64-14295-uefi-boot.zmg
