Not just an Universal MediaCreationTool wrapper script with ingenious support for business editions,
|
|
<img src="preview.png">
|
|
A powerful yet simple windows 10 / 11 deployment automation tool as well!
|
|
*If you had no success launching the script so far, this latest version will work*
|
|
|
|
Presets
|
|
-------
|
|
1 ***Auto Upgrade*** with detected media, script assists setupprep for upgrading directly
|
|
> _- can keep files and apps on more scenarios where os and target edition does not match_
|
|
> _- can switch detected edition by adding EditionID to script name_
|
|
> _- can troubleshoot upgrade failing by adding `no_update` to script name_
|
|
> _- auto defaults to 11, so pass version as well for 10: `auto 21H2 MediaCreationTool.bat`_
|
|
|
|
2 ***Auto ISO*** with detected media in current folder directly _(or C:\ESD if run from zip)_
|
|
> _- can override detected media by adding edition name / language / arch to script name_
|
|
> _- example: `21H1 Education en-US x86 iso MediaCreationTool.bat`_
|
|
|
|
3 ***Auto USB*** with detected media in specified usb target
|
|
> _- for data safety, this is not fully automated - must select the usb drive manually in GUI_
|
|
|
|
4 ***Select*** with user picked Edition, Language, Arch (x86,x64,both) - on specified target
|
|
> _- implicit choice, includes setup override files (disable by adding `def` to script name)_
|
|
|
|
5 ***MCT Defaults*** runs unassisted, creating media without script modification
|
|
> _- no added files, script passes `products.xml` to MCT and quits without touching media_
|
|
|
|
1-4 presets will modify created media in the following ways:
|
|
> _- write `auto.cmd` to run on demand for auto upgrade with edition switch and skip tpm_
|
|
> _- write `$ISO$` folder content (if it exists) at the root of the media_
|
|
> _if you previously used $OEM$ content, must now place it in `$ISO$\sources\$OEM$\`_
|
|
> _- write `sources\PID.txt` to preselect edition at media boot or within windows (if configured)_
|
|
> _- write `sources\EI.cfg` to prevent product key prompt on Windows 11 consumer media (11 only)_
|
|
> _- write `AutoUnattend.xml` in boot.wim to enable local account on Windows 11 Home (11 only)_
|
|
> _- patch `winsetup.dll` in boot.wim to remove windows 11 setup checks when booting from media (11 only)_
|
|
> _- can disable by adding `def` to script name for a default, untouched MCT media_
|
|

|
Simple deployment
|
|
-----------------
|
|
**auto.cmd** is behind ***Auto Upgrade*** preset via GUI
|
|
Can run it fully unnatended by renaming script with `auto MediaCreationTool.bat`
|
|
Makes it easy to upgrade keeping files and apps when the OS edition does not match the media
|
|
Should allow upgrade from Ultimate, PosReady, Embedded, LTSC or Enterprise Eval as well
|
|
|
|
Generated script is added to the created media so you can run it again at any time
|
|
It is fairly generic - it will detect available editions in install.esd, pick a suitable index,
|
|
then set EditionID in the registry to match; can even force another edition, keeping files and apps!
|
|
On 11, it will try to skip setup checks (can disable this behavior with script var)
|
|
Finally, it sets recommended setup options with least amount of issues on upgrades
|
|
|
|
> Let's say the current OS is Enterprise LTSC 2019, and you use the business media to upgrade:
|
|
> **auto.cmd** selects Enterprise index and adjust EditionID to Enterprise in the registry (backed up as EditionID_undo)
|
|
> Maybe you also want to switch edition,
|
|
> ex. by renaming the script to `ProfessionalWorkstation MediaCreationTool.bat`:
|
|
> **auto.cmd** selects Professional index and sets EditionID to ProfessionalWorkstation in the registry.
|
|
>
|
|
> Let's say the OS is Windows 7 Ultimate or PosReady, and you use the consumer media to upgrade:
|
|
> **auto.cmd** selects Professional index, and sets EditionID to Professional or Enterprise, respectively.
|
|
> In all cases, the script tries to pick an existing index, else a compatible one to keep files and apps on upgrade.
|
|
>
|
|
> Let's say you have a dozen PCs spread with versions: 7, 8.1, 10 and editions: Ultimate, Home, Enterprise LTSB..
|
|
> If you need to upgrade all to the latest 10 version and only use Pro, you could rename the script as:
|
|
> `auto 21H2 Pro MediaCreationTool.bat`
|
|
>
|
|
> Can even add a VL / MAK / retail product key in the same way to take care of licensing differences.
|
|
> The script also picks up any `$ISO$` folder in the current location - for $OEM$ branding, configuration, tweaks etc.

_No need to right-click Run as Admin, script will ask itself. Directly saving the Raw files no longer breaks line endings_
|
|
_We did it! We broke [the previous gist](https://git.io/MediaCreationTool.bat)_ ;) So this is the new home. **Thank you all!**
