Surface Deployment Accelerator (SDA) is a script-driven tool to create Windows images (WIM) for test or deployment that closely match the configuration of Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) images, minus certain preinstalled applications like Microsoft Office and the Surface UWP application.
Please use this GitHub Repos issue tracking capability to raise issues or feature requests.
This tool is run via executiong "CreateSurfaceWindowsImage.ps1" as an administrator, and requires access to a Windows ISO file to provide the image to manipulate. If driver or Windows updates are desired, internet access is required to download. The script uses the Windows deployment tools from the ADK, so if the latest ADK is not already installed, it will be downloaded and installed during script execution.
Example:
.\CreateSurfaceWindowsImage.ps1 -ISO "D:\18362.1.190318-1202.19h1_release_CLIENT_BUSINESS_VOL_x64FRE_en-us.iso" -DestinationFolder "D:\Temp" -Architecture x64 -Device SurfacePro7 -CreateUSB $True
The parameters that are available to the script are as follows:
-ISO: Path to a Windows ISO file to use as the imaging source. (required)
-DestinationFolder: The folder used to place the resulting image files once complete. (required)
-Architecture: The architecture of the image in -ISO, valid values are x64 or ARM64, x64 is the default. Note that ARM64 support is not complete in this build, please do not file bugs against this as of yet.
-DotNet35: Install .NET 3.5 in the image, True or False. True is the default.
-ServicingStack: Download/inject latest servicing stack update, True or False. True is the default.
-CumulativeUpdate: Download/inject latest cumulative update, True or False. True is the default.
-AdobeFlashUpdate: Include latest Adobe Flash Player Security update, True or False. True is the default.
-Device: Enter Surface device type to download and inject latest drivers for. Possible values: SurfacePro4, SurfacePro5, SurfacePro6, SurfacePro7, SurfaceLaptop, SurfaceLaptop2, SurfaceLaptop3, SurfaceBook, SurfaceBook2, SurfaceStudio, SurfaceStudio2, SurfaceGo, SurfaceGoLTE. If this parameter is not specified, SurfacePro7 is used.
-CreateUSB: Create bootable USB installation when finished, True or False. False is the default.
-CreateISO: Create bootable ISO file when finished, True or False. False is the default. This is useful for making imaging/scripting changes and testing quickly without needing USB keys and/or hardware to test.
-WindowsKitInstall: Enter target location of Windows ADK installation. If not specified, the path "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit" will be used.
-InstallWIM: Edit Install.wim file, True or False. True is default.
-BootWIM: Edit boot.wim, True or False. True is default. This can stop a boot.wim from being updated. If you're forcing it to use another boot.wim separate from one installed by ADK, you may want to set this to $false so the boot.wim isn't touched. If you choose $false, it’s expected you're going to use your own boot.wim. This will also cause -CreateUSBKey to be forced to False, regardless of value passed in.
-KeepOriginalWIM: Keep customized unsplit WIM even if resulting image size is greater than 4GB (images over 4GB are split into SWM by default), True or False. True is default.
-UseLocalDriverPath Use a local driver path and skip downloading the latest MSI for Device, True or False. False is default. If this parameter is set, you must also set LocalDriverPath to a valid path containing the extracted drivers you wish to inject, or this will fail.
-LocalDriverPath Filesystem (accessible to this PowerShell instance) path containing drivers to use. Only read if UseLocalDriverPath is set to True.
