[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Enterprise (N) LTSB 2016

ResetBase is disabled by default for all Windows 10

you need to run standard dism cleanup twice

Code:

Dism /Image:%WKDIR%\WIN /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Dism /Image:%WKDIR%\WIN /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

P.S.
manual cleanup that W10UI perform:

Spoiler

Code:

takeown /f "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\WinSxS\ManifestCache\*.bin" /A 2>nul
icacls "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\WinSxS\ManifestCache\*.bin" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F 2>nul
del /f /q "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\WinSxS\ManifestCache\*.bin" 2>nul
takeown /f "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingDeletes\*" /A 2>nul
icacls "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingDeletes\*" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F 2>nul
del /f /q "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingDeletes\*" 2>nul
takeown /f "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\TransformerRollbackData\*" /R /A 2>nul
icacls "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\TransformerRollbackData\*" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F /T 2>nul
del /s /f /q "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\TransformerRollbackData\*" 2>nul
del /f /q "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\inf\*.log" 2>nul
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %# in ('dir /b /ad "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\CbsTemp\" 2^>nul') do rmdir /s /q "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\CbsTemp\%#\" 2>nul
del /s /f /q "%WKDIR%\WIN\Windows\CbsTemp\*" 2>nul

 

I am using dism v10.0.22000.1 in Windows 11 (22000.348) and running Cleanup-Image twice does not seem to be necessary. The size of install.wim is as follows:

5,069,004,682 bytes - single Cleanup-Image line as shown below:

Code:

Dism /Image:%WKDIR%\WIN /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

5,068,537,288 bytes - two Cleanup-Image lines as shown below:

Code:

Dism /Image:%WKDIR%\WIN /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Dism /Image:%WKDIR%\WIN /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

So the difference is negligible. In the end, what really matters here is that your code is much more efficient than standard dism code.

 

Is there anywhere I can still download this? The links in the first post aren't working.

 

What language and architecture, n or non n?

Easiest is to provide full MVS ISO filename.

Hello ,
Is there a way to migrate a valid LTSB installed OS to LTSC ?
Thank in advance for your help.

 

i was able to do an in-place upgrade to ltsc 2019, then another upgrade to 2021. everything went smoothly and works fine. trying to upgrade from 2016 to 2021 directly didn't work

 

@abbodi1406 necessary with dism++ ? For full resetbase ?

Like edit registry and code bellow ?

 

I have just installed LTSB 2016 on two year old hardware and tried the activation tool listed in Enthousiast's signature (see post #1126 above). Version 2.0 with /forcekms38 switch did not work, but v1.3.1 with /forcekms38 worked ok. When run without that switch both versions of the tool tried to connect to the internet (attempting hwid activation, I guess), which in this case was not possible because the ethernet driver is missing for now and I have wifi deliberately disabled in the bios. Running slmgr /xpr command shows expiry date as 1/18/2038.

According to Readme.md included with v1.3.1 the script is compatible with Windows build 10240 and above but it seems that those older builds are not supported any more with v2.0.

 

Unfortunately,I thought so
Thanks you

 

Probably not, but i never used that feature of dism++

 

I recently installed LTSB 2016 for my dad on a very old desktop. I used massgravel's KMS38. I never tried HWID digital activation. Based on what I see, even though Winactivate has a switch for kms38, its default seems to be HWID digital activation of LTSC 2021 IoT

 

HWID is the default, -forcekms38 is the switch to force it to use kms38.

 

Even I edited LTSB2016 according to their requests, updated and I am extremely satisfied with this system. I had Win11, LTSC2021, but I returned to reliable Windows. What I needed to install, so I installed.

I only used Windows 10 the first time when the 2019 LTSC became available. So I don't know about what downloads beyond en-us x64 are still available.

If you would like the x86 pt version, maybe LTSC 2019, and certainly 2021 would still have downloads available

 

@AeonX

all are available as SVF patch

 

Added both, i noticed there are a lot more Enterprise (N) 2016 LTSB ISOs missing, i am pretty sure all were uploaded in the past
