[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Enterprise (N) LTSC 2019

Okay! It's finished and it's done! Probably, it was a problem with location folder for some reason. Anyways, thanks a lot (x2 since it's late too) for your effort and help!
P.S. Now I install the windows as I should with the normal edition right ?

 

YW

And Yes, it actually is a normal edition

 

Ok, I asked cause LTSB has it

 

I did post about it a few days ago.
What happens is that the syntax is probably incorrect, while GodHand says he can't reproduce it.
The "}" is only valid in the first part of the powershell command, not in the second.
So, to correct this error you actually delete the last "}" on both lines and then the command will complete correctly.

That's not the only problem, I have to change "*LTSC" into "*LTSC*" for the script to work correctly.
And set line 1465 to "0" because if not, safely remove USB drive message is not being displayed (also effects other system messages)

Until now I've been able to make the above mentioned modifications and it floats my boat.

Cheers.

 

Interestingly there still are remnants (even after purging the partially existing base files) there is still a 'Start' entry you cant uninstall/disable the easy way . Only inconvenience i found so far and didn't check further.

 

Thanks!!
Your suggestion to delete the last "}" cleared the errors and allowed the code to complete! I saw your earlier post, but I didn't realize that you'd found a solution to the powershell problem.

The variable $ImageName that gets compared to "*LTSC" is "Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC" so I'm not sure why you have to add the additional wildcard to LTSC, but hey, whatever works!

I know this is the correct value for $ImageName when your source is LTSB 2019 because I add its "metadata" along with a few other variables to the output folder name. This make it easier for me to keep track of different optimized images while I'm doing tests.
The change I make to line 385 in Optimize-Offline-3.1.2.6

Code:

$SaveDir = [System.IO.Directory]::CreateDirectory((Join-Path -Path $ScriptRoot -ChildPath Optimize-Offline"-[$($ScriptVersion)]-[$($ImageBuild)]-[$($ImageName)]-[$((Get-Date).ToString('yy.MM.dd hh.mm.ss'))]"))

Makes, for example, an output folder named "Optimize-Offline-[3.1.2.6]-[17763]-[Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC]-[18.11.06 10.10.27]"

I'm not sure which version of Optimize-Offline you're referring to where you're setting line 1465 to "0"?

 

Yes, on each new (first time) user logon!

 

Just installed LTSC 2019
I got few questions,Please answer these,Don't ignore <kitten gif>
1-During installation,i got 2 choices,they were LTSC 2019 and LTSC [N] 2019,what is meaning of 'N' and what's the difference b/w two?
2-How do you guys update?by normally going to Setting>Update & Security>Check for updates? or some sort of manually downloading from 3rd party sites?
I did it through 'Check for updates' in settings,it said like ~200MB in size but it took around 500MB of my internet data, some update also failed couple of times,and one of them still failing. Is this normal?
[BTW it was my very first time updating windows in the past 8yrs of using my PC lol]
3-Task manager is showing incorrect usage of CPU and Memory, any fix for it?
4-If you have/recommend any tweaks/tricks, please do share.
My Current Build is 17763.55
Thank you

 

Can somebody tell me how do I update my cumulative update to the latest version? Using LTSC btw

 

1. how many years do N versions now exist? It lacks all media features.
2. normal WU, more info about the details please
3. Do you read the info, posted here and on the official 1809 announcement blog?
4. Almost every thread/post on MDL, lately, is about tweaks (fixes never are provided by non MSFT people).

 

You use a very specific windows edition but don't know how to integrate updates by dism?

 

No sorry. I used Windows Update before so I was fine, but it decided to not detect the latest one.

 

Code:

Dism /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:x:\packages\KB4465477_SSU.cab /PackagePath:x:\packages\kb4464455_CU.cab

This is a cmd for a specific integration order, SSU first, CU last. If the SSU is already installed, no need to re-install.

 

Here is what I get :

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>Dism /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:x:\packages\KB4465477_SSU.cab /PackagePath:x:\packages\kb4464455_CU.cab

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Where is that package supposed to be? Am I doing something wrong?

 

I have installed Windows 10 Enterprise S Eval, Version 1809 from this iso 17763.1.180914-1434.rs5_release_CLIENT_LTSC_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso and I can't activate it.
Microsoft Toolkit: Cannot Activate because this product is incapable of KMS Activation.
KMS VL ALL: No Windows Volume License Product Detected
Any solution?

 

You have to modify the paths to your situation...

 

At every EVAL post is or should be a line "CANNOT be KMS activated". You need to reinstall the non EVAL edition.

 

Sorry to bother but what you're saying is that I download kb4464455_CU.cab and specifying it's path?

 

Yes, but if the SSU is not already installed, download that cab too, you can use UUP(DL) for downloading both at once.

 

Windows update failing is entirely normal. Even after 20 years Microsoft just can't get it right. Even on a completely fresh install I get errors and corruption.
