How to: Make a Windows 10 "1703 LTSB" ISO

No one said you aren't

 

It is OK.

I am trying to convert Windows 10 Server to Workstation. But I am after a way to configure Group Policy offline. Could you please instruct me?

Mainly for disabling ServerManager on the first log-in. (I am using it by installing and disabling it via Audit mode.)

 

Ok. I never did that, but if you download MSC 2012 you will find inside it a lot of reg files which are used by the program to "workstationize" the server, the program has the option to disable the SM autostart, so I think there is the related .reg file.

Another possible way is to disable the autostart from the server manager itself while keeping an eye on the registry with the process monitor

 

Just used the second way


DWORD (0 or 1)

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ServerManager\DoNotOpenServerManagerAtLogon

 

Nice! I may try to import the default User and change it. thanks a lot, mate.

 

Here is what I found in my Server-As-Workstation:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\{77DFA928-5F04-4CD6-9857-E1C7D2F40D9E}Machine\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Server\ServerManager]
"DoNotOpenAtLogon"=dword:00000001

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Server\ServerManager]
"DoNotOpenAtLogon"=dword:00000001

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Server\ServerManager]
"DoNotOpenAtLogon"=dword:00000001

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1444022504-2651945605-1131631074-1000\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\{77DFA928-5F04-4CD6-9857-E1C7D2F40D9E}Machine\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Server\ServerManager]
"DoNotOpenAtLogon"=dword:00000001

 

Dumb question #2

Is this version supposed to update? A couple of times I've restarted its done the installing something thing. If I windows key +R and type "winver" I get 10586.63 the .63 wasn't there a few days ago ...

Just wondering

 

@xniso

I think it should work


Back to the policies they should work as well, but given there is the plain option I would prefer to disable it rather than allowing it on normal settings and then forbidding it with the policies

 

The ghetto LTSB is still a PRO, unless you take some actions, manually or using tools like OO Shut UP or winaerotweaker, the updates are working just like on any PRO

 

how to use MSMG Toolkit 3.5 to delete all components but the windows defender?

 

that's so long!

 

Try change the script

 

how?

 

if i remove Windows components from Windows 10 Pro VL x86 then have this errors:

why?

 

Serach for defender and replace it defender-rename
Then it wont find the package and wont remove it

 

what about error?

 

I also have followed the guide of the OP leaving me without defender is there an easy way to install defender package with dism ?

Ps been searching for the package name without succes !

Update NVM did the procedure again and now removed components one by one left defender untouched

 

Duno ask MSMG

 

...Dont touch the script...will make mess!
