MSMG ToolKit

I leave here my previous experience about that:

There are two values should be assigned simultaneously for the same "DODownloadMode" parameter, but in different registry paths:

1.1) as a setting option (doesn't work in LTSC)

Code:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeliveryOptimization\Config]

DODownloadMode = 0   [ Disabled ] Supported values: 0 , 1 , 3 

1.2) as a Group policy

Code:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeliveryOptimization]

DODownloadMode = 100 [ Bypass ] Supported values: 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 99 , 100 

FYI:
- Both parameters should / can be set, but for the LTSC only GPO will work.
- Both parameters are not existing by default.

The most interesting values are:

Code:

0   = HTTP only, no peering.
100 = Bypass mode. Do not use Delivery Optimization and use BITS instead.

 

• CloudExperienceHost

CloudExperienceHost is a System App.
Required for the first login and during the Security OOBE setup pass (Security screens and switchers).

In Windows 10 Enterprise, it's a component that helps you join the workplace environment or Azure AD using company provided credentials.
Once you enroll your device, your organization will be able to manage your PC and collect information about you (including your location).
It might add or remove apps or content, change settings, disable features, prevent you from removing your company account, or reset your PC.

CloudExperienceHost is a System App that really hard to remove PROPERLY (even in live OS).
See CloudExperienceHost - Short Guide

• AppResolverUX

If you plan to install Apps in offline mode (e.g. using PowerShell / install UHD drivers) that will be absolutely impossible without AppResolverUX.
To install Apps via PowerShell, you only need this one most important package.
The main purpose of this package is to retrieve data on installed applications.

FIY (other): AppResolverUX interface used to ask how you want to open things (e.g links from the Mail app or Cortana) similar to "OpenWith.exe" for regular applications.

• Remote Services, WMI - be careful with these.

Some parts are closely tied with main Windows functionality (Remote Services - with Network services or WMI - with Windows Instrumentary).
Better check twice these before removing.

Question:

Did you added your own (extra) components into the RemovePkgsList.txt (Dism) list ?
If so, can you publish it as a text, to take a look?

P.S. And thanks for the sharing your testing experience.

 

@MSMG, had already mentioned that he would make the changes, in this post:
But there are so many things to adjust that it must have gone unnoticed.

Right to the point. This is the configuration that I leave in the CustomToolkit.

Code:

           reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeliveryOptimization\Config" /v "DODownloadMode" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1
           reg add "HKLM\TK_NTUSER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeliveryOptimization" /v "DODownloadMode" /t REG_DWORD /d "100" /f >nul 2>&1
           reg add "HKLM\TK_DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeliveryOptimization" /v "DODownloadMode" /t REG_DWORD /d "100" /f >nul 2>&1
           reg add "HKLM\TK_SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeliveryOptimization" /v "DODownloadMode" /t REG_DWORD /d "100" /f >nul 2>&1

This contribution is very important. It was a very succinct summary.

 

Thanks, friend. I want to note, your changelogs have become much more concise too (and informative, as well) - fast and easy to read .

hi,
my thanks!

 

Hello our master for what I have observed you definitely abandoned the evolution of the toolkit for W8.1 systems at least is that what interests me in this way seems to be the same thing that M$FT is doing and forcing everyone to use some version of Windows 10 I will be wrong ? please wait for something thank you boss thanks

Then after that integrating .Net Framework 3.5 (NetFx35)

It's correct or not?
If not correct please, explain to us.

 

That would result in the re-offering of at least the LCU on WU when the image is installed.
