I'm wanting to give my users a boot stick so that they can boot their local computer and access their WVD on Azure from any computer. I'm thinking that a clean PE boot with Win10IoT will be a convenient approach.

I successfully created a WinPE USB boot but can't seem to get any persistence - I guess I have it set for RAM disk only so that probably wont work. Have to figure out how to get things like WiFi and User subscriptions to persist.

Any thoughts or comments on suitable approaches would be welcome. I'll keep plugging away, but the WinBuilder is an excellent tool

Hi rchibnik

Welcome to the forum

For other members to offer any advice, I think it would be benificial to know which of the various projects, you intend to use to create/build your PE

I am looking at Win10PE SE and Win10XPE

Are there other projects that might be more suitable?

Hi

Personally, I have no knowledge about MS Azure (apart from what I just Googled) and haven't seen it mentioned anywhere on this forum, but you never know around here, what someone has played with, in the background. Good Luck with your project.

it would appear that azure uses an "APP" rather then a program
so how are you getting it to load in WinPE
As the login information you are looking to persist while in PE has to be incorporated into the build
so either they are registry or file related - it is a natter of finding then and then including them
