IF you are still having problems making a USB flash drive bootable, don’t 
forget the Rufus tool :):

Ah, I initially tried that but I did not have success. Seems like it should 
work though so I will try again.

 

Thanks!

You want a Lite touch bootable ISO, you’ve probably already built one and dont 
realize it.

Step 4-1: Create the LTI Bootable Media

You need to provide a method for starting the computer with the customized 
version of Windows PE you created when you updated the deployment share. The 
Deployment Workbench creates the LiteTouchPE_x64.iso and LiteTouchPE_x64.wim 
files (for 64-bit target computers) or LiteTouchPE_x86.iso and 
LiteTouchPE_x86.wim files (for 32-bit target computers) in the 
deployment_share\Boot folder (where deployment_share is the network shared 
folder used as the deployment share). Create the appropriate LTI bootable media 
from one of these images.

To create the LTI bootable media

1.      In Windows Explorer, go to C:\DeploymentShare$\Boot.
2.      Based on the type of computer used for the reference computer 
(WDG-REF-01), perform one of the following tasks:

*       If the reference computer is a physical computer, create a physical CD 
or DVD of the LiteTouchPE_x64.iso or LiteTouchPE_x86.iso file.
*       If the reference computer is a VM, start the VM directly from the 
LiteTouchPE_x64.iso or LiteTouchPE_x86.iso file or from a CD or DVD of the 
International Standard Organization (ISO) files.

Subject: [MDT-OSD] MDT Litetouch offline media

 

Hi all,

 

Disclaimer: I am a bit of an MDT newbie.

 

I would like to make a bootable USB of litetouch that would be used to connect 
to our MDT share and deploy an OS just like it does through PXE. When using the 
Advanced Configuration > Media method in MDT, it looks like it takes my 
existing MDT share and puts it all on an ISO which makes the ISO quite large 
since I have custom OS's and applications. What I would like to do is have a 
bootable USB that is essentially the same thing as my Lite Touch Windows PE 
(x64) used through PXE and doesnt require a copy of my existing MDT share. 

 

Any suggestions?
