So I'm working through some of the challenges with imaging tablets that have no network port. I also have no dock with a network port. I decided to try building some media with MDT that has all the components I need. Problem is it's uEFI only which means I need a fat32 formatted USB stick. My image is over 4GB so it won't fit on the boot partition. I saw Michael Niehaus make a comment at the end of his uEFI blog post saying:
"There are a few solutions to that, some of which you might not immediately think of, such as partitioning the media into FAT32 for boot files and NTFS for everything else." Everything I've read along these lines suggests you need to have a USB stick that shows up as a fixed disk or this won't work. Back when he wrote that comment I don't think USB sticks like that even existed. Can anyone confirm that is a requirement? Another option seems to be using split WIM files. From what I've read they are not supported by Windows 8 setup though. MDT doesn't use setup any more, but I'm guessing it's still a limitation without tweaking the DISM logic. Even with the increase in tablets I'm not seeing a lot of information on the net that addresses these challenges. Tips?
