TEAM-Deploy - A crude Windows deployment tool

TEAM-Deploy is a simple tool to replace the Windows Setup written entirely in Batch. It's designed for rapid deployment of Windows in environments such as repair shops.

💾 Setup

To start using TEAM-Deploy clone or download the repository and populate the Images folder with your WIM or ESD files, the Answerfiles folder with your Answerfiles, Associationfiles folder with your Associationfiles and the Packages folder with your Siloed provisioning packages.

Note that no path should contain spaces, that includes the path to the repository itself aswell as the names of the image files, answerfiles, associationfiles, and provisioning package files.

Not all versions of DISM support applying Siloed provisioning packages. If you want to use provisioning packages you should use the latest version of DISM from the Windows ADK and set the adkLocation option in the TEAM-Deploy.cfg file to the location of the ADK installation.

📋 Usage

Execute TEAM-Deploy.cmd with administrative privileges and use the menu to select the disk, image, answerfile, association file and provisioning package to be used. The script will then format the disk, write the partition table, copy the image to the disk and apply the answerfile, association file and provisioning package. Finally it will create the bootloader.

Partitioning, image deployment, answerfile deployment, association file deployment, provisioning package deployment, and bootloader creation can all be disabled independently by entering an X in the corresponding selection menus.

📝 Configuration

The TEAM-Deploy.cfg file contains the configuration for TEAM-Deploy. Some of those settings are default selections and can be changed at runtime, others such as the size of the various partitions are fixed and can only be changed in the configuration file. The following options are available:
