Recovery

Windows 10 allows you to create a simple Recovery Drive to USB without much effort. This uses WinRE, but you can't easily add Drivers and other content using this method

New-PEBuildTask

You need to start by creating a New-PEBuildTask. WinRE.wim will be automatically used for this Task. To create Recovery Media, use the following PowerShell command:

New-PEBuildTask -TaskName "Win10 x64 1809" -AutoExtraFiles -ScratchSpace 256

When complete, a Task JSON file will be created which can be used with New-PEBuild

Task JSON

{    "TaskName":  "Recovery Win10 x64 1809",    "TaskVersion":  "18.10.15.0",    "TaskType":  "PEBuild",    "AutoExtraFiles":  "True",    "DeploymentShare":  "",    "MediaName":  "Win10 Ent x64 1809 17763.1",    "PEOutput":  "Recovery",    "ScratchSpace":  "256",    "SourceWim":  "WinRE",    "WinPEAddADK":  null,    "WinPEAddDaRT":  "",    "WinPEAddWindowsDriver":  null,    "WinPEInvokeScript":  null,    "WinPERobocopyExtraFiles":  null}
