19.1.9 (January 9, 2019)

This is not an "update the Module and keep rolling" release. Follow these steps, in this order:

  2. Install-Module -Name OSBuilder -Scope CurrentUser -Force

  3. Close all PowerShell sessions

  4. Launch PowerShell ISE as Admin

  5. Get-OSMedia (this may take a while on first run)

  6. Rename-OSMedia

  7. Repair-OSBuildTask

  8. Repair-PEBuildTask

  9. Enjoy

OSMGuid

This is an abbreviation for OSMedia Guid. This is generated by Import-OSMedia for new Media, and Get-OSMedia for existing OSMedia. This allows OSMedia to be renamed, as Builds will no longer be tied to a Directory Name

OSMFamily

I need a method for ensuring that Operating Systems were kept in an OSMedia Family for Updating. This is a combination of the CreatedTime and EditionId which is gathered from an Install.wim using Get-WindowsImage

Full Name Format

Previous versions of OSBuilder would abbreviate the OSMedia Directory Name of the Operating System and use the Directory Name for matching updates of the same OSMedia. Since OSBuilder has moved to a Family and Guid format for keeping track of OSMedia, there are no issues with renaming any OSMedia directory. Use Rename-OSMedia first before doing any Task modification if you feel the need to rename, but keep in mind, going forward every OSMedia or OSBuild going forward will be with the Full Name format, so rename now.

Tasks

Tasks have been updated to contain more detailed information about the OSMedia that is used for the task. This change requires an update to all existing OSBuild and PEBuild Tasks. You can easily see the additional OSMedia information contained in the Task with the update

19.1.2 (January 2, 2019)

Several functions were renamed or changed, it is important that you review the changes for each of them before using in custom Scripts

  • ​Get-OSMedia****

    • New function to return all OSMedia as a PowerShell Custom Object

  • ****Get-OSBUpdate****

    • Rename of Get-OSBuilderUpdates
