PowerShell OSDBuilder module

Image Manager

Conclusions

Even if you have not previously looked into the subject of maintaining Windows images offline, you are likely to make the acquaintance of the PowerShell OSDBuilder module when confronted with this task. Not only is this module simple to install and easy to use, it also works smoothly and without any major differences between PowerShell versions 5 and 7. What we particularly liked is the way the module takes the user by the hand and guides them through the installation and upgrade processes. Moreover, because OSDBuilder logs all steps in great detail and makes it easy to automate offline image maintenance with the help of tasks, the process is very practical. Anyone who has Windows images they need to look after and maintain – and this is probably going to be the case in most IT organizations – will definitely want to take a look at this PowerShell module. Of course, it does not handle software distribution, but it does complement software distribution tools in a useful way.
