Using KBEM, adding PowerShell results in non-booting KBE, that's smaller than without Powershell
I'm using the KBE Media Manipulator (KBEM), v. 4.0.0.1, to create a KACE Boot Environment (KBE) from a recently downloaded-from-Microsoft Creators Edition of Windows 10 Enterprise. If I leave all the KBEM settings at their default (except for what has to change - name, IP address, Samba share) and create the KBE, the result is a KBE that boots and works, and which has a size in the Source Media window (K2000 / Library / Source Media) of 351.3 MB.
However, if I go into the menus (Configure / Modify KBE Tools...) and select to "Add Powershell" (which autoselects "Add .net 4"), and change nothing else (except to add a " w/ Powershell" to the name), and create the KBE, the result is a KBE of size 264.5 MB (smaller than without Powershell), which fails to boot. It gets to a command window and runs "wpeinit", and then just stops at the command prompt (X:\Windows\System32\>"). At this point I can run command-line commands, but the boot process has stopped. There also is nothing except a "Modules" directory in the \Windows\System32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0 directory.
What's up?
Thanks!

We have been using a KBE created with the Manipulator and is working fine!, And I just realized that the file size is 265MB, less than any other KBEs.
We use it for Bitlocker stuff and is working fine, but I wonder why the filesize is less than normal KBEs... - Channeler 7 years ago
