With Windows 10 1607 there is a new feature called SharedPC. SharedPC is applying to Windows 10 Pro, Pro Education, Education, and Enterprise.
It is not possible to deploy settings to create a SharedPC with a GPO – so there for we need another solution. With use of the Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD) tool from Windows ADK https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/windows-assessment-deployment-kit we can create a Custom Windows Image.
Does this means “Build and Capture” a image is gone – the answer both yes and no – In some cases the one makes more sense then the other. In this case a Custom Windows Image created by the ICD tool makes sense.
What is Shared PC mode:
A Windows 10 PC in shared PC mode is designed to be management- and maintenance-free with high reliability. In shared PC mode, only one user can be signed in at a time. When the PC is locked, the currently signed in user can always be signed out at the lock screen. Users who sign-in are signed in as standard users, not admin users.
Start the Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD)
Click on “Windows Image Customization”
Give your new project a name: “Windows 10 EDU EN SharedPC (1607)”
Click Next
Click Next
Click Browse and point to the original install.wim file
Click Next
Click Finish
Change view to : All Settings
Search for “SharedPC”
Select EnableSharedPCMode
Select True
If you what other settings in your custom Windows image – then create them now
Then it is time to create your Production media
Click Create
Select Production media
Click Next
Click Next
Note: If you plan to deploy this image to devices with a small OS disk then select yes in the “Enable Compact OS”
Click Next
Select “Save to a folder”
Click Next
Click Browse and point to a pre created folder
Click Next
Click Build
Click Finish
Now you have a media folder that looks like a Windows 10 ISO media
In the sources folder there is also a install.wim – this wim file can you import into MDT as a custom image or into SCCM as a Operating System Images. In both cases you can deploy it with a normal deployment Task Sequence, join the domain and then the SharedPC mode is enabled on a domain joined device.
Excellent post now complementary this post with osdimg we can create an iso file with this option
oscdimg -bD:\sharedpc(folder)\boot\Etfsboot.com -u2 -h D:\sharedpc(folder)\ D:\Win10.iso
Good stuff, but I only want to manage one single media for my entire estate. I would prefer to apply the provisioning profile to the machine via SCCM post build, for example if the machine is in a particular OU or group. Currently this appears to not be possible.
Dont see Windows Image customizations on the new ICD version
I thnik that Micrisoft has removed that option
Enjoyed reading the article above, really explains everything in detail,the
