If somebody is looking at a similar solution, you can use PowerShell to do this. This is not my script, but it works perfectly.
<# .Synopsis This script will create a ramdisk containing the boot.wim which the computer will boot to on restart. This script will work only on Windows Imaging environment. .Prerequisites - From the Windows PE boot USB, copy boot.wim in the Sources folder to C:\Sources on the target - From the Windows PE boot USB, copy the Boot folder to C:\ on the target .Notes Because "bcdedit /bootsequence" is used, the computer should boot back into Windows when restarted if imaging is cancelled. #> # Checks that Disk 0 is the boot disk. $DISKZERO = Get-Disk 0 If ($DISKZERO.IsBoot -ne $true) { Write-Host "Disk 0 is not the boot disk. Exiting..." Exit 999 } else { Write-Host "Disk 0 is the boot disk. Proceeding..." } # Create {ramdiskoptions} and configure bcdedit -create "{ramdiskoptions}" bcdedit /set "{ramdiskoptions}" ramdisksdidevice partition=C: bcdedit /set "{ramdiskoptions}" ramdisksdipath \boot\boot.sdi # Add LiteTouch boot device to OSLOADER $Output = bcdedit -create /d "LiteTouch MDT" /application OSLOADER # Obtain LiteTouch boot device GUID $LTGUID = $Output | %{ $_.split(' ')[2] } # Configure LiteTouch to ramdisk boot bcdedit /set $LTGUID device "ramdisk=[C:]\sources\boot.wim,{ramdiskoptions}" bcdedit /set $LTGUID osdevice "ramdisk=[C:]\sources\boot.wim,{ramdiskoptions}" bcdedit /set $LTGUID systemroot \windows bcdedit /set $LTGUID detecthal yes bcdedit /set $LTGUID winpe yes # Adjust for UEFI vs Legacy BIOS types if ($env:firmware_type -eq 'UEFI'){ Write-Host "UEFI boot confirmed." bcdedit /set $LTGUID path \windows\system32\boot\winload.efi } Else { Write-Host "Legacy boot confirmed." bcdedit /set $LTGUID path \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe } # Force LiteTouch ramdisk on next boot and restart bcdedit /bootsequence $LTGUID shutdown /r /f /t 0 -
This is now available in 1.5.0.

@theopenem_admin how to use this feature? I tried to upload the PXE files and the upload fails.
-
To use the new feature you need to upload the boot.sdi and winpe10x64.wim files that were created from wie_build. Don't rename them. Are you able to upload files in other modules? to make sure this isn't an upload setting issue?
-
@theopenem_admin I am unable to upload files for any other modules. I checked logs and couldn't find any.
-
Did you set the upload url in web.config when you installed?

-
@theopenem_admin my bad! I made a mistake in the IP. Modified it the correct ip now. Do I need to do anything on the server side for it to take effect?
-
no, that's it.

@theopenem_admin Thank you.
