    Alternatively to the base64 option: Write the Mail in Outlook, export it and send with ps: https://github.com/Businesskasper/ps-stuff/blob/main/Misc/SendOutlookExportedMail.ps1 You can use placeholders and replace them with variables.

    Poor mans solution: encrypt the secret using a self signed certificate on the server. https://github.com/Businesskasper/ps-stuff/blob/main/Certificates/EncryptAndReadSecrets.ps1 No need for automation products or secret stores if that is all you need.

  • MDT replacement - best tool for OSD?
    3 projects | /r/SCCM | 12 Jun 2023
    The PowerShell Deployment (PSD) extension for MDT is a very good alternative (pun intended as I'm part of the team) and it can be used from anywhere as the SMB restriction has been contained only to the MDT console. The rest is happening via SSL and web services. BTW, regarding the ADK, you can still use the 2004 version that gives you the ability to install 32-bit Windows 10 and 64-bit Windows 10/11. Give it a try https://github.com/FriendsOfMDT/PSD.

  • Logs associated with updating a deployment share?
    1 project | /r/MDT | 6 May 2023
    For days now I've been attempting to update a newly created PowerShell Deployment share (https://github.com/FriendsOfMDT/PSD) and it just won't update. I gets to the point of "copying .wim to deployment share" and just sits. I've let it sit for literally a day or so thinking maybe it just took a while. I've followed article after article for configuring deployment shares and have went through numerous videos (this also isn't the first I've used MDT so I kinda-sorta know my way around). I'm just not sure where else to turn to try to fix this issue. It'd be great to see an error message somewhere to at least jump start my googling.
  • When will there be a new version of MDT?
    1 project | /r/MDT | 28 Apr 2023
    Someone else mentioned the Powershell Deployment Kit: https://github.com/FriendsOfMDT/PSD
  • Is there any alternative network boot to WDS?
    2 projects | /r/MDT | 5 Apr 2023
    For the MDT part now, there is a solution based on PowerShell that has shifted entirely to https instead of SMB (I'm part of the Development Team), you may want to take a look here https://github.com/FriendsOfMDT/PSD. Please read the documentation well before jumping the gun ;-).
  • Remotely image from home
    1 project | /r/Intune | 5 Nov 2022
    I used MDT with this.. https://github.com/FriendsOfMDT/PSD
  • MDT installation problem
    2 projects | /r/MDT | 19 Oct 2022
  • MDT powershell only
    1 project | /r/WindowsServer | 26 Apr 2022
    https://github.com/FriendsOfMDT/PSD is probably the closest thing to what you're looking for.
  • Powershell for Windows deployment?
