I skimmed over that blog and I didn’t see anything any different than how I’ve attempted to do this in the past and it didn’t work. Not sure what I am missing but if anyone figures it out please post results.
I was talking to a friend the other night and he said the easy solution is go with LTSB. At first I was hesitant but it really started to make sense as he talked through it. Microsoft wants us all to use CBB but they are making that incredibly difficult, LTSB already has all the stuff that we are trying to take out of CBB removed from it. I’m not saying I’m going to take that approach but it did at least make some sense when I listened to it.
