No problem (I thought), done it before: install Windows from ISO, use WSUS and/or downloads from the Windows Update Catalog site for updates, and add any required additional features (“ Features On Demand”, aka FODs) from downloadable CAB files. For reasons we need not go into, the machine on which the build is being done has no Internet access, nor is the option to even temporarily give it access available. I recently started creating a new Microsoft Windows 10 Build 1809 image at a client (happens to be the LTSC flavor, but that’s not relevant here). As it involves quick reflexes and hand-eye coordination, this post may qualify as Jacques Bensimon’s weirdest ever.
