Wizard Kit

A collection of scripts to help technicians service Windows systems.

Main Kit

Build Requirements

  • PowerShell 3.0 or newer1
  • 10 Gb disk space

Initial Setup

  • Replace artwork as desired
  • Run Build Kit.cmd which will do the following:
    • Download 7-Zip, ConEmu, Notepad++, and Python (including wheel packages)
    • Open main.py in Notepad++ for configuration
    • Update the rest of the tools with the .bin\Scripts\update_kit.py script

Layout

  • Root
    • Main script launchers:
  • .bin
    • Extracted programs: As compressed tools are run they will be extracted here.
    • Scripts
      • "Real" scripts live here and are run via their respective launchers.
  • .cbin
    • This folder holds the compressed and encrypted tool archives.
    • They are extracted at runtime as needed.
  • Data Recovery
    • This folder is not copied by Copy WizardKit.cmd to help discourage
    • recovering data to the same drive.
  • Data Transfers
  • Diagnostics
  • Drivers
  • Installers
  • Misc
  • Repairs
  • Uninstallers

Live Linux

Build Requirements

  • Arch Linux
  • 6 Gb disk space

Initial Setup

  • Replace artwork as desired
  • Install Arch Linux in a virtual machine (VirtualBox is a good option for Windows systems).
  • Add a standard user to the Arch Linux installation.
  • Install git # pacman -Syu git
  • (Recommended) Install and configure sudo
  • Login to the user added above
  • Download the Github repo $ git clone https://github.com/2Shirt/WizardKit.git
  • Run the build script
    • $ cd WizardKit
    • $ ./Build\ Linux -b
    • The build script does the following:
      • Installs missing dependencies via pacman
      • Opens main.py in nano for configuration
      • Downloads, builds, and adds AUR packages to a local repo
      • Builds the Live Linux ISO

Notes

  • The WinPE boot options require files to be copied from a completed WinPE build.
    • This is done below for the Combined UFD

Windows PE

Build Requirements

  • Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit for Windows 10
    • Deployment Tools
    • Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE)
    • All other features are not required
  • PowerShell 3.0 or newer
  • 8 Gb disk space

Initial Setup

  • Replace artwork as desired
  • Run Build PE.cmd which will do the following:
    • Load the WADK environment
    • Open main.py in notepad for configuration
    • Download all tools
    • Build both 32-bit & 64-bit PE images (exported as ISO files)

Combined Wizard Kit

Build Requirements

  • 64-bit system or virtual machine
  • 4 Gb RAM
  • 8 Gb USB flash drive (16 Gb or larger recommended)

Overview

There's a build-ufd script which does the following:

  • Checks for the presence if the Linux ISO and the (64-bit) WinPE ISO.
  • Formats the selected UFD using FAT32.
    • All data will be deleted from the UFD resulting in DATA LOSS.
  • Copies the required files from the Linux ISO, WinPE ISO, and Main Kit folder to the UFD.
  • Installs Syslinux to the UFD making it bootable on legacy systems.
  • Sets the boot files/folders to be hidden under Windows.

Setup

  • Boot to a Live Linux ISO built following the instructions above.
    • You can apply it to a UFD using rufus for physical systems.
    • Virtual machines should be able to use the Linux ISO directly.
  • Mount the device(s) or network share(s) that contain the Linux ISO, WinPE ISO, and Main Kit folder.
  • Connect the UFD but don't mount it.
  • Get the device name of the UFD.
    • You can use `inxi -Dxx` or lsblk --fs to help.
  • $ sudo build-ufd --ufd-device [device] --linux-iso [path] --main-kit [path] --winpe-iso [path]
    • 2nd Warning: All data will be erased from the UFD resulting in DATA LOSS.
    • NOTE: The Main Kit folder will be renamed on the UFD using $KIT_NAME_FULL
      • $KIT_NAME_FULL defaults to "Wizard Kit" but can be changed in main.py
    • You can include extra items by using the --extra-dir option
      • (e.g. $ sudo build-ufd --ufd-device [device] --linux-iso [path] --main-kit [path] --winpe-iso [path] --extra-dir [path])
    • To include images for the WinPE Setup section, put the files in "Extras/images".
      • WinPE Setup will recognize ESD, WIM, and SWM2 images.
      • The filenames should be "Win7", "Win8", or "Win10"

Notes

  1. PowerShell 6.0 on Windows 7 is not supported by the build script.
  2. See wimlib-imagex for details about split WIM images.
