Employee Graeme Gordon Posted June 6 Employee Posted June 6 Yes, we are maintaining OSOT, especially as it is part of the product downloads and fully supported. I've been helping with a few bugs and updates, and know that a new version is in the works. 5 2
Employee Jack McMichael Posted July 25 Employee Posted July 25 Love live the OSOT!😄 It was such a fun tool to be a part of creating. Thanks for keeping on top of it Graeme! 2
Jeremy Lippert Posted September 19 Posted September 19 @Graeme Gordon Does the latest version (1.2 (2406)) officially support Windows 11 23H2? And are there any updates to templates for Win 11 23H2?
Employee Graeme Gordon Posted September 23 Employee Posted September 23 Yes, I just got confirmation from the OSOT team . They tested and support with Win 11 23H2 (Ent, Edu, and Pro). They also tested with 24H2. There were no updates to the built-in template in this release. A few years ago, we changed OSOT so that a single template could be used in different OS versions. There were also no new optimizations that we needed to include in this release. 1

Now if only I could get my hands on a 24H2 ISO and start un-supportingly testing it on Horizon 🙂 haha Stephen Wagner (President, Digitally Accurate Inc.)

I can't appear to get it to work, I've tried quite a few things. I get it's not technically supported, but just wanting to know if it's just me or if anyone has been able to get it to work.
StephenWagner7 Posted October 9 Posted October 9 I'll be tested it shortly, and will report my results. However, keep in mind that even if it does work, it's not supported and shouldn't be used in production, until Omnissa officially supports it. 2 Stephen Wagner (President, Digitally Accurate Inc.)

StephenWagner7 Posted October 9 Posted October 9 (edited) Testing Results (Windows 11 24H2 with OSOT) Note that I created a new Base Image, using Microsoft ADK and WinPE for proper deployment of a base image without a vTPM (following best practices, so that vTPMs can be attached during provisioning). -Optimization Semi-Works (Note issues below) -Generalization Semi-Works (Note issues below) -Finalization Works (skipped Zero'ing disk for time efficiency) -Provisioning: Deploying the snapshot to an Instant Clone pool, results in a functional Instant Clone (with App Volumes Agent providing O365, Chrome, Zoom for VDI). Issue #1 - Optimization Under "Store Apps", if you choose to Remove all store apps, all the check boxes are not clickable to keep any apps. I'm assuming that either naming of the Windows Store apps has changed, or the OSOT 2406 tool isn't detecting them. The workaround I chose, "Keep all Windows Store Applications". Issue #2 - Generalization When Generalizing, it appears to go through the process, but despite selecting "Reboot System", it does not reboot. Reviewing the log files, it appears generalization was successful, however despite "Generalization Succeeded", there are some failures in the sysprep logs. Manually restarting the VM allows you to proceed, and image appears to be generalized. Edited October 9 by StephenWagner7 Stephen Wagner (President, Digitally Accurate Inc.)
