Install the Windows ADK offline

To install the Windows ADK on a PC that does not have Internet access, first download the installer files on a PC that has internet access. Next, copy the installer files to a location that is accessible to the offline computer. Then run ADKSetup.exe using either the GUI or the command line.

Using the GUI

1. On a PC that has Internet access, see Download and install the Windows ADK.
2. Click one of the links to download the ADK version you desire, and Save adksetup.exe to a location on your computer.
3. Run ADKSetup.exe. After a few seconds, the Specify Location screen appears.

The success of this step requires that you run ADKSetup.exe on a computer with an Internet connection and without a copy of Windows ADK installed. If you have Windows ADK installed and do not wish to uninstall it, consider following the instructions in the «Using the command line» section below instead.

Using the command line

If you have a scenario where you need to silently install the Windows ADK, you can install using the command line.

On a PC that has Internet access, see Download and install the Windows ADK.

Click one of the links to download the ADK version you desire, and Save adksetup.exe to a location on your computer.

Open a Command Prompt window as administrator.

Change to the directory that stores the Adksetup.exe file:

Run adksetup.exe. Use /quiet to run the installer silently. Use /layout to specify where the offline install files will be copied to.

Copy the downloaded files to a location that the offline computer can access. For example, copy the files to removable media or to a file server that the offline computer can access.

On the offline computer, open a Command Prompt window as an administrator.

Download and install the Windows ADK

The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) has the tools you need to customize Windows images for large-scale deployment, and to test the quality and performance of your system, its added components, and the applications running on it. The Windows ADK includes:

The Windows Assessment Toolkit and the Windows Performance Toolkit to assess the quality and performance of systems or components.

Deployment tools such as WinPE, Sysprep, and other tools that you can use to customize and deploy Windows 10 images.

Starting with Windows 10, version 1809, Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE) is released separately from the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK). To add Windows PE to your ADK installation, download the Windows PE Addon and run the included installer after installing the ADK. This change enables post-RTM updates to tools in the ADK. After you run the installer, the WinPE files will be in the same location as they were in previous ADK installs.

A Windows ADK for Windows 10, version 20H2 will not be released. You can use the Windows ADK for Windows 10, version 2004 To deploy Windows 10, version 20H2.

Как установить ADK на Windows 10

На повестке дня у меня, как установить Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) на систему Windows 10 Pro amd64 где я собираю свой собственный автоматизированный образ системы. Точнее моя цель это создать образ Windows 7,10,Server 2012 R2,Server 2016 под различные лабораторные работы где не будет на всех этапах установки требоваться мое участие. Вот выставил образ как загрузочный и без лишних вопросов система взяла и установилась. Первую задумка, как собрать образ Windows 7 Pro x64 с файлом ответов я уже собрал. Сейчас в процессе для Windows 10 , но дабы все на моих блогах было понятно, не стоит пропускать такой важный шаг, как документирование установки Windows ADK.

Авторизуюсь на рабочей станции под управлением Windows 10 Pro x64 с правами, либо локального администратора, либо администратора домена, смотря что сейчас под рукой.

Открываю браузер и в URL адрес копирую следующую ссылку: https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install#winADK

затем нажимаю на « Download the Windows ADK for Windows 10, version 1809 ”

После через правый клик мышью на скачанном файле adksetup.exe выбираю « Запуск от имени администратора » и следую за шагами мастера инсталляции:

Выбор расположения: Установите Комплект средств для развертывания и оценки Windows — Windows 10 на этом компьютере, путь установки дефолтный ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10 ) и нажимаю «Далее».

Далее отказываюсь отправлять анонимные данные об использовании комплектов Windows 10 в корпорацию Майрософт.

Отправлять анонимные данные об использовании комплектов Windows 10 в корпорацию Майкрософт: Нет

и нажимаю «Далее»

Принимаю лицензионное соглашение и нажимаю «Принять»

Этап выбора компонентов, Оставляю отмеченными предустановленные компоненты и нажимаю «Установить»

Ожидаю… Через некоторое время мастер все установит и нужно будет нажать «Закрыть»

Каталог установленных компонентов Windows Kits:

Нажимаю клавишу Win и если пролистать какие программы установлены, то вы должны увидеть каталог именуемый, как Windows Kits (это оно и есть)

Раскрываю каталог « Windows Kits » и через правый клик мышью на установленном приложении выбираю « Запуск от имени администратора » — « Среда средств развертывания и работы с образами », по итогу получаю открытую консоль командной строки вида (« C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools »), как указано ниже не представленном скриншоте

Это говорит о том, что комплект утилит для автоматизированного развертывания установлен и теперь из каталога Windows Kits их можно вызывать, главное не забывать через правый клик выбирать « Запуск от имени администратора ». На основе этой заметки строится все дальнейшее решение поставленных задач выше. По крайней мере, так делаю я, Вы же делаете как Вам удобно, пишу я все в первую очередь для себя. Ладно задача выполнена, на этом я прощаюсь, с уважением автор блога Олло Александр aka ekzorchik.
