WinPE boot

Boot menu editor startnet.cmd

Saves rewrite startnet.cmd inside boot.wim and affect every PXE boot. The prior copy is snapshotted first, so any save can be restored from History.

{% if snapshots %}

Snapshots

{{ snapshots | length }} earlier startnet.cmd snapshot{{ 's' if snapshots | length != 1 }} {{ 'are' if snapshots | length != 1 else 'is' }} still on disk. Restore is unavailable until boot.wim is present.

Boot settings

Each field edits only its own line in startnet.cmd. Leave a field blank to keep the current value. The save goes through the same boot.wim path as the Raw tab.

Address startnet.cmd maps the winpeapps share from.
Whole seconds before the default menu entry auto-selects.
The entry chosen when the timeout elapses.

WIM info

{{ wim_info_dl() }}
Appending a new image at the end always works. Reordering or removing an entry whose number the enrollment %choice% router cross-references may be refused by the server to keep numbering in sync. If so, the raw text is left untouched and the reason is shown at the top of the page.

Raw startnet.cmd

Windows\System32\startnet.cmd
Editing startnet.cmd inside {{ wim_path }}. Tab inserts a tab; Esc then Tab moves focus on.

Lint

Snapshots

Every save snapshots the prior startnet.cmd first. Diff a snapshot against the current boot.wim, or restore it. Restoring also snapshots the current copy first.
