[[Gray:Reference]] # Create a Bootable Imaging USB Use this when PXE isn't available (remote site, isolated network, or a device that won't PXE boot). ## You'll Need - A USB drive of **32 GB or more** (it will be erased) - Access to the ConfigMgr console ## Steps 1. In the ConfigMgr console go to **Software Library > Operating Systems > Task Sequences**. 2. Right-click the deployment task sequence > **Create Task Sequence Media**. 3. Choose **Bootable media** > **Dynamic media**. 4. Select **Removable USB drive** and pick the drive. 5. Leave the media unprotected or set a password per team policy. 6. Select the current production **boot image** and distribution point. 7. Finish the wizard. Writing the media takes about 5-10 minutes. ## Booting From It - Press the vendor boot-menu key (**F9** HP, **F12** Dell/Lenovo) and choose the USB device (UEFI). - If Secure Boot blocks the USB, confirm it was built from a signed boot image.
