Articles get their own address (shareable, back/forward work); the list is
searchable by title and text, shows the article count, and is grouped into
Applications and Troubleshooting & Guides via a hidden category line set
from the editor. PDF export lays out at page width with page breaks, a title
block and page numbers; Print uses the browser's vector print. Inline code
is a pill that glows blue on hover, blockquotes no longer squeeze, and
GitHub-style [!NOTE] alerts render. [[Badge]] syntax inside code spans is
left alone.

# 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.
