If your OSDCloud Azure Setup is complete, and you're run a quick test, here is how to make things work in WinPE. You will need the OSD PowerShell Module 22.6.1+
If you are using an OSDCloud boot image, then the OSD PowerShell Module should be updated automatically. In a PowerShell prompt, run Start-OSDCloudAzure. You will be prompted for Azure Device Authentication
Follow the instructions and authenticate to Azure on a separate device running a full OS (not WinPE) or a Mobile Web Browser
You may have multiple Azure Subscriptions, you will be required to select one using the crude menu pictured below
Once you are connected to Azure, you'll be presented with OSDCloud Azure where you can select an appropriate Operating System
This will change from time to time as more features are added. They should look identical to OSDCloud "Classic"
In addition to Network Drivers, Disk and SCSIAdapter Drivers are also downloaded from Microsoft Update Catalog. This is to ensure that you are able to boot to Specialize for EXE Driver Extraction. You have the option to download System Firmware on supported devices as well
You are able to select a different Driver Pack, Microsoft Update Catalog, or None as needed
Once you have sorted out your options, press Start
Invoke-OSDCloud is the Task Sequence and it is Variable driven. You will see the Variables that you have set prior to starting Invoke-OSDCloud
The Windows Image or ISO that you selected will be download during this process
If you selected an ISO instead of a WIM, and the Index was set to Auto, you will be prompted to select a Windows Image
If everything worked out properly, within a few minutes you will have a completed OS ready to reboot
