Run a MDT Deployment Share From Media Without Creating Seperate Media Share

Found this cool trick to run a regular MDT Deployment share from media.

1. Add a “media.tag” file to the \Scripts directory.
2. Format and set the flash drive as bootable.
   1. NTFS for legacy and FAT32 for UEFI (Use rufus if larger than 32gb).
3. Create Deploy\ folder on root of Flash Drive.
4. Copy contents of Deployment Share to Deploy\ on Flash Drive.
5. Open Boot\Litetouch_x64.iso with 7-zip and extract contents to root of Flash Drive.
6. Boot up laptop and perform one-time boot with Flash Drive with no Network Cable attached.
7. It will time-out attempting to connect to the share, click on Cancel.
8. From command prompt, open the X:\Deploy\Scripts\BootStrap.ini file and remove the rule for the DEPLOYROOT, close and save.
9. Plug in Network, and then run “cscript x:\deploy\scripts\litetouch.wsf” to initiate the media deployment.
10. Once the WIM is applied and it’s ready to reboot, you will have to type “exit” to close the command prompt, which will initiate a reboot to the OS.

P.S.  Here is my current Imaging Flash Drive I use:
