SCCM OSD Remote Offices Offline Scenario
Question
We currently utilise the traditional wipe and load deployment method for win 10 deployment – traditional domain join
The usually set up with DP’s per site (traditional)
However, i need a solution to deploy to machines, where sites cannot host local infrastructure for building devices or connect over the WAN.
building via usb was a thought however, theres the issue of no access to the network.
In reality i would put forth autopilot /azure ad – device writeback however its a future enhancement not current.

Hello you can try this option as well From Johan

I have seen this before. Please try yourself 🙂
Hello – I think the only option is OFFLINE Media (full offline media).
I think you might have already familiar with this option. Do you see any limitation with this … if can you please let us what are your connectivity concerns with offline media

Hi Anoops thanks for taking the time out to reply. Yes i have used offline media before.
My only concern would be around the domain join part via the offline media.
I was thinking of CMG and utilising a cloud distribution point.
The easiest and simplest way would be the USB part.
Have you have used one of your task sequence to domain join a device whilst not having network connectivity?
The main concern around offline media is the network dependancy parts, such as domain join as everything else is within the media
Hello Usman, If you looking for deployment without network dependencies. It would be great to go with Standalone Media (Offline Image) Options as Suggested By Anoop.
I don’t think, You will able to Join devices to domain without Network Connectivity. At least Target devices should be connected to stable network for communicate with Domain Controller. But With Offline Image approach extra dependencies over Network and package distribution will get minimized.
I agree with Jitesh.
The only other option is to have Direct Access to have Domain Join
Honestly, that is more complex than implementing AutoPilot and Azure AD Join solution:)

Thanks both
Have you guys ever had to deal with this kind of scenario before?
It kind of makes the whole offline option useless unless there is network connectivity to domain join and decrease network traffic
What do you guys make of this?
Djoin was introduced in win 10
