SOLVED Missing tabs after installing ADK 10.1.26100.2454

[leedsy]

So we recently updated our old SCCM 2103 ConfigMgr to the latest 2409 build (haven't installed hotfixes just yet)

After the upgrade we noticed that we couldn't image certain Dell Latitude models. We would try to add the drivers to the boot image and it would fail to import the drivers giving an error regarding committing the changes to the WIM. I figured as this WIM had been updated 20+ times over the past few years, it might just be better to remove the old boot WIMs and start fresh.

I grabbed the boot.wim from the ADK installation folder, (winpe.wim) and moved it into a UNC share, renamed it to boot.wim, then added it into SCCM. Just to make sure it was using the correct windows pe version, I reloaded the boot image with the "Reload the boot image with the current Windows PE version from the Windows ADK" and let it complete. I am now missing the tabs to customize the boot wim, and we require this to add additional components to the boot wim. I have read about this issue and thought running through the steps here would solve the problem, but I was wrong. The script in the blog executes fine, however the tabs are still missing. I feel like I'm missing something obvious, and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Are you creating an sccm boot media or an MDT boot media?
If the latter you might wand to remove the MST integration and then re-add it

Figured it out in the end, for whatever reason the ADK version wasn't updating in SCCM, even after multiple reboots during the uninstall > latest ADK install process, the SCCM "Reload boot image with current ADK" still showed the old version.

To fix it I uninstalled the latest version, rebooted > installed a slightly older ADK > rebooted > confirmed the dialog now showed the installed version, then uninstalled > rebooted > installed latest > rebooted and finally it's showing the correct version and the missing tabs are back and machines are again imaging!
