Boot media for the reference task sequence

Boot media is created when the reference share is right-clicked and you select Update Deployment Share.

This action runs a PowerShell script to update the WinPE share. This action is known as UpdateDP:

Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment 
  Toolkit\bin\MicrosoftDeploymentToolkit.psd1"
