hey, so heads up:

that Win11 v24H2 "Enterprise G" ISO that's been the hot news lately is a complete flat-out lie based on files sourced from Windows Update servers, mashed together to form a poorly-made hackjob which also uses binaries from Windows 10 Pro v2004. to put simply:

  • ISO volume name and creation date are bogus; wrong tools used to generate image (imapi2 instead of oscdimg/cdimage) - final resulting OS image was produced a week ago on 27th June 2024 at 07:13:18 AM (UTC+3), ISO generated at roughly 07:25:27 AM
  • the system language is supposed to be Simplified Chinese, but it's English (US)
  • OS image is directly based off of the v24H2 RTM build's Pro source packages, as well as leftover edition-specific packages related to EnterpriseG that were accidentally published to Windows Update servers - WIM creation times match 1:1 with metadata ESDs from WU
  • the "Enterprise G" edition manifest's code signing catalog is actually borrowed from win10 v2004's professional edition; catalog signed on 7th December 2019 (same time as VB_RELEASE 19041.1); the conversion from Pro to "Enterprise G" using these hacked-together files took two minutes, tops
  • author tried to deliberately hide their tracks by removing any and all logs from the CBS logs directory
  • it's partially set up to auto-activate using massgrave KMS38 and remove edge after installation (the Edge removal thing is not present though)
  • guy who made the ISO also directly modified the media to swap out the setup background image from purple to pitch black to poorly "replicate" a problem present in official MS media for Win11 v24H2

the real Enterprise G is actually published by CMIT (joint venture between MS and CETC in China), meant for China government employees - first introduced in May 2017. the last release the venture made was based on Windows 10 v21H2 CU build 19044.1345, released on 28th January 2022.

don't trust random shit that people make up on the Internet. please.
