In case you're unable to use intune, a free approach might be https://theforeman.org/ That works well for provisioning baremetal windows (with discovery image or pxe boot) once you've set it up. It supports script access as well as a nice hierarchy for configurations. But it's really not as well documented as it should be. Source: 12 months ago
I use the foreman with puppet and pxe/kickstart scripts to automate VM/baremetal provisioning etc. Source: about 1 year ago

The iso images are typically locked at a certain verison. The update repositories sounds like what you are looking for to cache updates. Look into theforeman.org and specifically the plugin Katello. This is an upstream for Red Hat's Satellite product. Another option would be Canonical's MAAS.

Alternatively, you can use Foreman+Katello, the upstream base of Satellite, to get started in learning the platform. You can also use the component matrix to use the versions that most closely resemble Satellite. Source: over 1 year ago

Not exactly an answer to your question but I’ve used FAI (https://fai-project.org) to just make dynamic images. The scripting is a bitch and the entire process is annoying, but you have control over every step of the install, the final product is an image you can install even over NetBoot and fully automatic.
