      This is a bit of a related topic on Win 10 profile customization - in the past we used the copy profile option in the sysprep unattend file combined with a VBS script to add/remove apps pinned to the taskbar. This script no longer works in Win 10.

      What are you guys doing in terms of the taskbar? I see you mention the IE stuff in appdata, but I don’t believe that covers everything (like the Win Store icon for instance).

        @MRCUR The IE stuff in appdata is where the shortcut files that are pinned to taskbar go, but to get it to work fully you need the ntuser.dat files. The script I posted copies that file from your customized profile into the default profile but only that file. Give my batch script a try. If you’re using sysprep, some customizations might disappear so you could run the script before sysprep then put the resulting C:\Users\Default in a network share somewhere then copy it back over after sysprep or after imaging.

        Does that help at all?

        Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

          @Arrowhead-IT certainly a nice clean approach… glad you got it figured out! and thanks for sharing with the community… i’m sure it’ll become useful as people start to move over to win10.

            @Arrowhead-IT I’ll give your script a try. I think the issue for me is that with our current solution, we can adjust what’s pinned on the taskbar by updating the login script and copying it to machines. With the default profile, that isn’t the case. It’s once and done for the user.

              @MRCUR I see what you’re saying. It would be less work to not have to manually pin some icons to the taskbar and then run the script.
              Granted I have my default base image with my default profile on a esxi vm, so for me it is pretty easy to do. I suppose it could be possible to edit the ntuser.dat file manually to add in shortcuts. I’ll look into that, because it would certainly be easier.

                @MRCUR Well I think it is possible to edit it directly, but it is not easy.
                Let’s say you run my script and have a working default profile and you saved the folder somewhere.
                Now let’s copy the whole profile folder to the local computer, in the C:\ root for example(just to be safe not editing the original right away)
                Now open up regedit.exe as an administrator and highlight ‘HKEY_USERS’
                File → Load Hive
                Open up
                “C:\Default\NTUSER.DAT”
                name the hive test, or something like that.

                You can now edit the default profile registry .dat settings to your heart’s content. Problem is, it’s the registry…
                So the second half of task bar pins is in that hive under
                HKEY_USERS\test\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband
                But that key is all binary and Dwords.
                Granted, you could just customize some pins on any user and export that key from
                HKEY_USERS\userSID\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband
                And then import or copy paste the values into the hive you’re editing and that would work.
                Then just highlight the test hive and do file→unload hive and all the settings should be saved in the .dat file.

                I saw some vbs scripts in various forums that claimed to automate the pinning but I didn’t try any of them. But I’ll post some links in case they help you do it the way you want to.

                Here’s where I came up with most of this
                http://smallbusiness.chron.com/modify-ntuserdat-56096.html - editing ntuser.dat
                https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/73eb1c0a-fc78-4ae7-ba6d-356d9a9a5328/solved-how-to-pin-to-start-menutask-bar-for-default-user?forum=w7itproinstall - possible script solution
                http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2008/06/06/useful-script-number-5-adjusting-the-default-user-registry-hive.aspx - editing ntuser.dat some more

                Hope that helps in some way. Sorry that I didn’t find an easy answer for you.

                  @Arrowhead-IT Thanks, I’ll certainly take a look at all of those. I really wish MS would just include some PS cmdlets to do this. It would be so simple to have a logic script to do exactly what we wanted then.

                    So one caveat to my method with using devcon from the windows wdk (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/dn913721.aspx)
                    is that when you remove all the devices it removes and doesn’t reinstall on restart a couple system devices that are required to make remote desktop work.
                    So in other words you can’t rdp/windows remote desktop into an imaged computer. I had found this rather annoying and finally figured out exactly which devices are required and scripted how to fix it. yay!

                    This is also helpful to anyone that perhaps is having trouble with remote desktop when it is otherwise configured correctly.

                    So the devices that you could install manually as legacy devices are…

                    • NDIS Virtual Network Adapter Enumerator
                    • UMBus Root Bus Enumerator (adds UMBus Enumerators on restart that are also needed)
                    • Remote Desktop Device Redirector Bus

                    Luckily the inf files for all of these are still in the driverstore. And the devcon.exe tool can be used to install them quickly from the command line. 0_1453504913836_devcon.exe - 64 bit version from wdk 8.1 - put this in your C:\Windows\System32 for the following script to work. You can also download and install the wdk from the above link and find it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10 somewhere, a tools folder of some sort as I recall. I tested it with the 8.1 version but just discovered there is a windows 10 version as I was writing this.

                    Anywho, scripty script

                    @ECHO off
                    	REM Script for fixing remote desktop after uninstalling all devices

                    	Devcon install %~2 %~3
                    	echo. done!
                    	EXIT /B
                    
                    :addDriverAndRestart
                    	echo. installing %~1 and restarting computer...	
                    	Devcon -r install %~2 %~3
                    	echo. done!
                    	REM just in case -r doesn't reboot...
                    	Devcon reboot & exit
                    	EXIT /B
                    
                    :dots
                    	REM just echoing dots in a Function instead of copy pasting them so that it's consistent
                    	echo ......................................................................
                    	EXIT /B
                    
                    :funcHead
                    	REM A simple function for displaying a consistent header at the start of functions
                    	call :dots
                    	echo. %~1
                    	call :dots
                    	EXIT /B
                    

                    run that as a batch script, it will restart your computer and it will fix remote desktop if you break it by manually uninstalling devices

                    I had been having trouble with this problem for months and just fixed it and figured it related enough to everything else here so I shared it

                      @Arrowhead-IT said in Cortana/Windows Search breaks in default profile:

                      So I finally figured this out.
                      In windows 10, Instead of using the copy to method in user profiles you gotta be a little trickier.

                      Customize the profile you want then login to a different admin account.
                      Now copy the only the appdata folders you need such as
                      roaming/mozilla for firefox customizations
                      local/Google for chrome customizations
                      local/Microsoft/Windows/Default Layouts
                      and
                      local/Microsoft/Tile Data Layer
                      for start menu pins
                      roaming/microsoft/internet explorer for task bar pins

                      And then once that’s all done, leaving the default profile as it was otherwise there’s one other thing to do to get the task bar settings and desktop background type settings to work. Which is all in the NTuser.dat type files. Just run this command in an administrator cmd

                      XCOPY C:\Users\CustomUser\ntuser* C:\Users\Default /H
                      

                      It will ask if you want to overwrite, you do.

                      And then it works, a completely customized default profile without breaking any of the windows 10 metro apps.

                      I’m about to dig into this myself, and follow these instructions. To be clear, we are copying the necessary items from the configured account’s app data to the default profile, or are you somehow deploying these files to all accounts?

                        @Wayne-Workman I have since updated this script.
                        I don’t have a way to dynamically update all users. It essentially copies the neccesarry app data folders that won’t break cortana/start
                        to the default profile and then copies that default profile to a network share for deploying via a fog snapin with another script that takes arguements of the name of the profile you make.

                        Here let me just take out my credentials and share name and post a copies of my current create and apply windows 10 profile scripts…

                        p.s. I recently discovered that profiles made on 64 bit windows won’t work on 32 bit windows. So you have to create separate versions from 32 bit and 64 bit windows installs if you have different archs in your environment.

                            @Wayne-Workman

                            some quick notes. You do need to put your username and password in plain text for shares, unless you have shares that give everyone access. If anyone knows of a way to encrypt that, I’d love to hear it. I know it can be done with openssl in linux bash scripts but I am yet to find the equivalent for a batch script. But hey bash will come to windows 10 soon.

                            This script hasn’t been tested for windows 7 or 8 profiles. It does detect the windows version because I was preparing to add that kind of functionality but since I am ending up moving completely to windows 10, I never put the work into it

                            The create profile script prompts you for the name of the user profile you customized and asks you for what department/profile you are making it for.

                            The Apply simply takes one arguement of the profile name. So you can upload just the one script to fog and make a bunch of snapins with different args for each profile you have to deploy.

                            Also note that I have some extra app data folders for custom settings of specific programs we use. I left them in there as examples.

                              @Arrowhead-IT That is a sick setup, good job man! I’m not as skilled with batch scripting as you are, clearly.

                              I’ll be using this tomorrow.

                                Hi,

                                i don’t use that tricky registry tweaks for making a profile to default.
                                Ever tried STRG + SHIFT + F3 in Express Settings to enter Audit mode?
                                Then do your changes and fire a sysprep:

                                sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown /unattend:c:\pathtoanswerfile\unattend.xml
                                Make sure your unattend.xml has the copyprofile option enabled!!!
                                Now take your image.

                                If you ever need to make changes restore to vm again let it boot and goto audit mode again: sysprep /audit /reboot

                                I have that parts scripted for my self and can give you that stuff if you need.

                                Never try to uninstall staged appx apps or you break sysprep, also don’t use O&O Shutup or Stuff like that this also breaks sysprep.

                                Regards X23

                                  @x23piracy Yes I am aware of the copy profile option and that is a great method for a default profile if you only need one default profile for the image.

                                  The end result of solving this problem was a snapin that deploys a profile to any existing windows 10 computer so that all profiles created after the profile is deployed use the customized default profile. So you can have one base image that can have any number of custom profiles added to it.
                                  It doesn’t require the registry tweaks or anything like that. Just plain and simple copies the files that contain the settings that will create your customized profile when a new profile is created.

                                  So you could use this method to have one image with all your programs installed and use profiles to give access to only the programs needed to different departments.

                                  Or you could document what programs have shortcuts in each profile for each department and use fog groups to deploy the programs needed and then the profile provisioning style.

                                  I’m sure there are other methods to do this. For example there are some group policies that can be used. This is just my solution to the problem of customizing local profiles without breaking the profiles and while still allowing users to customize the profiles themselves.

                                  Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

                                    @Arrowhead-IT I’ve been trying to use the scripts you posted - lots of things going wrong.

                                    I sorted a permissions issue on the intended share first, but I’m still getting a lot of access denied errors… Suppose I need to dig deeper, run the script as elevated.

                                    My intention is to re-write this thing to be more simple. It’s highly complex I feel, and really overkill.

                                      @Wayne-Workman I do have a tendency to do that, complicating things and adding some overkill. You do need to run it as elevated because I think doing anything to the hidden C:\Users\Default folder requires elevation.

                                      The access denied errors are usually solved by copying the script to the C drive to run locally, which is why it copies itself to the C drive to run locally. Windows command prompt and network unc paths don’t always get along. The copySelf function was my solution.

                                          some quick notes. You do need to put your username and password in plain text for shares, unless you have shares that give everyone access. If anyone knows of a way to encrypt that, I’d love to hear it. I know it can be done with openssl in linux bash scripts but I am yet to find the equivalent for a batch script. But hey bash will come to windows 10 soon.

                                          This script hasn’t been tested for windows 7 or 8 profiles. It does detect the windows version because I was preparing to add that kind of functionality but since I am ending up moving completely to windows 10, I never put the work into it

                                          The create profile script prompts you for the name of the user profile you customized and asks you for what department/profile you are making it for.

                                          The Apply simply takes one arguement of the profile name. So you can upload just the one script to fog and make a bunch of snapins with different args for each profile you have to deploy.

                                          Also note that I have some extra app data folders for custom settings of specific programs we use. I left them in there as examples.

                                            @Wayne-Workman What if anything did you have to change?

                                            Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO
