      I took a vm snapshot just before I sysprep, I am still trying to enter all the answerfile in order to have an automatic installation as I also would like to just keep the built in admin user enabled with a password and no other user configured on the system.

      in order to had it captured I selected the capture icon, forced the task to begin, waited 5 mins and as soon as I started the VM it went straight to imaging.

        @dijsil said in 70Pcs imaging all unbranded:

        forced the task to begin, waited 5 mins

        I’m not sure I understand about forcing a task to begin?? When you schedule a task for immediate execution the task should be running waiting for the target computer. It will sit and wait until the target checks in even if its 7 days latter it will be still waiting.

        As for the 5 minute wait. The task it launched immediately. There is no need to wait, schedule the capture and pxe boot that fast.

          @dijsil with the unattend.xml file, just fwiw, there are some pretty good online unattend.xml file generators like this one: http://www.windowsafg.com/ if you use one, just don’t include confidential information like license keys or anything that can personally identify your company. Make the data appropriately. What these tools do is give you a great baseline unattend.xml file to start your customization. The rest you can do by hand or with WAIK.

                not sure why but when deploying the image I am encountering this issue when joining the pc with domain.

                • after installing outlook it is freezing on opening page
                • installing sage same issue
                • when clicking on start and start typing the typing doesn’t come

                when logging in with local admin user everything works fine. sfc /scannow didn’t fix the issue, after deloying and doing sysprep again it is working fine, so I guess it has to do with the unattended file.

                I downloaded the file from: http://www.windowsafg.com/ and choose (Win10 MBR as my pcs are using Bios mode Legacy) and the only thing I amended was the first part so that it would copy the profile settings to the default profile

                      @sudburr thanks for the script seems to have fixed the issue, managed to get the pc to join to domain automatically, added apps to be installed using choclatey via snapin (script below just in case someone needs it) as each time the files are downloaded and will have always the latest versions installed with no intervention.
                      Also uninstalled windows assessment and deployment kit since I used the website to get the answer file

                      Got another question:

                      1- When using groups it doesn’t tell you what snapins are selected just the ones that are available any idea why and how to know which ones are selected?
                      2- When the software in the snippets is being installed in the background, can I install other software manually?
                      .
