@stucraster I have a tutorial around moving your imaging files off the root partition here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11048/moving-fog-s-images-files-off-the-root-partition-2017-edition

Usefull commands are lsblk to show block devices (i.e. storage devices) and df -h to show mounted disks.

Here is what my unattend.xml looks like. I have made some redactions and comments to help out. I made mine using Windows System Image Manager. This is one of many webpages I used to learn about building my unattend file (and lots of trial and error): https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3020-customize-windows-10-image-audit-mode-sysprep.html

@stucraster You can ignore it or make changes to it. I don’t know if sysprep will disable the admin account or not. But the unattend.xml and setupcomplete.cmd files are the way to tweak the final OS to have the features you need. These files would be dropped into place just before you run sysprep. Actually when I build my reference image, I have a batch script that copies the files into the right location and then calls sysprep to ensure everything is in the right spot each time I rebuild the reference image.
