I have been getting conflicting opinions on this whenever I try to search for it on the web. I am going to be making a master image of one computer and then deploying it to roughly ~200 other systems. In my unattend.xml I have not set the option to skip rearm, because I need to make sure the image I deploy runs as OOBE for the new workstations.
If I make sure to create a pre-sysprep image and upload it to FOG, do I need to worry about setting my unattend.xml to skip rearm. I’m just trying to think in advance in case I ever need to do Windows updates on a massive scale, other software deployments, etc. - I can just install the master image on a machine, make the changes or updates I need, and then re-deploy it without ever having to worry about my sysprep count ever going over 3?
I should note the reason I would need to do it this way is because we don’t have any other sort of software deployment options at this location using AD or something like that. In the past I have been doing software installs using psexec, but I know this wouldn’t be ideal for some software packages.
