how to copy default profile during sccm sysprep

[skinnyzaz]

I need to copy my local admin profile to the default profile so all new users get the settings. I know how to do it using sysprep and the copy command in the answer file. But how can I work this into sccm so it will sysprep with my answer file then capture the image for me?

So I tested it out and seems that it does everything but PIN Snipping tool to task bar. I belive IE is there by default.

It also does not keep the systray setting to always show.

Just do the following during the Build And Capture TS:

1. Run A Commandline: reg.exe LOAD HKU\Default %windir%\..\Users\Default\NTuser.dat
   
2. Run A Commandline: reg.exe ADD HKU\Default\Somekey /v SomeValueName /t REG_DWORD /d SomeValue /f
   
3. Run A Commandline: reg.exe UNLOAD HKU\Default
   

This has worked for me, basicly every user setting is stored somewhere in the registry, you just need to find them. Googling helps.

What I did which works perfectly, was install windows 7, but before it logs in to windows do the ctlr+shift+f3 on the welcome screen to reboot in to audit mode. Then install all your applications and prep the profile for user context configuration. Then before you capture the image with sccm. I made a clonezilla image to usb hard drive so that i could go back to it again without having to reinstall all the applications etc. Then i capture the image.

 

Once you have added the wim to the sccm and created the task sequence. I followed the information on this url to inject a copyprofile.xml file on to the task sequence. This then copied the profile that i made to the default profile location.

 

Go in to audit mode as per this forum post.

To enter Audit mode, press CTRL + SHIFT + F3 when this screen appears during the installation:




When Windows has rebooted to Audit Mode, close Sysprep GUI by clicking Cancel here:

Create copyprofile.xml package and add to the task sequence.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    </unattend>

 

The only things that get reset is the taskbar pinned items. I just used a VB login script that removes the pinned items and adds new ones.

Did you ever get this working and what are the steps?

 

I have made my reference machine but I can't get the sysprep part to work.

 

I think I have to add an unattend.xml file in the Apply Operating System step of my Deployment TS.

 

But it's asking for a package and filename.
