If your computer has a static IP address configured, specify that the address should be obtained automatically from a DHCP server. You can do that in the network adapter settings. You can use an answer file together with the System Preparation Sysprep tool. It allows configuring unattended Windows Setup settings. This step is optional used to automatically specify various parameters that must be configured when the image is at first run.
You can skip this step, and go straight to the step of capturing a Windows image. The answer file may contain the answer to each question. This must be selected when installing Windows and choosing the initial settings region, language, product key, keyboard, account, and privacy setting, etc. Follow the steps during the out-of-box experience OOBE. You can create an answer file manually this is simple XML. Run the adksetup. You will need install. You can copy the install.
If only the install. SIM will need you to specify a Windows image file for which you want to create an answer file. Specify the path to the before installed install. Wait for the SIM to mount the Windows installation image and create the catalog file.
When we open the install. Unzip the WSIM Select your Windows 10 edition. If there is only one edition of Windows in your install. Using WSIM, you can configure various parameters of the answer file. For example, you can configure the Windows product key if you are using KMS or MAK keys , time zone, organization and owner info, default language and region settings, input locales, etc. A fresh install vs a Sysprep will take a little longer because of the installers but you get the benifit of more quickly replacing or adding an app.
Besides, the K allows you to just set it and forget it until it is done so I don't see a difference between me coming back to pick up the unit in 15 minutes vs 30 minutes. Also, with the scripted installs you can do things like force down the windows updates at the end automatically and end up with a fully patched system.

Years ago I spent a great deal of time learning about sysprep but I was not too successful. We tend to create different images for different models of computers and have gotten by without using sysprep. Is that a big mistake? We now have Kace version 3.
Jane Asked 7 years ago views. I guess it depends how many machines you deploy. And how often they need re-imaging. And how many different models you have. But most importantly, you appear to have missed the very last paragraph of that article. Sysprep does more than just run NewSID and is still considered best practice for imaging. So you don't really want to run that on your "golden image".
Instead sysprep should be a part of the deployment process so every NEW machine gets sysprepped after the image is applied. What are the issues that you are encountering?
We do know that Sysprep stands for System Preparation right? PCS is an IT service provider. I wanted to do a sysprep with the Anniversary update installed.
I think that is my issue Gary. I am seeing failures in my sysprep error log referencing a failed cleanup process. I need to find the windows 10 image with the Anniversary update included or I will try to build the image with the previous build then push the Anniversary update across the network.
I am unable to sysprep these laptops with Windows 10 Ent. When I run sysprep I get an error How can I sysprep them? I encourage you to read not only Russinovich's posts but the reader comments as well.
If you are thinking, "But It's like a fundamental truth has been shattered. Despite this myth-shattering turn, I'm not suggesting that you don't use Sysprep. Regardless of the overblown security issue, the fact remains that Sysprep resets many different internal aspects of a system and is required for support by Microsoft.
Without it, you may have problems with certain applications functioning properly. Yes, Sysprep can be a pain to use, but you can get past that. Follow J.
