I should add that I was using the Import-StartLayout command as part of a Config Manger Task Sequence – so what I’m seeing is that layout xml file not being applied. I’m making an assumption that it’s because I’ve used CopyProfile but obviously I haven’t done any further testing so it really could be anything.

It can be run at any point prior to a user logging in for the first time; if you import a new layout after the user’s profile has been established, they won’t see the changes. I prefer to avoid CopyProfile whenever possible; Import-StartLayout doesn’t require it.

I’ve also tried all the available vbs and powershell scripts (that I could find) and these appear not to work either. I’ve also noted that when you use copy profile you can capture a customised start menu and this will be applied for new users logging on for the first time. However if you then try and use the Import-StartLayout command to add a custom start menu, those changes do not appear. I’m not sure if this is just affecting me or if others have noticed this behaviour. I haven’t had time to go back and capture a new image with copy profile turned off to see if the using the Import-StartLayout option then works under that scenario.

Has anyone done that before? Unattends on Windows 10 can now go up to 6 items (I haven't gotten that to work yet, but that's the word on the street) but they can't do the 7th, CopyProfile didn't copy over the pinned items, and the trusty com object scripts used in Windows 7 and 8 no longer work in Windows 10: https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/1609288/pin-to-taskbar-no-longer-working-in-windows-10 So, what's left to get that 7th item pinned? I'm not too concerned about suggesting the start menu instead of the task bar, but I want to make sure there's no automated way to do it. ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER The information in this transmission may be confidential and/or protected by legal professional privilege, and is intended only for the person or persons to whom it is addressed.
