Agree, but then there's posts like this:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/07/28/customizing-default-users-profile-using-copyprofile.aspx
 - The best part from this one, sadness for those of us that use ConfigMgr to 
build and capture:

  *   Use of CopyProfile with ConfigMgr
     *   Since ConfigMgr runs in the system context when building an image it 
is not possible to use it to copy customizations to default user
     *   One option is to use Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 to build your 
reference image and then deploy that image with ConfigMgr

And then there's this, which is much more recent, and makes CopyProfile seem 
pedestrian and easy!  :D

Sigh.  Why can't this process be easier?  Just a little?

No, we actually had to take that line out. We were using it initially to 
configure the default users profile.

Daniel, so all you did was add the copyprofile line to the unattend.xml file?

Yes!! I fought with this issue for weeks, had calls open with Microsoft and 
found the culprit to be two things:


1.       <copyprofile>True</copeprofile> in out unattend.xml, this copies the 
SYSTEM profile in Window 8 and by default the SYSTEM profile does not have any 
access to store apps

2.       AppLocker/Software Restriction policies leftover from Win7 GPOs were 
restricting apps from launching.

We are using ConfigMgr/MDT integrated and changing the two above items resolved 
our issues!

Subject: [MDT-OSD] Windows Store failing to start after imaging

I am having a strange issue with the Windows Store after deploying a MDT 2012 
Windows 8 image.  I deploy the image and after logging into the system the I 
cannot get the Windows Store to start.  The store just opens and then closes.  
I did not update any of the pre-installed Windows Metro apps before syspreping 
the system.   Did anyone have a similar issue with the Store?
