Phil can you send some sample scripts that I could update for my environment?

I spend a lot of time in my previous gig customizing the default user profile using CopyProfile. In all of the Windows image build/OSD implementations I’ve done in the past two years, I haven’t used it once as I was able to do everything with scripts and GPP. -Phil _________________________________________________________________ Phil Schwan | Technical Architect, Enterprise Windows Services Project Leadership Associates | 2000 Town Center, Suite 1900, Southfield, MI 48075 Lync: 312.756.1626 Mobile: 419.262.5133 www.projectleadership.net<http://www.projectleadership.net/> [Description: Description: Description: Arrow email]Lead with Strategy.

I’m interested to see what changes you are making, that can’t be done post image deployment or via registry settings injected during the imaging process.

Once configured, you will need to add the CopyProfile tag in your unattend.xml file. You can check out this post for a bit better explanation. http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/43/How-CopyProfile-really-works-in-Windows-7-Deployments.aspx Sent from my iPhone On Apr 21, 2014, at 2:39 PM, "Iacaruso, Mike" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I created a Windows 8.1 reference image that will be used in my MDT 2013 deployment. I created a user during the OS installation that was used to configure Windows settings like wallpaper, screen saver and other explorer options. I have read that I can use the CopyProfile command that will copy the user profile to the Default profile. Do I use this command during the deployment task sequence or does it have to be used during the image capture process? Is there a better way of doing what I am trying to accomplish?
