Anything other than copyprofile set to true in a sysprep unattend.xml file will 
lead to a disaster that will haunt you for months.

You will end up with registry keys for your users that show their desktops and 
folders set up as   c:\users\LocalAdminThatYouUsed\desktop for example. Instead 
of %username%\desktop. It will be ugly and you will have to redo them all. 
There will be hidden little gems of disaster like that all over the place.

I know this, really I do. First hand.

WIA toolkit/sysprep/unattend.xml is not fun. But once you get one of them 
right, you will be all done and you can move on.

Subject: Windows 7 Copy Default Profile

Anyone have a quick and proven method (read: script) to copy the finalized 
local administrator's profile to the Default User profile in Windows 7 x86 ?

I really don't want to use the WIA toolkit and last time I tried to sysprep 
using /generalize /unattend:<my unattend.xml file> it didn't work for me as 
expected.

I'm guessing and hoping there is a much simpler way.

Thanks,

Harry.
