Episode 39/40 – MDT 2012: Capturing a Reference Image – Part III
Yes! Another video dealing with MDT and capturing a reference image, the reason for this video is that I finally took the time to record how to keep the customize settings on a reference image and deploy it with the settings :).
create a folder in the C Drive & insert the “makedefaultuser.xml” file [*.xml file can be any name you want]
run this within command prompt: sysprep /generalize /oobe /unattend:c:\"location of the xml file"
Here is the xml file that I used in the video:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<unattend xmlns=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend”>
<settings pass=”specialize”>
