Build image using a VM (HyperV or ESX)
Quick image build
Allows you to take CheckPoint or SnapShot to recover, if sysprep fails

Create the initial default local user and ONLY logon as that user (ITAdmin)
Join the domain, but always logon locally with the ITAdmin account

Change settings – Advanced – Give updates for other MS products
Defer feature updates – please. (GPO discussed tomorrow)…
** Remove Checkbox for
Other MS products before
sysprep

9. Default Apps Settings > System > Default Apps

10. UAC Settings Change the UAC on the image
Will discuss in more detail in next session
Up 1 from bottom for App Store support
Talk about GPO later (tomorrow)
** Also turn off the firewall

11. UAC LEVEL 2 - Use for Windows 10
Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account = Disabled
Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop = Disabled
Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode = Prompt for consent for non-Windows binaries
Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users = Prompt for credentials
Detect application installations and prompt for elevation = Enabled
Only elevate executables that are signed and validated = Disabled
Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations = Enabled
Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode = Enabled
Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation = Disabled
Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations = Enabled

12. Start Menu – Looks Like 7 ClassicShell – www.classicshell.net
Customize using REGEDIT
HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu
add a string - MenuStyle_Default - set to one of these - Classic1,
Classic2 or Win7
"EnableExit"=dword:
"EnableExplorer"=dword:
"EnableSettings"=dword:
Windows 10 Changes for Image
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization
add - DWORD NoLockScreen and set its value to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
add - EnableFirstLogonAnimation DWORD - 0 to disable it.

13. Reg Add to Set the Menu Style
Create a batch with these “REG ADD” commands and run it
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization" /v NoLockScreen /t REG_DWORD /d 1
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v EnableFirstLogonAnimation /t REG_DWORD /d 0
REG ADD "HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu" /v MenuStyle_Default /t REG_SZ /d Classic1

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu" /v EnableExplorer /t REG_DWORD /d 0
REG ADD "HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu" /v EnableSettings /t REG_DWORD /d 0

14. Start Menu (Tiles) Customize the Start Menu Tiles
Remove most of the default tiles
Add tiles you want to use as a default “template”
Once completed – need to export
Open Powershell console as Admin
export-startlayout -path c:\download\startw10.xml
 import-startlayout –layoutpath c:\download\startw10.xml -mountpath c:\

15. New Start Menu (Tiles) Creator Edition Build 1703 / 1704
Customize the Start Menu Tiles
More Flexibility
Sub-Folders with Tiles

16. Final Clean-Up Remove App Store Apps before sysprep
Will cause sysprep to fail if not removed
Only need to remove for local (ITAdmin) account
Launch PowerShell as current user
Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackge
I normally run this 3 times

17. Deleting All Apps
If you wish to remove some or all App Store apps, then use this link as a reference
I use 4sysops.com and other specific sites for good Windows information

18. Prep the Image Take a SnapShot (ESX) or CheckPoint (HyperV)
Remove the App Store apps from the current user (only)
Launch PowerShell as the current user (Not Run as Admin)
Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage
Sysprep
C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep folder
Run Sysprep
Will shutdown once finished

19. Capture the Image PXE boot using the regular boot wim
At the first stop, press F8 (command prompt)
Go to the D: drive (actually the C: drive)
Delete the MININT folder
Del d:\minint /s /f /q
Rd d:\minint /s /q
Go to the Z: drive
Change to Z:\tools\x86
Run Imagex…
Imagex /capture d:\ z:\captures\W1064C wim “W1064C1607”
