Answer files allow you specify various setup options, including how to partition disks, the location of the Windows image to install, and the product key to apply. Values that apply to the Windows installation, such as the names of user accounts, display settings, and Internet Explorer Favorites can also be specified.
The answer file for Setup is typically called Unattend. Unattend files include several sections, each of which are processed at different times throughout the Windows installation process.
These phases are called configuration passes. Here are the most often-used passes:. A full list of answer file settings also known as Unattend settings is in the Unattended Windows Setup reference.
Make sure that your answer settings include the required settings as outlined in the OEM Policy Document. Catalog files. The catalog file appears in the Windows Image pane.
Windows SIM lists the configurable components and packages in that image. In this section, we'll show you how to create an answer file that can configure settings when you deploy your Windows image. Before you start, create a folder called Panther in your mounted Windows image. Windows will automatically look in this folder for an answer file. Create a bit color image with a maximum size of x pixels.
Using the same unattend. Determine available editions by running the following command to determine what images you can upgrade the image to:. In recovery scenarios, Windows doesn't automatically save settings created through with answer files, Windows Start Menu customizations created with LayoutModification. Troubleshoot: If you cannot see winre. Based on the size of the new winre. The amount of free space left is after you copy winre. See the below disk partition rules for more information.
Where C is the drive letter of the drive that contains the image. This process may take several minutes. Finish optimizing your image by exporting the image.
During the export process, DISM removes files that were superseded and the image will have a reduced file size. Export the Windows image into a new image file:. You now have a customized Windows image that you can deploy to other PCs. In the next section, we'll show you how to deploy the image to your reference PC, make online changes, and then finalize the Windows image to get it ready for final deployment.
In this section we'll deploy an image to a PC so that it can be customized in Audit mode. Before you start this section:. Make sure the sample scripts are in the Deployment folder on your USB drive. Run a script to create partitions and apply your image. We'll use applyimage. This script and the subscripts it calls must be placed in the same subfolder. You can update these scripts to change the partition sizes as you desire. If you're going to be capturing and deploying your final image as an FFU, choose the options to not configure recovery.
This allows you to expand the Windows partition, if needed, after you apply your FFU. You can configure recovery after you expand the Windows partition. Only use compact OS on Flash drive based devices as compact OS performance is heavily dependent on the storage device capabilities.
Please reference Compact OS for more information. The PC should boot into Windows Audit mode based on the settings of the unattend file we created earlier. If you're not using an unattend. Add the following registry key to define the location for the TaskbarLayoutModification. You can use audit mode to customize Windows using the familiar Windows environment.
In audit mode, you can add Windows desktop applications, change system settings, add data, and run scripts. To make sure your audit mode changes are included in the recovery image, you'll need to capture these changes into a provisioning package using ScanState. This package gets used by the system recovery tools to restore your changes if things go wrong.
You can optionally save drive space by running the applications directly from the compressed recovery files; this is known as single-instancing. If you want to capture the changes in an image and apply it to other devices, you'll need to use Sysprep to generalize the image.
We don't recommend connecting your PC to the internet during manufacturing, and also don't recommend isntalling updates from Windows Update in audit mode because it will likely generate an error during sysprep. Earlier in the lab, we upgraded the edition from Windows Home to Windows Professional.
Verify this change:. Through Windows and the Microsoft Store, you have tremendous opportunities for brand and device differentiation, revenue creation, and customer access. Microsoft Store apps are at the center of the Windows experience.

It reduces the need for custom recovery applications by providing users with more recovery options and the ability to fix their own PCs with confidence. In this section, you'll create a configuration file that will restore files and registry keys during Push-button reset. Create a migration XML file used to restore registry values manually entered during manufacturing process.
Copy and paste the following xml into Notepad. For Push Button Reset to work properly, packages have to be. Make sure that copies of you unattend. During the deployment winre. Before capturing a final image, the backup winre.
In this section, we'll use sysprep. We'll show you how to finalize and capture a factory image for mass deployment. To start this section, make sure your reference machine is shutdown after running sysprep in the previous section. You won't be able to capture a stable and generalized image if any of the configuration passes have completed.
If either of those passes have completed, you'll need To generalize the image again. In Audit mode, run the Sysprep command from above. Make sure that the USB has a higher boot priority than the internal hard drive. Note what letter it is has been assigned under the "Ltr" column Example: C.
This is the USB key's drive letter. Only do this step if you are deploying to a device with limited storage. Single instancing impacts the launch performance of some desktop applications. See Compact OS for more information.
To reduce the size of your ScanState recovery packages, run the following command from WinPE on your reference device:. In this section, we'll tell you how to capture your sysprepped image. This is the drive letter that needs to be used. Capture the image of the windows partition to your USB drive. This process takes several minutes. In this step we'll create scratchdir on the USB drive key for temporary files, but you can choose any hard drive with available space for your scratch directory.
This captures an image called CustomImage. When the image capture is complete, you can shut down your reference PC. With your image captured, you can skip to Verify your final image.
