Question : Modifying the unattend.xml file to add CopyProfile

We have set up a profile in windows with the home page, start menu items,  and so forth that we want copied to any new use that signs on to the pc. We are trying to follow the microsoft article " Article ID: 973289" which tells you to
"Set CopyProfile to true in the Unattend.xml file that you will use with Sysprep in the next step"

Can anyone give us all the steps on how to do that (add the copy profile to the unattend.xml file) using the AIK tool.

Thanks

Answer : Modifying the unattend.xml file to add CopyProfile

This is a solution I just came up with I have tested it several times and it works....

Do on your PC               
         This answer file can be reused as long as the NEW PC is created from the same Windows 7 DVD.

1.      Install the AIK on your PC.
2.      Copy install.wim and install_Windows 7 ENTERPRISE.clg to your temp directory from the sources folder on the Windows 7 DVD you used.
3.      Run AIK and open install.wim as the windows image file.
4.      Create a new answer file.
5.      In bottom let pane right click on the Microsoft-Windows-Shell_Setup and add setting to pass 4 specialize.
6.      Open 4 specialize in Middle Pane.
7.      Click on the Microsoft-Windows-Shell_Setup and in far right pane choose true for CopyProfile and enter ProductKey.
8.      Save Answer File to your temp directory as unattend.xml


Do on the NEW PC

1.      Install Windows 7 on the New PC and sign on as the administrator and set up pc the way you want it (Programs, Start Menu, Power Settings, Home Page&).
2.      Copy the unattend.xml to the NEW PC to the windows\system32\sysprep directory
3.      Run sysprep /generalize /unattend:unattend.xml from the sysprep directory while signed on as administrator. Choose Generalize and Shut Down.
4.      Write Ghost up to server.


This will produce a system independent image. Meaning you should be able to use it on any hardware, pc or laptop.
