Hi, before i try this please ensure the following: 1. I install the reference Computer and customize it. 2. I create and place a unattend.xml file into the sysprep folder of my reference PC. I start running sysprep with generalzize switch and shutdown the PC. 3. I boot the PC and SCCM start the Task Sequence once it has been detected by PXE Boot 4. SCCM will capture the Image and i save it. 5. I use the captured image and install it onto a new PC. Once the new PC starts it should have my customized settings?

Thank You. I will try asap. I dont understand why this is so complicated but anyway i will try and give response soon. :-) kind regards Rico Bauer

Hi, i'm using SCCM 2007 SP2 R2 to deploy Windows 7. First i installed Win7 on a reference PC + installed Office and downloaded Patches. Finally i customized the logged on user and used the unattend.xml file with the "copyprofile" parameter in order to apply my desktop customizations to the default user profile. (sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:unattend.xml). Next after shutdown i start from PXE and run a capture task sequence. So far everything OK. Now i apply my image to a new PC (erease disk, apply OS, apply Configuration Manager Client, apply software and drivers and join domain). When i log on to the PC with a new user (domain user) my customized default profile is not used because SCCM for some reason has reset my changes (i dont know how) and also if i check the local user (the user were i made these changes) this profile also has been reset by SCCM. What is the process to customize the default user profile and apply it succesfully to new PC's? Any advice hint or trick? best regards, Rico
