    hi,

    I have a enterpised build of windows 32bit.

    I customized the win 7 build. Copy my default profile

    Captured it using Image X

    Created an autounattend anserfile

    Full Deployment automatically from usb stick

    But,  I made some changes to the build before I captured the final  image, & Copied the profile to the default profile, and re ran all the steps above

    Like Disable Sound

    Win 7 Visual effects

    Disable shock wave updates etc

    For some strange reason these are not been applied.  when I deploy the new build.

    Any Help would be greatly appreciated

    You do not manually have to copy a profile to the default user, the only recommended way of doing this is do the customizations for the administrator account. Sysprep and capture image. In unattend when deploying the image, make sure to set CopyProfile=TRUE. That will copy the administrator profile to the default user profile at installation time.

    Generally speaking, there are two unattended files used in WDS. One for the Windows Deployment Services UI screens, and one for the later phases of Setup.Please visit the following guide to specific the unattended files in WDS.

    Meanwhile, I would like to share with following documents.
