Custom Sysprep
• To enable capturing of the image using WDM/USB Imaging tool, by performing the desired set of activities to congure the client using
the script.
• This allows you to have your own custom build, with the inbox features and application intact.
• For example, using a custom wallpaper on the builds or installing a custom application which suces your business needs or maybe
some additional congurations or a combination of any.
Application of Custom Sysprep:
• After a master image with the desired congurations are made, you can trigger Custom Sysprep, which allows you to capture the
master image and deploy it on multiple or all clients in your organization.
• You can also choose to follow the Host Name Calculation feature of ash.sys or disable that option and have yourown nomenclature
scheme for your clients.
• Since the current Imaging solution takes a lot of time to capture and push a disk of larger size( Wyse 7040 has a minimum conguration
of 128 GB SSD), you need to shrink the Windows volume and then trigger the customizations. Shrink option should be done in Write
Filter disabled state and Optimize drives service should be enabled before performing shrink operation.
• After completition of the Custom Sysprep scripts, the client shutdowns and upon boot up Merlin Kernel load by default. This is done in
the anticipation that the next task in the sequence is an image pull only. In case there are no WDM servers or USB imaging solutions
available, the Merlin Kernel resets Windows as rst boot.
Cong Manager Sysprep
• To capturing the image using SCCM, you must congure the client rst by performing the desired set of activities using the script.
• You can use Cong Manager Sysprep to handle Wyse/Dell partition structures and Image deployment through SCCM setup.
• Sysprep is not triggered on the image. Actual Sysprep will be performed by the SCCM task sequence.
