Set to static size (1.5x-2x RAM installed).  Do this early in the install process so the pagefile is not fragmented (preferably right after OOBE boot).  Consider defragmenting disk before setting static pagefile.  Consider no pagefile on high RAM/SSD only machines? (jury is out…)

SysPrep: Unattended Answer File

−
The Unattended Answer file will be used by SysPrep to setup the computer during the first boot after the SysPrep image has been created.  It can do things like copy a prepared profile (desktop environment) to the default profile, setup standard accounts (J-Group, Administrators) and passwords, automatically agree to the End User License Agreement (ELUA), etc.  Detailed below are the options that will be used for the J-Group Unattended Answer file.  This file is created using the Microsoft Automated Install Kit’s(AIK) System Image Manager (SIM).

<DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS HERE>
 
−
SysPrep: Booting to Audit Mode
 
−
After completing the base install, preforming Microsoft updates, and installing 3rd party packages SysPrep will be entered in Audit mode to setup the user environment, enter the Product license key and prepare the system for generalization and imaging.
 
−
<DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS HERE>
 
−
SysPrep: Generalizing the Install
 
−
This step “generalizes” the system and is the last step before creating a deployable image file.  This will be accomplished with the sysprep command.  You will use the /oobe and /shutdown options.  It will cause the system to run a driver check, run the OOBE (Out of Box Experience), and regenerate the computer’s Security Identifier (SID) upon the next boot. This is why you must use the shutdown option. After completing this step, the system should be booted with an external boot device (CD/DVD/USB), and the system should be imaged.  This step uses the unattended answer file to store information that will make the next boot into the OOBE more seamless.  Everything should be automated except the operator will be asked to enter the computer's name.
 
−
<DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS HERE>
 
−
Creating the Image File
 
−
Disk Imaging software such as Acronis True Image (paid) or AOEMI Backupper (free) can be used to create a deployable image of the computer after completion of the generalization step.  The Image file will be stored on an external hard drive, though it can be split to CD or DVD sized chunks.  The number of disks will depend on the amount of 3rd party software installed and is currently around 13 DVDs.
 
−
<DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS HERE>
 
−
Deploying Image file to another machine
 
−
Using the external boot device (CD/DVD/USB stick) and the image stored on the external hard drive, the Deployable Image file can be installed on another computerer. This process should be relatively quick (30min to an hour), and the computer will be ready to boot to the OOBE setup.
 
−
<DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS HERE>
 
−
Post image deployment cleanup/setup
 
−
After the OOBE setup runs, there may be a few things that still need to be cleaned up manually (creation of “pin to taskbar” items that were not stored in the default profile, selection of the default screen resolution, etc).  Once this is done, the computer is ready to be turned over to the new user.
