Sysprep

Recovered from the older tannerjc.net wiki snapshot dated January 23, 2016.

• http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721973%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

• /generalize

Prepares the Windows installation to be imaged. If this option is specified, all unique system information is removed from the Windows installation. The security ID (SID) resets, any system restore points are cleared, and event logs are deleted.

The next time the computer starts, the specialize configuration pass runs. A new security ID (SID) is created, and the clock for Windows activation resets, if the clock has not already been reset three times.

• /oobe

Restarts the computer into Windows Welcome mode. Windows Welcome enables end users to customize their Windows operating system, create user accounts, name the computer, and other tasks. Any settings in the oobeSystem configuration pass in an answer file are processed immediately before Windows Welcome starts.

• /shutdown

Shuts down the computer after Sysprep completes.

SetupComplete.cmd
