A generalized ISO image without any pre-set user accounts, with pre-installed software, desktop, File Explorer and Start customizations will be created.Creating a customized ISO image with pre-installed software and no user accounts I wanted to re-post this article here showing the steps I took to create the customized image by creating a VM in Hyper-V and then converting that completed image to an ISO that could be downloaded and utilized for the installation. I found this great article that details the process. So, I began looking for a way to create a customized ISO for the build that would already have apps, settings, and customizations installed. Since the onboarding process was quickly moving, I needed to find a way to help streamline the process so the others would not have to go through all the mess I went through to get everything setup. The issue was getting the correct build of Windows 10 and getting the proper apps installed in an efficient manner. So, after going through a couple of re-images of my laptop with some failures attached to that, I finally was able to get the process down so that time would not be waisted for the oncoming new hires once they received their laptop.
The issue was that all of our laptops came with Windows 10 Professional and we needed to upgrade them to Enterprise edition.Īfter finding a working key for Enterprise Edition, we were still having issues joining the MS Azure domain so that we could get all of the needed software properly to being onboarding with Microsoft. All of the new FTCs received laptops and needed to have the newest build of Windows 10 installed.
I’ve been currently assisting with onboarding at my new Full Time Contractor position at Microsoft.
