From the research I have done, I figured that nLite was probably not a viable solution, but thought that someone may have some helpful information or know about other tools that have similar features. As for the question as to what sysprep is. Sysprep is freely available software, provided by Microsoft, that allows you to deploy a customized Windows installation. It also has features for performing the install silently, or unattended. When you buy a new computer that already has Windows installed, you'll notice that the setup wizard that you go through is different then the one that you go through if you install Windows yourself. That is caused by sysprep.

Hi, I have an already built and syspreped Windows installation that I would like to slim down. The sysprep works fine but it is very large and I would like to remove what I can. With that in mind, I was wondering if it is possible to slim down an already existing installation (or sysprep) of Windows with nLite, or if there may be an alternative that will do this. I would go back and start from scartch with nLite, but I'm not the one that builds the sysprep image. That is handled by another group and I must deal with it as is, only adding the software that is specific to my group. Any suggestions on how to remove unnecessary data would be appreciated. -Daniel
