[Why are my default user profille taskbar settings lost after syspreppi]

haha then we are having the exact same problem.

[Custimized Default Profile - Taskbar not working]

I am building a base image for windows 7 and doing the default user stuff and its working mostly fine but i am seeing that editing the new Taskbar doesnt carry over when the image is captured and deployed.

my first thought was <DoNotCleanTaskBar>true</DoNotCleanTaskBar> had to be set in both the capture and deploy xmls. this didnt help (it was already set by default in MDT)

So I was hoping for some help

thanks

I had this issue too.

When you sysprep you have to have <CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile> in the unattend.xml

As well you need ot have that in your answer file when deploying the captured wim. the machine waking up form sysprep wont have an answer file so it wont use the admin account as the default user.

This is from the WAIK help file

Note:

If you capture an image after the generalize phase of Windows Setup has completed (that is, after step 4 in the procedure earlier in this topic), and you use that image to install Windows with an explicit Unattend.xml answer file passed to Setup.exe, then the explicit Unattend.xml answer file must have CopyProfile set to true, otherwise the customized user profile will not be copied over the default user profile.

also i dont think you need to delete the default user folder.

My issue now that this is working for me but it is not bringing over the customized taskbar prepopulated with a couple things like Outlook and Word.

<DoNotCleanTaskBar>true</DoNotCleanTaskBar> i would have thought would have handled it but doesnt seem to effect it in anyway.
