You can also deploy the boot partition separately from the Windows partition.
In this case, you manually deploy the boot partition to every desktop. That means physically walking up to each desktop, starting it with a Ghost boot disk, and using multicast to write the boot partition to the computer. Then, you can remotely load each computer with the Windows partition using Ghost Console.
Ghost works well with Windows , but there are a few things you should know before using it:. Ghostwalker, the program that changes each computer's SID so that it is unique on the network, does not work on native-mode domains.
That also means that you can't use Ghost to join a computer to the domain. This is a bit of a spoiler, preventing you from gaining the benefits of using Ghostwalker to completely automate deployment on native-mode domains. Stay in mixed-mode if you can. Although I've not been able to verify that this is a problem, Symantec states that it very well could be a problem. No easy answers for this one. The only solutions for the preceding two problems is to not use Ghostwalker with Windows Sysprep will handle the SID change properly in Windows , even with native mode.
In my next article , I talk a bit about deploying user settings. There are many different ways to deploy user settings, and some are better than others.

Customize Windows by adding drivers, changing settings, and installing programs. Don't install any Microsoft Store apps using the Microsoft Store. Run Sysprep from Command Prompt. See Sysprep command-line options to see available options. After the computer shuts down, capture your image with DISM. Deploy this image to a reference computer.
When the reference computer boots, it displays the OOBE screen. If you use multiple unattend files during your computer deployment, you can add the following settings to your each of your unattend files so Windows Setup will generalize the PC after processing the unattend file.

These tools are freely available from Microsoft. Many 3rd party tools also offer image capture and deployment that might work better for your deployment strategy. Choose the tool that is right for your device scenario.
For a fully automated approach to these steps consider using the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise deployment framework. Complete at least Lab 1a. This lab covers how to capture the image you created.
See Get the tools you need for more information. In lab 1a you put the system into audit mode, which is a special setup mode where a device maker can pre-install software and configure settings on a reference IoT device. When you've made your customizations in audit mode, you can capture an image of your customized reference device. While audit mode isn't specifically required, it does provide a scenario where the IoT device can be customized online prior to OOBE.
While booted into audit mode on the reference IoT device, run Sysprep from an Administrative Command Prompt to prepare the image for capture:. After Sysprep prepares the image, the reference device will shut down.
