Confidence in Windows 10 (Sysprep with copyprofile breaks Edge, IE and Cortana)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Thought I'd do some testing with the latest creators update on Windows Pro 10 (Build 1703).

 

Installed on a test PC, added some applications in audit mode and sysprepped the machine with copyprofile.

 

Restarted and everything looking good until I added another local user.

 

Logged in as the new user and Edge, IE and Cortana broken and keyboards working intermittently. Machine generally unresponsive when logged into second local account.

 

After some hours thinking I'd done something wrong I came across this:

Seems you need to clear the new Windows 10 webcache or the default profile will be broken.

 

del /F /Q C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCacheLock.dat

del /F /Q C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\*.*

del /F /Q C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\*.*

 

What testing do Microsoft actually do to release software which breaks in such a basic scenario and claim you can setup a classroom in an hour ?

This is why I've moved to a completely thin image method now with MDT. Deploy from the original WIM file only, avoids the complications that seem to come with sysprep / capture of a "gold" image with Win10

when i did some testing of earlier versions of 10 i would build a profile under the local administrator account via audit mode after capturing with MDT i would mount the wim file and clear temp files and caches (even after running the c:\ drive clean up) this provided me with a clean base for users.

But with each "update" they seem to introduce other issues which is frustrating

Have you moved away from ZENWorks entirely or just for your image deployment?
