Lab Scenario
The first batch of Windows 7 computers has arrived. As
part of the deployment process, you need to migrate user settings from existing Windows XP computers to the new Windows 7 computers. organization. To do this you are creating a reference image of Windows 7 that can be applied to other computers. The image is generalized by using Sysprep. process for new images. Eventually, this process will be automated. In this test run, you are ensuring that you have the correct syntax for all of the commands used to start the capture of user settings from the old computer, apply the reference image to the new computer, and then apply user settings to the new computer.
Lab Review
Why do you use Sysprep before capturing an image? Why is Windows PE required as part of the imaging
process?
