    Man, this is SO much better than capturing an image using WDS, with their stupid network drivers that have to be injected in every image. I work in a pretty small company where I only have to install like 6 laptops in a month, so i’m totally gonna try this, and after that make a offline installation of the .wim file on a usb stick to install the other laptops, thanks!!

    Hi, I am trying to make a capture. But have some troubles. I have opened Lite Touch.vbs -> made a choice in Task Sequence menu, but after clicking Next button, there is no choice Capture Image. Just Credentials. Where could be a problem? Thank you

    Problem solved.
    Just change the CustomSettings.ini and Bootstrap.ini files for your deployment share to this values:

    CustomSettings.ini
    [Settings]

    Priority=Default

    Properties=MyCustomProperty

    [Default]

    OSInstall=Y

    SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES

    SkipCapture=NO

    SkipAdminPassword=YES

    SkipProductKey=YES

    BootStrap.ini:

    [Settings]

    Priority=Default

    [Default]

    DeployRoot=\\SEA-DC1\DeploymentShare$

    Ran issue at running the LiteTouch.vbs script
    Process stops when it’s trying to sysprep the donor PC.

    Error describes that the PC from where I run the script (the donor PC) is part of the domain and that sysprep can’t run on a PC that is part of the domain.

    Do you have any feedback on this on how to fix this?
