Generate Tones By Frequency Software. Answer File. Following on from my popular post regarding Windows 7 deployments using sysprep I needed to find out what the differences were  for Windows 8.

Close this box DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS as this will activate the sysprep process and you may need to reinstall. Now install any Windows Updates and deployment wide programs such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Flash Player, Java, printer drivers etc. You can restart if required because you will automatically be logged back into this temporary built in administrator account. You will be stuck in this audit mode until sysprep is run later in the process.

Why W8. Install Windows ADK on any compatible system, this doesnt need to be your base image system in fact it is better not to, however you can uninstall it after creating your unattend.
