Hello. &nbsp;I am trying to configure an unattend.xml file to run with Sysprep as we deploy Windows 7 to physical desktops using Symantec Ghost. &nbsp;I have three more items I need to configure, either with the unattend file or with a group policy.<br />
<br />
1) After the first boot up, the Set Network Location box comes up. &nbsp;How can I force this to automatically pick Work network without prompting.<br />
2) By default, certain apps get pinned to the Start Menu, like Calculator, Paint, Sticky Notes, etc. &nbsp;We want those items to be unpinned, but if I unpin them and then run sysprep, they come back. &nbsp;Is there a way to prevent them from coming back?<br />
3) I know how to set a computer name, and how to have a random name get generated, but how can I configure this to be more specific? &nbsp;For this, I do not mind if it prompts once during the first boot up for a computer name. &nbsp;Even better, if I can pick a starting name and have it increment or read from a list of names. &nbsp;Maybe this can be done using a script or something after the device has booted up?<br />
<br />
Thank you.
