OS Deployment - Imaging via SCCM

We have a master image created using Acronis. It contains Win10, MS Office, a few browsers and applications installed on it. Now, we want to bring in that image into SCCM which we will be using from now on instead of Acronis. My question is should we sysprep that image even though it will be push onto the same PC hardware/model ? how would you guys go about this? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I say this with the utmost respect...abandon your thick image and learn how to capture and deploy a thin image using Task Sequences and SCCM applications and packages. You may want to reference the App Deployment Toolkit and MDT integration with your SCCM environment.

Done correctly using SCCM a task sequence will take care of the SysPrep process for you:

I would start with AnyWeb's massive collection of System Center Guides at windows-noob:

Particularly:

Standalone Primary Server -> Part 7. and Part 8. (Assuming you have not deployed a CAS)

These should go over some preliminary information with regards to the proper way to create a base image and task sequence to deploy Windows 10.
