So I have a VHD I created on a Windows 7 box. The VHD is another Windows 7 box, and I used DISKPART to create it, imagex to apply an install.wim to it, and I know the bcdedit stuff for booting to it. What I don't know is any applicable information about sysprep.
I have read the TechNet info about sysprep, in particular the /generalize option to remove any/all identifiers from the image you intend to deploy. But in this Native boot to VHD I am not sure where/if this is something I need to be concerned about considering I created the VHD i am going to boot to from a fresh install.wim file.
Can anyone provide any clarity on this for me? I am interested in finding a method to improve what I am doing in terms of auto-detect for the drivers/hardware on my computer, as the newly booted OS doesn't seem to find them, however I am not sure this relates to sysprep /generalize in any way. Thanks!
