A windows automation tool to create new images. PrepSys installs programs, sets windows settings, joins domain, copys profile, defrags, etc. All settings configurable from GUI.

Features

  • Join Domain
  • Install unattended applications using switches/autoinstalls
  • Set windows settings
  • Copy Working Profile to Default Profile
  • Set Background
  • Defragment
  • Copys sysprep to c:\sysprep and launches
  • Save and Load all settings based on INI file
  • Set PrepSys to AutoLaunch/AutoRun on next boot (I use this for the computers first boot after being deployed, to run a join domain ini)
  • Open Source (AutoIt Scripting Language - http://www.autoitscript.com)
