I need some clarification on what exactly the capture task using sysprep and deploy task using sysprep do. If i take GSS out of the picture and im building a machine for imaging, I'll setup a unattend.xml for how i want the machine to be, execute sysprep.exe and point to my unattend.xml, reboot, capture the image. Boom, ready to deploy the image. when i deploy that image sysprep runs and i'm good to go.
I cant find info on what each GSS capture/deploy sysprep does? Any info would be appreciated.
Our base images are too convoluted to automate, so i need to build my base image and use a custom unattend.xml, but i'm not sure if i need to capture the image and check the capture with sysprep (what does that do?), then when i lay down do i say deploy with sysprep and point to my custom unattend? if so what did the capture sysprep do? Or do i bypass all of this and just sysprep the machine myself before capturing? So many questions, so little info that i can find in the user guide....
