I have been banging my head against a wall with this one...
I am using SCCM 2012 to deploy images. I have a VM with 8.1 Pro installed. I have removed some apps with Remove-AppxPackage and Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage. I have customized some settings and Start Screen tiles. After that I installed Office and ran updates. All of this was done under the Administrator profile.
After all of that I used the SCCM capture disk to get my wim. I then use SCCM to deploy that with an unattended file with nothing but the copy profile=true setting.
Every time this results in no settings being kept and an entirely blank Start Screen. If I deploy the image with no unattended file it copies down correctly.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I have exhausted all of my ideas on this one.
