It is recommended by Microsoft (in there own help file: Microsoft Windows
Corporate Deployment Tools User's Guide) to delete these two files before
imaging to optimize the image. Considering these are very large files I
would certianly agree. I could likely make may image fit on 1 less cd if I
am not including these files in the image.
But how do I safely delete them before imaging? I would need to be able to
delete them, then run sysprep which automatically shuts the computer down
after completing.
The only thing I can think of is running sysprep first then after the system
shuts down take out the hard drive and plug it in as a secondary drive in
another system, delete the files from there, then put it back into the
original for imaging, in my case, or a disk duplicating machine if you have
one. Was the wording in ms's help file just misleading? or just not detailed
enough? because it leads me to believe I can just delete these file and then
image.
any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
