"NEW" settings ignored #41

Closed medo145 closed 2 months ago

Installed Win11 Enterprise 23H2 via WDS.

"Left-align the taskbar in Windows 11" Taskbar was center aligned.

Delete preset icons (like Edge, Explorer, Outlook, Microsoft Store) from the taskbar Edge icon on taskbar and start menu.

Hide Edge First Run Experience Edge first run questions popped up.

Every other customization seems to have applied properly. Any thoughts?

I have never used WDS. Also, I am unable to test with Windows 11 Enterprise at the moment because when I try to install from the 22631.2428.231001-0608.23H2_NI_RELEASE_SVC_REFRESH_CLIENTENTERPRISEEVAL_OEMRET_x64FRE_en-us.iso evaluation image in VMware, Windows Setup repeatedly fails with this error message: “Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms.”

Anyway, the new settings should produce these commands in your autounattend.xml file:

<Path>powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command "Get-Content -LiteralPath 'C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\DeleteTaskbarIcons.ps1' -Raw | Invoke-Expression;"</Path>
<Path>reg.exe add "HKU\DefaultUser\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v TaskbarAl /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f</Path>
<Path>reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /v HideFirstRunExperience /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f</Path>

Make sure that these commands are there. Or better, attach your autounattend.xml here.

I have now tested this with the 26100.1.240331-1435.ge_release_CLIENT_ENTERPRISES_OEM_x64FRE_en-us.iso image (24H2) and a valid Enterprise key – the “NEW” settings work flawlessly. They have also worked with the publicly available Win11_23H2_English_x64v2.iso image.

If there is a problem, I believe it is related to WDS, which I will not dive into.
