However, the reference image is created on a virtual platform, before being automatically run through the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool process and captured to a Windows Imaging (WIM) file. The reasons for creating the reference image on a virtual platform are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"unordered\">You reduce development time and can use snapshots to test different configurations quickly.<\/li>\n<li class=\"unordered\">You rule out hardware issues. You simply get the best possible image, and if you have a problem, it\u2019s not likely to be hardware related.<\/li>\n<li class=\"unordered\">It ensures that you won\u2019t have unwanted applications that could be installed as part of a driver install but not removed by the Sysprep process.<\/li>\n<li class=\"unordered\">It\u2019s easy to move between lab, test, and production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/msdn.microsoft.com\/library\/windows\/hardware\/dn927348(v=vs.85).aspx\">https:\/\/msdn.microsoft.com\/library\/windows\/hardware\/dn927348(v=vs.85).aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/dn744290.aspx\">https:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/dn744290.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/deploymentbunny.com\/2014\/06\/05\/nice-to-know-get-rid-of-all-junk-before-sysprep-and-capture-when-creating-a-reference-image-in-mdt\/\">http:\/\/deploymentbunny.com\/2014\/06\/05\/nice-to-know-get-rid-of-all-junk-before-sysprep-and-capture-when-creating-a-reference-image-in-mdt\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This video demo by David Papkin shows how to build a Windows 10 reference image<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uhl_q6NFFkk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This concludes\u00a0This post by David Papkin Building a Windows 10 Reference Image from Windows ADK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post by David Papkin is about\u00a0Building a Windows 10 Reference Image from Windows ADK Creating a reference image is important because that image serves as the foundation for the devices in your organization. &nbsp; This image should be pristine,&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,8,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-david-papkin","category-microsoft","category-windows-10"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidpapkin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidpapkin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidpapkin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidpapkin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidpapkin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/davidpapkin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1527\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidpapkin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidpapkin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidpapkin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
