Hello guys, I hope you can help cause the following problem really messes me up.
I have the following scenario:An SCCM tasksequence that installs Windows and a set of core-applications and then captures an image that is used later with another tasksequence to install my new Windows 8.1 client machine. Now what I want is to set 3 registry keys (respectively set another path to control panel\desktop-->wallpaper and scrnsave.exe and tell word not to override the existing normal.dotm on first word-boot) for the default user profile, so these 3 things will be set for all upcoming profiles on first login on the machine. Another side-requirement is to explicitly not use group policy preferences for the registry tweaks [just because the "apply once and do not reapply" seems not to work in addition with loopback-replace].
In order to do so, I added some batch-packages to the first tasksequence that copy my desired files to the appropriate locations and sets the registry keys to (hkey-currentuser) and then added an unattend.xml file the includes the <copyprofile>true</copyprofile> in order to copy these reg-changes over the existing default-user-registry hive.
Now - obviously this will not work, due to the fact the the sccm-installation never logs in an user account to install my core applications - it runs everything as "system" and therefore there is no "hkey-current-user". So my question is - how to set these registry changes in the default user profile...
Please note that I already tried to load the default-users ntuser.dat - make the changes - and unload the ntuser.dat... Unfortunatly Windows overrides the registrykeys on first logon with the default windows ones...
Thank you really really much guys.
