Preparing Windows 10 for image in enterprise surrounding

[StefGeerits]

Hey guys

 

I was wondering if anyone has a guide to prepare a windows 10 image for enterprise usage, or some tips on how to do it better.

What I have available:

- Active Directory setup on a local domain.

- SCCM12 is available

- Acronis software

- Dell Latitude E5470 and E7270 with Windows 10 pro licenses

 

What I need help with:

Preparing the windows 10 image:

Do I need to put certain settings in there to prepare it for active directory?

How do I remove all the bloatware from installing when I image a new computer? Is there a list somewhere where I can find all the bloatware and how to uninstall the package installers?

Are there any registry entries that I should change?

Is there a better/easier way to do this?

Any good guides are very welcome

 

Thank you!

from what I remember years ago you first set up windows as you want it then make a copy of that with windows AIK.

not sure about acronis, but don't you usually boot from the network and image the laptop with SCCM with the provided enterprise image of the company? if that's not the case, then just set it up out of the box with some generic user name and a hostname(this is probably a certain setting) that goes well with your domain requirements. you can easily join the domain afterwards. as for bloatware - yea, Dell comes with a bunch of them. probably some diagnostics tools, network utilities, backup softwares, power management stuff. you can uninstall them all actually. anything with a DELL nametag on it. you probably won't use it in an enterprise environment.
