SysprepPreparator

The Sysprep preparation tool prepares computers for Sysprep generalization and for image capture.

[!NOTE] This is currently in a separate repository so it can be worked on more easily. In the future, it will be merged into the DISMTools repository.

This tool is designed to be as modular as possible. Checks are performed by Compatibility Checker Providers (CCPs). Tasks are performed by Preparation Tasks (PTs).

Special Thanks to Real-MullaC for helping with initial testing and expansion of this tool.

The Sysprep Preparation Tool follows steps described by Windows OSHub.
