Imageassist Windows 1909 OEM Unattended

so i am trying to setup a new Windows 10 1909 image using image assist. I use the imageassist unattended creator and checked the copy administrator profile check box but that does not seem to be working. i need to have the default app associations set in the image as well as taskbar and start menu layouts. also, it doesnt look like the unattended creator is taking my timezone change from pacific to eastern.

I understand you're in touch with our ImageAssist Helpdesk. For others who may stumble across this posting, here are instructions for:

## TimeZone issue

please use the unattend.XML creator

- start with a new XML ( do not import any existing unattend.XML )

- select your desired TimeZone, etc

- finish Unattend.XML Creator

check the unattend.XML at C:\Windows\Panther

 

If it is really a Dell ImageAssist BUG, then edit the unattend.XML with Windows-notepad.exe ( do not use any other tool). Copy the modified file to any other local folder e.g. C:\Windows\Temp  - not inside a userprofile

Now run DELL ImageAssist ( import the XML from C:\Windows\Temp\ ) and verify the result after ImageRestore

 

##     and "DEFAULT File Associations"

as far as I know:     CopyProfile has NO association with the Default-File-Assosciations

If you intend to set Default-File-Associations then you have to use DISM.EXE 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/export-or-import-default-application-associations

You are able to import the Default-File-Associations "Online" too.

Notice: 

a) (already existing) Roaming-Profiles will not be affected

b) If you do the "dism .. import" during OOBE  ( First-Run-Commands - unattend.XML ) then the local Administrator will not get these settings, because the profile of local Administrator exists before you import the settings
