Preparing an image for Autopilot
We're using InTune autopilot to setup the devices instead of an unattend. However, the IA capture tool fails if there is no unattend.xml file in C:\Windows\Panther. If the image is setup with an unattend config, it does not configure with Autopilot when booting up after the sysprep. What is the process for capturing an image to be enrolled in InTune Autopilot?

If using DIA to create the unattend.xml file, it is recommended to edit the unattend.xml and delete the entire oobeSystem pass, so that it does not interfere w/ Auotpilot. You can create the unattend.xml in DIA from the "Direct Tool Links" then "Unattend.xml Creator". Remove it from the c:\windows\panther folder. Remove the OOBE section (from and including Settings pass=oobeSystem to and including settings which is just past "registered owner name" then when running DIA "guide me" import the new unattend.xml.

While this process does work for some individuals, we have also had others experience some issues post deployment. Please note Dell cannot support this work around working in all circumstances.

@tkoscielniak
I know this thread is years old but I am now attempting to do this with the unattend file but I cannot get it to work when trying to capture the image....it keeps failing at the "Unattend File" check.
If you recall where exactly you edited the unattend I would appreciate your assistance
