Awaisarwar - As part of the ImageAssist process, Sysprep will be run on the OS. Regarding applications, it's dependent upon your requirements and or the type of application. If you want a "thick image" (applications included on the Gold image), many applications can be installed prior to ImageAssist running the Sysprep process. Some applications are not compatible with ImageAssist prior to Sysprep. Those apps would need to be staged either on the image or on a network location where they can be installed at first logon; either through scripting in the image or via group policies, SCCM, etc. Examples of acceptable applications which can be installed prior to Sysprep: Examples of applications which should be installed post deployment: Note: During the ImageAssist process, before it runs Sysprep - the tool will perform a series of validation checks. One of the items it looks for are applications which will prevent the process from running. If it finds applications that are not compatible, it will list them and attempt to remediate the validation by removing the applications so that the validation can pass successfully.
