PRE.CMD
is executed before the Image Preparation Wizard starts SysPrep to seal the image. POST.CMD
is executed after Sysprep has sealed the image. See Image Preparation Wizard Exit Points for details.Note: Image Capture exit points are only supported for ImageX and Windows Setup capture types.
During the capture, status information is displayed on the Service OS screen. See About the Windows PE Service OS Screen for more information.
