[libreoffice-users] RE: Libre Office 4 and MS Sysprep

John,

Hmm, not sure that in Windows 7 using Sysprep and using WAIK to prepare a CopyProfile=true  
Specialize stanza into a "filename.xml" reliably overwrites the default user run from any user 
other than the Administrator account running in Audit mode.

Not sure what happens with file associations and per program user configurations if you use an 
account other than Administrator in Audit mode.   But my sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe 
/unattend:filename.xml  SYSPREPs prior to image capture seems to behave pretty well with 
customizations done in audit mode being copied into a new default user profile and apps running 
correctly. Only a few issues with occasional linkage to C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming for 
program configuration and temp space--but not LibreOffice.

I've had no problems with desktop icons placed on the C:\Users\Public\Desktop

On the file association side, I don't deploy with LibreOffice set as default for anything but its 
native ODF formats, so I can't comment there about SYSPREPs impact, not too surprised  if MS allows 
SYSPREP to clobber some file associations. And, there are continuing problems with the LibreOffice 
file associations that make the whole issue kind of dicey.  We have an enhancement request in place 
for a File Association Manager for Windows builds of LibreOffice (fdo#44462 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44462 )

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office 4 and MS Sysprep

I have created an image of Windows 7 x64 and LO4 using sysprep. Sysprep is setup to copy the 
current user to the default profile yet all preconfigured settings are gone and desktop icons have 
disappeared when the system comes back up. Other desktop icons/settings make it through this 
process fine but Libre seems to revert to a generic default install. Is this by design or are there 
special steps I need to take during the sysprep process?

Basically what I would like is for all LO programs to have their default "save type" as their 
Microsoft equivalents and icons on the desktop already setup in the default user so that whoever 
logs in is basically ready to go. I know LO pushes ODF but until we get a larger portion of our 
population changed over this is the most realistic for us. Any help would be great!

Thanks,
John
