Generalize the base image from audit mode, with hibernation off
The answer file now boots into audit mode after Setup instead of logging on as the built-in Administrator with a password: no account or credentials in the answer file, and no copy of one left in C:\Windows\Panther. The auditUser commands disable the built-in Administrator, turn hibernation off (no hiberfil.sys in the image), remove cached answer files and setup logs, and run sysprep /generalize.

# made once, and this script needs nothing outside this directory:
|
||||
# 1. an answer ISO is built from windows11/seed/Autounattend.xml;
|
||||
# 2. QEMU installs Windows unattended from the ISO into a scratch directory.
|
||||
# After the first logon, the answer file runs sysprep /generalize, which
|
||||
# removes the machine identity and shuts the guest down;
|
||||
# The answer file then boots into audit mode, where it runs sysprep
|
||||
# /generalize, which removes the machine identity and shuts the guest down;
|
||||
# 3. the shut-down disk is converted into the output file and made read-only.
|
||||
# The image holds nothing but Windows itself, like a cloud image: no VirtIO or
|
||||
# other hardware-specific drivers (the installation hardware, windows11/qemu,
|
||||
# only uses devices with inbox Windows drivers), no machine identity, no user
|
||||
# account (the built-in Administrator is disabled), no SSH, no settings. Every
|
||||
# account (the answer file holds no credentials either: audit mode needs no
|
||||
# account; the built-in Administrator is disabled), no SSH, no settings. Every
|
||||
# VM is configured on its first boot: Windows looks for an Unattend.xml in the
|
||||
# root of an attached CD-ROM during its specialize and OOBE passes, and so
|
||||
# takes the host name, account, auto logon, SSH and so on from a seed ISO.
