We need to use out of the box systems with Windows 8 Pro OEM already installed so we do not want to use cloned sysprepped images. Is there any way to do a deployment from an already-loaded OS?
Basically take them out of the box, and manually start them up, go through the manufacturer setup screens and rename them.
The MDT deployment would skip the format, install OS, inject drivers part and have it just automate doing the following tasks:
join to domain
install applications
run windows updates
add local administrator.
Can MDT 2012 do this or is there a better way to automate this?
