Support of audit environment

[LuCarhub]

Hi Raphine,

very nice work your script. I've used it on 3 or 4 different new installation of windows 11 to create an image with sysprep. It seems that it works well removing unuseful ms store app, but it loses personalization of interface (position of start button, combining of button in the taskbar). Did you try to use it in audit mode?

Heya,

Just to avoid any miscommunication: From what I understand you're running the Win11Debloat script in audit mode to prep a Windows 11 image.

I have not personally used or tested audit mode, but I think the reason that certain changes are not applying when running the script in audit mode is because some changes only apply the user profile of the user that executes the script. The reason that app removal does work is because the apps are removed from the image itself.

Unfortunately the only (supported) way to apply many of the personalization changes on a global level is through GPO/intune.

I understand, but I on windows 10 I was able to keep many configuration in the registry loading hive for default user.
If I have time I will try and let you know

Ah I see! I was able to find more information, and it does seem like something worth implementing into Win11Debloat. I unfortunately also do not have much time right now, but I'll try keep this thread up to date of any developments.
