Recently came across an issue where although the 50GB limit in 0365 had been increased the user (using Outlook 2013) was receiving errors about needing to delete.
Turns out the OST file 50GB limit was in play – the below resolved it perfectly

This assumes you are eligible for hardware based entitlement to Win 10 PRO
Enter the default Windows 10 Pro product key:
VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T
Below message is shown
Click Start Upgrade, and after a few minutes, the system restarted. As soon as I connected to the Internet, the Windows activation process checked my hardware against Microsoft’s servers. Because this hardware was already recorded with a digital entitlement to Windows 10 Pro, I was activated immediately, without the need to enter a product key.
If like me you hate Sysprep then this is for you, I have always and will (for the foreseeable future) use Fog as my imaging solution, RIS was too flaky and WDS…well its WDS
A Windows user profile defines the look and feel of the desktop environment configured for a particular user. It contains various settings such as desktop colors, backgrounds, icon placement, and Windows Explorer settings. The default profile is a template profile that is used when a user logs on to a Windows computer for the first time. The default profile can be customized by the image creator.
Microsoft does not support copying profiles under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. The “Copy To” button is grayed out for all profiles except the default profile. The only supported method is built into Sysprep and this method is itself very problematic. The following steps are not supported or recommended by Microsoft but seem to work:
If you intend to arrange the icons on the desktop, use a screen size of 1024×768 when logged in as ProfileSetup. This is the default screen size that most users will use when they connect to VCL reservations. If you arrange the icons using a custom screen size, the icons most users see will be rearranged when they connect using the default size.
You will probably see the path to the ProfileSetup account’s original user profile directory saved in many of the values as highlighted below. This can cause problems with programs which use these values. For example, a user may save a file to the Desktop from within a program, but the saved file doesn’t appear on the user’s desktop.
Any new local user accounts created on the computer should receive a user profile configured with the customizations you made to the Profile account.
The following procedure should force a desktop wallpaper image to be displayed for all users regardless of whether or not the Desktop Background option is selected in the .rdp file. This could be useful if you want a logo or an image containing instructions for the user to always be displayed. There are some local group policy settings which can be configured to force a wallpaper to be shown and prevent users from changing it. However, this only seems to work if the Desktop Background option is selected in the .rdp file.
You may encounter difficulty getting the wallpaper to be displayed under all situations. One known situation is when a user connects with theDesktop Background option disabled. The wallpaper should be displayed initially. If the user disconnects from the remote computer (but does not log out) and then reconnects, the wallpaper will probably not appear.

This is just a rough draft at the moment, doesnt include notes on reg keys and image hacks or GPOS used to control desktop experience.
To add to image:
Yammer desktop notifier
After creating image using FOG
Add machine to domain either automatically or manually
Add domain users to local admin group
Login with domain user
Remove start tiles
Turn Domain Firewall Off
Accept Cortana defaults
Sign into Office, setup exchange
Set IE to default browser (required for childcare connect)
Install BDE (required for FMS to install correctly)
Install Sophos
Install Sims and FMS
Copy user data from old PC
Change security and maintenance settings
Turn system icons on or off – turn off action center
Turn off recently added apps
Setup Start Menu
Install SSL Cert
Look at setting up mandatory profile and potential roaming desktops for core set of users.
