Long story short. I have a RDS 2012 setup trying to have a pool of windows 8.1 64. We have made a machine off the domain with tweaks to the profile we want.
We have made a file called "CopyProfile64.xml"
that contains this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
<settings pass="specialize">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile>
</component>
</settings>
<cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:c:/temp/install.wim#Windows 8.1 Enterprise" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
</unattend>
When i sysprep i run the command C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend: C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\CopyProfile64.xml
The syspreped machine has this info in the following file %systemroot%\panther\unattendgc\setupact.log
2013-12-03 12:49:08, Info [Shell Unattend] CopyProfileDirectory from C:\Users\Administrator succeeded.

We are not seeing the tweaks we made the the start menu etc.
Thoughts?
