Hey

i'm trying to setup 15 laptops for a non-profit organization using sysprep i would like to create a image with all software pre-installed to launch over all these computers.

When i first tried to run sysprep it said i needed to disable bitlocker so i did now it's stuck on

Package Microsoft.OneDriveSync_23209.1008.2.0_neutral_8wekyb3d8bbwe was installed for a user, and so on.

i removed said package and it still says the package is installed

i even de-installed onedrive(not gone use it anyway) and sysprep still says it's installed.

just tried

get-appxpackage -allusers - name Microsoft.OneDriveSync_23209.1008.2.0_neutral_8wekyb3d8bbwe | Remove-appxpackage

it does not produce a error but it also doesn't fix the problem.

Hello,

That is correct. Apps that are installed per user need to uninstalled prior to running sysprep.

Can i force applications to be used by all users when they are installed ?

Hello,

As far as I know there isn't a way to do this for Windows Store apps.

I am guessing you mean in the image, this is dependent on the Win32 app. This is not the cause of the sysprep errors you mention above. Those errors are from Windows Store apps. A lot of the Inbox apps are considered Inbox apps so they should not be updated prior to running sysprep either.

Those should not cause the issue you are seeing; Only apps downloaded from the Windows Store or Inbox apps that were updated from the Windows Store will cause that error message.
