The tutorial I'm using to prepare a Win10 image states that I must save the .xml answer file I create to the root of a drive other than C: Is this truly the case? On our existing Win7 images we save the .xml file in C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep and point the sysprep.bat file to that path and it works just fine. I can't imagine having to have a memory stick with the .xml file plugged in everytime we deploy a system. How are others out there handling this?

I still place the sysprep unattended file in the C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep folder.

Hi,
I am following the same video for Windows 10 and I copied .xml file in sysprep folder.
It works fine for me.

Hi Don,
Which tutorial that you are talking about?
And what is .xml answer file, used for sysprep, or anything else?
See if the following article would help:
Sysprep Command-Line Options
And:
Use Answer Files with Sysprep
Genarally it should be in the old way, if you are not sure where to put the answer file, then use the /unattend switch with sysprep, to specify the answer file path.
Regards

But I though that the built in administrator account didn't have access to C:\Windows\System32 (as a security feature) in Win10?

This is the tutorial I'm following:

If anybody knows of others I'd love to hear about it

I haven't done anything with the built in Administrator account. For clients, an administrator account is created, and I use the account to run sysprep:
c:\windows\System32\sysprep> sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:c:\windows\system32\sysprep\myunattend.xml
