Step: 1.12: Deploy Corporate branding

Corporate branding is an important part in any SOE or Image. The corporate branding is different from organization to organization. SOE corporate branding includes not only the look and feel of the operating system but also includes the system components re-configuration.

Create a new group called Corporate Branding on same level as Custom hardware Configuration.

Corporate Branding will be executed if following conditions are met;

Add MDT Use Toolkit Package step then point to your MDT package

Normally, I add all the configurations to a batch file or PowerShell script, then add that script to MDT custom scripts then run from command line in the task sequence.

I have created a MasterScript.cmd then add all the command line based customisation to this script.

Sample MasterScript.cmd looks as below; we can expand it as needed.

MasterScript.cmd
