- After the computer is imaged in WinPE, Landesk copies the drivers for that machine into a folder on the hard drive.
- The computer boots into audit mode, installs the drivers, then syspreps the computer into oobe mode.
- The computer should now boot up normally in oobe mode and continue the process as normal.

The example file shouldn't be too difficult to follow but it basically configures the computer to automatically log into the Administrator account, notifies Windows that the drivers have been copied to c:\windows\LDDriverStore, syspreps into oobe mode, and automatically logs into the Admin account once more to resume provisioning.

Windows 7 reboots constantly after imaging but before anything else | Add the proper SATA driver to HII |
Windows 7 reports an error in the audit user phase | Add the proper network driver to HII |
