I need to create a default tile layout (profile) for a Windows 8 scripted install for all domain users that login.

I know I can create a default tile appearance for all domain users using a .wim for windows 8. However, If I wanted to create a default start screen layout for a  scripted install using Windows 8, how would I do this?

 

I know I can configure the stock applications with the removal command

(see below) , but not for the placement of third party tiles etc.

Hi everyone,

Just an update if anyone isn't aware, in Windows 8.1 you can export your start screen layout in either a .bin or .xml.

PS C:\> Export-StartLayout -Path "C:\Layouts\Marketing.bin" -As XML

Using group policy you can then apply this to your machines.

I have read on and off about customisation issues with Win8, gues its a work in progress. I know you cant have the app store on, and have side loading - its one or the other.

Get back to us if you find a way to resolve your issue.

Sorry I do not have my win8 machine up to test

look at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134269.aspx  go down to the copy the appfolderlayout.bin file.  try doing that without a sysprep to see if it just picks up the settings for any new profiles.
