Trying to pin the following programs to the taskbar buy adding them in the "amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup__neutral"of the specialize pass of unattend.xml file used by SCCM\OSD in the "Apply Operating System' step.
-<TaskbarLinks>
<Link0>%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Word 2010.lnk</Link0> <Link1>%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Excel 2010.lnk</Link1> <Link2>%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Outlook 2010.lnk</Link2>
</TaskbarLinks>
I edited the unattend file using WSIM tool and every other setting I applied using the file has worked but these just dont show up on the taskbar.
Weird thing is if i manually pin say Word for example to the taskbar after the OSD deployment is complete and hover the mouse over it it will display as Microsoft Word 2010 (2) as if it is the 2nd time the program has been pinned to the taskbar even though you can only see one of them. same for Excel and Outlook but if I add say Access it will not have the (2) after it
So it's like the settings from the unttend file are working somewhat as Win7 thinks there is already a shortcut there but they are just not displaying...
I've seen others saying this can only be done when syspreping and call the unattend at that time but if that is true why is it in the "amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup__neutral" Components of WSIM?
