General Question on Copy Profile (Sysprep)

[FTSWAW]

My question is definitely not what is Sysprep. I am fully aware of what it is and why it's used and what it does after it's used. I use Sysprep all the time; however, I am trying to figure out what exactly NTLite is trying to describe in the lower caption of my attached screenshot. The first part of the caption begins my confusion when it states "Specifies that the currently Logged-on user profile". Regarding Sysprep, is this speaking about the Default Admin profile in Audit mode or simply a Local Admin account? I guess I'll just jump right into it here and ask is this even needed at all? I usually Sysprep in Audit Mode, so I am not exactly sure about this. It almost implies that NTLite is doing the Sysprep function, and that certainly couldn't be further from the truth. Anyway, is it even needed for an image at all? If so, please explain to me how this Sysprep function pertains to NTLite. I know what Sysprep is though, just trying to figure out the correlation to NTLite and is it needed?

Nothing terribly complicated, NTLite is just offering to add <CopyProfile> to your answer file:

        <settings pass="specialize">
                <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
                        <CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile>
                </component>
        </settings>

Admittedly, some of nuhi's text captions could be simplified by copying from MS's reference docs.

CopyProfile enables you to customize a user profile and use the customized profile as the default user profile. Windows uses the default user profile as a template to assign a profile to each new user.
