Task sequense
You can skip capture user / group state in every step, this way the install takes less long. Restore from domain in last step of postinstall is issued for problems when computer won’t end the installation.

Change MDT language to nl_BE

This has to be done between updating deployment img and after creating task sequence.

Open file
#deployment share#\Control\INSTALL\Unattend.xml

Change
