Sysprep Modules
Sysprep modules are used to dynamically update sysprep answer files during imaging. Unlike other modules, these modules are only assigned to image profiles, not policies.
Search
The search page allows you to view, delete, and archive existing modules. When a module is no longer needed, best practice is to archive the module.
Archiving a module keeps all historical data about the module and if the module is needed again at a later date, it can easily be restored.
Sysprep modules can be filtered by the module name and category
