I used to have a power shell script that a coworker gave me that would uninstall a huge number of services and apps on windows, change a bunch of config settings etc.

I've always wished there were a way to roll out a stripped windows release as an open source project without getting sued.

That's pretty cool I just used Enterprise Edition and ran Powershell to uninstall shit. Also Chris Titus Tech's tool is quite nice as well.

There is. It’s called slipstreaming and IT people have been doing it for decades

There’s a pretty funny disconnect on Lemmy of hardcore Linux users that have very very obviously never supported enterprise environments and have no understanding of how important windows is

Yep, it’s an echo chamber here

Configuration Management is the term I'm familiar with, third party tools or SCCM, or just group policy.

You can do some fun stuff with group policy
