Local user and administrator accounts can be created, tasks can be forced to stop, and services can be started or stopped through the Windows Deployment Image Customization Kit.

The Windows Deployment Image Customization Kit simplifies Windows deployment through bootable portable media or regular installation. It takes up less than 200KB and allows image customization, but not ISO creation. However, adding the install.WIM file after the customization process is complete allows you to create an ISO image. This will undoubtedly turn the Windows Deployment Image Customization Kit into a reliable and powerful Windows image deployment tool.
