You can set up pre-installed software by configuring the system during user creation in Active Directory. Assign the desired programs to the new user account and ensure they are activated before the user logs in. This way, when the user accesses their PC, the software will be ready automatically.

You'd need SCCM to deploy software on this PC as desired. An alternative approach involves embedding the software into your Windows image using DISM/Sysprep. Could you clarify the number of users you aim to support? This seems like a corporate setup or a testing scenario—feel free to review the relevant documentation. Installing it on your AD server is feasible, but in a professional context I suggest launching another VM (assuming virtualization is in place). Let me know if you need further clarification—I'm happy to elaborate!

Sure, I can help clarify. This system is designed for a single deployment targeting 7-8 students. It’s meant to be straightforward and quick to set up. Let me know if you need more details!

It's clear what you're aiming for. You can install a computer and configure it as needed, then export the system into a Windows deployment image. I studied SCCM 2008, which offered around 1700 configuration tabs—still a lot to manage.

SCCM will be quite demanding, particularly for one-time use. I suggest reviewing the guide and making a Windows 11/10 install USB with all user profiles and software already set up. Be aware that if you downloaded the .ISO via Media Creation Tool, you'll need to convert its install.ESD file to .WIM to access the full DISM toolset. For convenience, perform this configuration on a separate laptop or PC rather than a VM, as copying files will be simpler that way. During Windows setup, if you need to transfer files, open Notepad's built-in file explorer—use CTRL+SHIFT+F10 in CMD to type "notepad.exe" and select "Open" for a basic GUI solution.
