Damon, In the morning I'll have to check the exact policy we use.
I started with an existing Win7 machine and set up a custom theme (our company wallpaper, etc) and saved it. During the build I copy it to the machine. Then the pieces are in place for the GPO to set the active theme. In the morning I'll track down the specifics and let you know.

We "fixed" it by using Group Policy to set a custom theme (we had corporate branding to do as well) that was based on the aero theme. If Group Policy an option for you?

You can choose it post login and it works as expected. I think I’ve had some success with a registry key also however I have found that thorough testing with this problem is needed.

The Image is being captured via an automated HyperV build and capture TS with MDT 2013. I’m using the copyprofile setting in my deployment unattend.xml. I’m not using copyprofile in the unattend.xml file that sysprep is using. So far I’ve tried setting the Aero theme as the default in my source image which is captured (using the LTI Suspend script) however the setting is not sticking. Have also tried a couple of variations of changes to my deployment unattend.xml however these also haven’t worked. I don’t want to use Group Policy for this sort of setting. Has anyone encountered this and figured out how to set this during a Config Manager OSD Task Sequence? It’s never really been an issue (I have been aware of it for some time) however a recent laptop with shared graphics has performance issues when the basic theme is in use.
