How to test an Image Assist image without capturing & restoring the image

1. Take a backup snapshot / checkpoint
2. Before running Image Assist, modify line 27 of the ImageAssist.exe.config file from False to True.
   • "SkipPrepareImageDynamicWorkflow" value="True" (If set to true will skip over auto capture and shutdown system after sysprep)
3. After system shuts down, boot back up to test deployment (Note: Image Assist will still be there, it’s only removed when the image is captured)
