I need some assistance with capturing a Windows 11 image using Sysprep. We've been experiencing repeated errors related to the Microsoft Store app during the Sysprep process. Although we've tried using the AppxPackage Remove command in PowerShell to delete it, the system crashes after Sysprep restarts, forcing us to use repair media to fix the Windows image. Additionally, I'm curious whether we can utilize Clonezilla for this process or if there are better methods available other than WDS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You need to ensure that you’re not using the default admin account for running Sysprep. Creating a new admin account should help eliminate that error you’re getting. Give that a shot!
It’s important to note that Microsoft's gone away from using flat images, especially since Windows 7, because they often end up outdated with security and software. Consider using something like Microsoft Autopilot for automatic updates and installation of user-specific software. MDT isn’t officially supported for Windows 11 anymore, but with some tweaks, you might get it to work.
Will do! Thanks for the tip.
