I'm trying to figure out the best way to create a 'golden image' for Windows 11 that will have a few essential apps installed and automatically join our domain after deployment. It feels like I've tried multiple methods, but nothing seems to be working, and I'm feeling a bit desperate for a solid solution. Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, I think the era of golden images is kind of over. Instead, consider using autopilot deployment to manage installations automatically. This way, you can set it up to install an RMM agent that then handles app installation for you. It’s much more streamlined!
But how does that work with non-persistent machines? Golden images are still relevant for those cases. If you're managing non-persistent setups like AVD or Citrix, you’ll need both methods—so you might end up juggling between autopilot and golden images.
