I do not need a solution (just sharing information)
So I know the "supported" way of building images is to have the smp agent in the image then run a prepare image / disk capture. The issue I have with that is all the other subagents that get on there. Usually I script the stuff from sysprep but I have had inconsistencies with the deployment agent getting things on the domain, so I am going to use the official method.
My question is, is there a way to get just the core agents on there without having to turn down software delivery policies and such? I keep ending up with extra software in my image from managed software jobs. Can I block network activity from the agent or disallow maintenance, then the prepare image job will reset that back just before the capture?
