Main automation files:
Winpeshl.ini
Controls whether a customized shell is loaded in Windows PE instead of the default Command Prompt window
Wpeinit.exe
Command-line tool that initializes Windows PE each time it boots. Wpeinit.exe specifically installs PnP devices, processes Unattend.xml settings, and loads network resources.
Unattend.xml
Windows Setup works with an unattended installation answer file to automate online installations and customizations of Windows.
ZTIGather.xml
This file defines the variables and lists that are declared by MDT for the Gather step of the Task Sequence
CustomSettings.ini
Holds the properties that are used in MDT deployments

11. Automation tips Use MDT to build “gold” images
Use MDT or Configuration Manager to deploy images
Build in flexibility – use the MDT database
Build up the grocery list for software, images, drivers and language packs
Deploy only what is needed of the above
