          Of course, but that has nothing to do with the OS. Imaging happens at the storage level. The operating system isn't a factor. But on Linux you would rarely do this as there are more enterprise ways to handle this. With Linux you would normally do this through an install script, Ansible, Chef or similar.

            The idea of imaging your desktop installations is very much a Windows thing. Not that you can't or never would on another OS, but the factors that make it reasonable on Windows don't exist other places. You normally see this only in VDI or DevOps systems, not on desktops. What is the end goal, why so much complication for something that can be handled so simply?

              I saw the os in my office is always customized OS where there are many things are already in the OS.We are in need to configure for the end user.So I was thinking about the feature it works.Whether every changes will be made in regedit??

                I understand that your goal is customization. What I am explaining is that wanting customization of Linux would not lead you to imaging the system normally. I'm not asking why you want to be custom, I'm asking why you would want to image. Your logic does not lead from one thing to the other.

                There is no registry in Linux.

                  Imaging is the opposite of this. Imaging makes each one the same, not configured for the end user. So this supports my "why are you looking at the wrong technology" question.

                    Right there is no registry file in linux.But the imaging is the possible way to take the machine in the process of customisation Right?

                    Whether any other way to do customistaion of the Windows OS???

                      We've covered that this is not a good idea. Why are you still determined to do it without giving any reason for why you want to? What is your goal here. Remember every question you ask, we give you an answer and you ignore what we have said. Please don't answer something else, answer what I have asked and only that. Why are you insisting on imaging when it meets no goal that you have stated?

                        There is always another way. But imaging is standard and common on Windows because of how difficult it is to do installs on Windows. Imaging is a workaround on Windows to get around limitations that don't exist on Linux (under normal conditions.)
