What exactly does this audit.exe do to my computer?
Ele é usado para fazer alterações em sua instalação atual para que imagens de instalação personalizadas possam ser criadas.
Audit mode is used by OEMs and IT professionals to add customizations to their Standard 7 images. Audit mode does not require settings in Windows Welcome to be applied. By bypassing Windows Welcome, you can access the desktop quicker and perform your customizations. You can add more device drivers, install applications, and test the validity of the installation. OEMs and corporations should use audit mode to complete their manual customizations before shipping the computer to an end-user.
In audit mode, settings in an unattended answer file in the auditSystem and auditUser configuration passes are processed. For more information about these configuration passes, see auditSystem and auditUser.
