            4. make Windows unique
            5. Phase 3: Windows Welcome phase.
            6. prepare the operating system for use by the user.
         3. Configuration Passes
            1. Pass 1 windowsPE
            2. WinPE control
            3. Pass 2 offlineServicing
            4. add drivers, security updates, hotfixes, language packs to WIM
            5. Pass 3 specialize
            6. configure system-specific settings
            7. Pass 4 generalize
            8. Used to create your reference image of Windows. Is closely tied to using the sysprep /generalize command
            9. Pass 5 auditSystem
            10. Only happens when Setup is running in audit mode using the sysprep /audit command.
            11. Pass 6 auditUser
