Explanation

Persisting Plug and Play Device Drivers During the generalize Configuration Pass You can persist device drivers when you run the Sysprep command together with the /generalize option. To do this, specify the PersistAllDeviceInstalls setting in the Microsoft-Windows- PnPSysprep component. During the specialize configuration pass, Plug and Play scans the computer for devices, and then installs device drivers for the detected devices. By default, the computer removes these device drivers from the system when you generalize the system. If you set the Microsoft-Windows-PnPSysprep\PersistAllDeviceInstalls setting to true in an answer file, Sysprep doesn't remove the detected device drivers.
