How To Sysprep Windows Xp

Sysprep -reseal -Windows XP

Hi,

We have a Windows XP prototype with all software and drivers loaded. Before giving it to the terminate users we would like to run "sysprep -reseal" for regenerating the SIDs. I created a sysprep answer file using setupmgr utility and placed it nether c:\sysprep folder. Too I copied the contents of deploy.cab (sysprep.exe etc.) to the c:\sysprep\ folder. The content of the respond file is,

----------------------

;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
OemSkipEula=Yep

[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword=*
EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
OEMSkipRegional=1
OEMDuplicatorstring=rel1
TimeZone=190
OemSkipWelcome=1

[UserData]
ProductID=FDGAF-DHDGS-JHFJD-HJKDH-KHKDG
FullName="HCT"
OrgName="HP"
ComputerName=host2

[SetupMgr]
DistFolder=C:\sysprep\i386
DistShare=whistlerdist

[Identification]
JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP

[Networking]
InstallDefaultComponents=Aye
------------------------

I run the post-obit control from c:\sysprep

sysprep -reseal -tranquillity -reboot

Nevertheless, upon reboot I am existence prompted for entering each and everything that I accept already supplied with the sysprep.inf file. (EULA, License, hostname, admin countersign etc and equally many as ten screens). But, I desire the system to startup by itself with out prompting me and should accept the inputs from the sysprep.inf file.

Am I missing something??

Pl. help.

Thanks,
Karthik S S

Hmmm, I could exist wrong but all you lot need to do is run the sysprep.bat that the setupmgr utility creates with your respond file. The sysprep itself will strip the sids then no need to use that -reseal control. I could exist wrong... I don't think you need those other commands either. Just run the bat and make certain the answer file is with information technology. It'll reboot and then image it.

sysprep -quiet -mini -reseal -reboot works fine .. trouble resolved ..

Thank you,

is XP'southward sysprep different then 2ks? or am I incorrect because I am still under the impression that sysprep strips the SIDs so it would regenerate the SIDs anyhow without those commands? I don't use any of those commands and I don't become prompted for anything unless if using RIS and intiating that.

Sysprep 2.0 (XP Version) is dissimilar to Sysprep 1.one (2K Version). With i.1 you didn't need to add together any switches unless you needed to do anything special. With 2.0 you need to add some switches. In my environment nosotros setup the prototype including drivers and programs then on. Then we place the contents of deploy.cab, a modified sysprep.inf and the i386\LANG directory in c:\sysprep. We then run sysprep -mini -reseal.
