But now all seem to either fail with that specialize pass error at first reboot...OR they prompt me for a flippin pc name, product key. and time zone. same three everytime. When this occurs it causes my autologon to fail and the administrator account does not get enabled. I am running sysprep from the secondary "admin" account. I have tried with both auto activate enabled and 7 default product key and tried using only autoactivate but no luck. I have spent dozens of hour trying to beat this but I am not sure that it is a user error. I hope it is. because thats an easy fix. a slap to my head to wake me up. I will post 2 sysprep xmls that error out. The first gives the specialize error at first boot and the other promps me relentlessly for those 3 entries. I somehow got to a point in the waik xml creation that has bricked it. I am so tired of having to restore an acronis image when it is the reason that I started MS deploz.. I have 3 good XP images and HAD a couple of basic 7 wims that had no probs. i foolishly thought I had it handled so i deleted the old 7'z for drive space. Help me Obi, yous guys are my only hope. should only be run from administrator account????

Do your Unattends pass validation in WSIM?

ALWAYS. Just read about disabling ntfs encryption. I must have done that in the beginning but not recently. will attempt that tonight. That should take care of prompt for info. I hope



Also just read that the wim has to be applied back to the same drive letter it was sys'd from. Does the same apply to a machine that has three 7 partitions on it. The 3rd being the one that was just sysprepped? When it attempts to restart it has issues with the partiton scheme? I boot TO THAT PARTITION'S OPTION in the boot menu
