Can't seem to get "UpdateSystem" in Winbom file to work as required.
As documented in OPK usersGuide under "Reference\Oeminfo.ini\oemspecific" section, M$ example the following:

***********************************************************
Include this section in Winbom.ini:

[UpdateSystem]
UpdateInis = UpdatesToOeminfoFile

[UpdatesToOeminfoFile]
%WINDIR%\System32\Oeminfo.ini, OEMSpecific, , Submodel = 456A0123
%WINDIR%\System32\Oeminfo.ini, OEMSpecific, , SerialNo = 12345678
%WINDIR%\System32\Oeminfo.ini, OEMSpecific, , OEM1 = Built from image 20010630
%WINDIR%\System32\Oeminfo.ini, OEMSpecific, , OEM2 = Factory location: Redmond, Washington
When Sysprep processes this Winbom.ini file in Factory mode, it writes the following information in Oeminfo.ini:

[OEMSpecific]
SubModel = 456A0123
SerialNo = 12345678
OEM1 = Built from image 20010630
OEM2 = Factory location: Redmond, Washington
***********************************************************
While being happy with all of the rest of my fully unattended installations of XPH & XPP, I am now at the tweaking of minor details stage. I've tried the lines detailed above within the fdd winbom.ini file - this gave an error msg, tried hdd cfgset winbom.ini file - this also gave an error msg. Neither winbom.ini files changed the contents of Oeminfo.ini

The details above were copied directly from M$ OPK usersguide into my winbom.ini files, i was kinda hoping they would just need to be changed for my details once tested and working. Not so.

My cfgsets are run over a network from tech pc to newbuild. Boot with M$WinPE Disk & fdd in newbuild.

Anyone got any ideas or is the answer staring me in the face and I'm just missing it.

Minor update on the "UpdateSystem" in Winbom.ini if it's of any use to anyone else.
Managed to get it working with the assistance of Erik @ Microsoft OEM System Builder ThanX for the sugestion likuidkewl.

In short I was missing the header "[OEMSpecific]" within my oeminfo.ini file, when this is placed below the section "[Support Information]" then the info gets written into the file when Sysprep -Factory is run.

The only other recommended amendment was to change my "%WINDIR%" path for absolute path - so:
%WINDIR%\System32\Oeminfo.ini, OEMSpecific, , Submodel = example
C:\windows\system32\Oeminfo.ini, OEMSpecific, , Submodel = example

It has been tested and works the way I wanted it to.

Cheers
