ssrobzoom Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I have been trying to create an hard drive image to load on my other pc. Both pc's are the same made by the same manuf. I am using the oem ( it came with my pc as a quick restore disk) version of windows xp pro. I'm using sysprep and creating an sysprep.inf file and putting it into my sysprep dir. I'm trying to get to an fully automatic reboot after running the sysprep.exe file here is the contents: ;SetupMgrTag[unattended] OemSkipEula=Yes InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1[userData] ProductKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx omittied FullName="GX1" OrgName="" ComputerName=GX1[Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=800 YResolution=600 Vrefresh=85[TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 Dialing=Tone AreaCode=901[setupMgr] DistFolder=C:\sysprep\i386 DistShare=windist[identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[sysprep] BuildMassStorageSection = Yes [sysprepMassStorage][Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=YesEverything works after running the sysprep.exe, except that after rebooting I get the miniset up. I do not want to get the minisetup I want the fullyautomatied version. where it goes directly to the Welcome screen. I have to enter the pc name, comp. name, product I.d. , user name etc. If you look at my sysprep.inf file all this is already included. Can anyone give me some insight as to why this is happening?Is it because I'm using the oem version of the winxp???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrebeiro Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I know this is a really old thread but when you run sysprep you need to add the -quiet switch. If you don't add -quiet sysprep ignores the sysprep.inf file.I usually create a run_sysprep.cmd file and launch sysprep from that contains the following:@ECHO OFFTITLE Running Sysprep... DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOWsysprep.exe -quiet -mini -reseal -shutdownEXIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
