Hi folks...

I am having an issue when I am running the sysprep function from within a BDD capture scenario. When the script is executing it will actually run sysprep.exe but it does accept my custom sysprep.xml file for usage. This is what happens:

1. Executing the following command from the script named: LTISysprep.wsf

C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /generalize /oobe /unattend:c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.xml /quit

2. Once sysprep.exe is exectuted, the c:\Windows\System32\sysprep\panther directory is created which contains the logs for the sysprep command, reading from the setupact.txt, I find the following:

[0x0f004d] SYSPRP The time is now 2007-02-03 09:16:12

NOTE: Please check the entry that states that sysprep does not accept the sysprep.xml [generalize] section of the file...

3. And here is my sysprep.xml file:

Also, when checking the setupact.log file, one can see from the sysprep logs that it first tries the sysprep.xml file but denies, then moves over and snatches an unattend.xml file from the following directory: C:\%windir%\panther\unattend.xml file....

When I compare the unattend.xml with the sysprep.xml file there is one specific setting that is missing in my sysprep.xml file:

Unattend.xml
<settings pass="generalize" wasPassProcessed="true">

Sysprep.xml
<settings pass="generalize">

If I copy that setting over, then I cannot open the sysprep.xml file from within the WSIM application! Any one seen it or know what it stands for?
