MYSysprep Error

[dan41322]

Hi Guys,

I am pulling my hair out on this problem. I just can't figure out what is wrong with it. I have written a unattend.xml answer file, have put it in the sysprep directory alsong with the mysysprep.exe and it errors and destroys my image everytime. Any Chance that somebody could have a look over it for me and tell me where I might be going wrong?

Thanks

Ok found my problem! Can't believe it was so simple! I was using a plain Text password and had the <PlainText>false</PlainText> set to false when it should be true!!

If you've copied the MySysprep and XML file to C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep, I'm not sure why the attachment you've posted reads C:\Windows\Panther

Another one we have found with mysysptep is that when you type the computer name for adding to the domain, you need to have a max of 16 characters for the name.
