Sysprep XP SP3 Failing Missurably - Skip to post 5
Hey guys,
Two quick questions here on Sysprep XP SP3 before I get started. First off, I've got all my images just about finished [around 10 images]. I've been tweaking the local Administrator account in hopes that it will copy over to default user profile when I sysprep. If I understand correctly, I don't have to go into Profiles and copy the Administrator profile over to default user. I just have to have the following at the beginning of the sysprep file:
;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
OemSkipEula=Yes
InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386
TargetPath=\WINDOWS
KeepPageFile=0
UpdateServerProfileDirectory=1
Can someone please varify this? :D
Second question, I don't know if this is possible, but my answer file sysprep.ini that I copy pasted the above from, I've tried to make fully automated. However, I want it to stop part way through, ask me to enter in a computer name, and then continue, just so I don't have to go back in, change the computer name, restart, etc. Do I just click No, do not fully automate the setup, and when sysprep runs the computer for the first time, then accept the EULA and it will fill everything else in automatically and then ask me to enter a computer name, and continue?
Currently that section looks like this:
[UserData]
ProductKey=My Product Key Is Entered
FullName="School Name"
OrgName="District Name"
ComputerName=*
I'm not sure if I have that right or not. Also, now that I think about it, do any of you ever get the error part way through that says the Administrator password cannot be changed, and then you just click ok to it, and wait till sysprep is done it's thing, and when the computer restarts, the password is there and actually worked perfectly but sysprep just whined that it didn't?
Thanks!
