Unattended ComputerName + Join Domain - Windows 7


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello all,

 

I know from discussions on here that many people have or are thinking about deploying Windows 7, changing from Windows XP. The Sysprep process however is very different with Windows 7 and by default there's no method to specify a computer name before joining your network domain. Below is how to do it all from start to finish:

 

1. From your Windows 7 Pro SP1 disc (volume license) copy the install_Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL.clg file from the \Sources\ folder into: C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\

 

2. Download Mysysprep2 here (scroll down the page) and extract MySysprep.exe into: C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\

 

3. Open up Notepad and paste the code below. Save the file as Sysprep.cmd in C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\

@echo off
mysysprep /oobe /generalize /unattend:c:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml

 

4. Open up Notepad and paste the code below. Save the file as unattend.xml in C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\

               DOMAIN
           
       
   
   

 

You just need to search/change the following:

 

LOCAL USERNAME - A suitable local account, such as for teachers when they're working from home

SCHOOL NAME - Enter your school name

%Please input a computer name% - Leave this as it is!

DOMAIN - Enter your domain name

ADMINISTRATOR - Specify the domain administrator account (if renamed)

PASSWORD - Specify the domain administrator password

 

Run the Sysprep.cmd file and Sysprep will start as normal. When the computer reboots, it'll prompt you for a computer name (of your choice), then join your domain. Windows 7 is then ready to be activated with a KMS server.

 

The machine will be added to the Computers container where you can move it as required. You can specify an OU, but as all networks are different, I've tried to keep this as simple as possible!

 

I hope this helps some of you! Good luck with your Windows 7 deployment!

Another 'feature' of 2008 R2/Windows 7 is that there's no method to make 'Documents' and 'Computer' appear on the desktop for all users. The following reg file does the trick:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]
"\"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\""=dword:00000000
"\"{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}\""=dword:00000001
"\"{5399E694-6CE5-4D6C-8FCE-1D8870FDCBA0}\""=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"\"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\""=dword:00000000
"\"{5399E694-6CE5-4D6C-8FCE-1D8870FDCBA0}\""=dword:00000001
"\"{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}\""=dword:00000000
"{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}"=dword:00000000
"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

 

Save as DesktopIcons.reg, then include it within a logon script:

 

regedit.exe /s \\SERVERNAME\NETLOGON\DesktopIcons.reg

Is first post suitable for 32bit & 64bit versions or is a separate unattended file needed for each?

 

Yes as far as I am aware. Open it up in Notepad and do a search and replace for x86 to x64.

 

You also need to make sure you're running the 64Bit version of MySysprep too.

I thought AMD64 was used instead of X64.

Asking because I use an unattended file with just X32 in it and it doesn't work for X64 systems.

Deploying wireless settings (as a startup script) is also straight forward as follows (including the security key):

 


WIRELESS

	
		574952454C455353
		WIRELESS
	

ESS
auto

	
		
			WPA2PSK
			AES
			false
		
		
			passPhrase
			false
			ENTERKEY
		
	

 

Run it at startup as follows:

 

netsh wlan add profile filename="\\SERVERNAME\NETLOGON\WIRELESS\WIRELESS-SETTINGS.xml"

I stand corrected, you are right! 64Bit XML files are AMD64 and 32Bit XML files are x86.

 

Not quite sure why it's called AMD64, as 64Bit is for Intel and AMD and other manufacturers. You'd think they'd of stuck to x64 but there you go!

No, not free, someone had to pay for it and could fraudulently set up a KMS server with the key

 

I don't think so, but we are going off topic.

I wish I'd seen this before I struggled to figure it out myself. I got it joining the domain and then changing the PC name, but it would only join the PC name on the computer, not in AD, so it wouldn't let the computer log in to the domani afterwards. Eventually got it sorted using a batch script on first (automatic) login, which uses netdom to join the domain, then auto activates Windows, then reboots the PC. It's then ready to use after it's come back up again.

Thank you all for your concern guys, it's nice to know people care on these forums :)

 

KMS keys are available to the public here. A KMS key tells a newly imaged workstation to talk/activate Windows by communicating with your KMS server.

Can I do this without a KMS key, say for example with a MAK key?

 

Yes, just change it for your MAK. You'll need to activate each workstation once however :)

For some reason I am getting this error when trying your solution. (Windows 7 Enterprise N 64bit)

 

Windows could not parse or process the unattended answer file for pass [specialize]. the settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. the error was detected while processing settings for componeted [Microsoft-windows-shell-setup]

 

then goes in a loop

 

this happens once I enter the name of the workstation I want ?

 

Any ideas ?

The Sysprep process however is very different with Windows 7 and by default there\u0027s no method to specify a computer name before joining your network domain. Below is how to do it all from start to finish: \u00a0 \n1. From your Windows 7 Pro SP1 disc (volume license) copy the install_Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL.clg file from the \\Sources\\ folder into: C:\\Windows\\System32\\Sysprep\\ \u00a0 \n2. Download Mysysprep2 here (scroll down the page) and extract MySysprep.exe into: C:\\Windows\\System32\\Sysprep\\ \u00a0 \n3. Open up Notepad and paste the code below. Save the file as Sysprep.cmd in C:\\Windows\\System32\\Sysprep\\ \n @echo off\nmysysprep /oobe /generalize /unattend:c:\\windows\\system32\\sysprep\\unattend.xml \u00a0 \n4. Open up Notepad and paste the code below. Save the file as unattend.xml in C:\\Windows\\System32\\Sysprep\\ \n \n\n \n \n en-GB\n en-GB\n en-US\n en-GB\n en-GB\n \n \n \n true\n Work\n 1\n \n \n \n \n \n dwBlAGwAYwBvAG0AZQBQAGEAcwBzAHcAbwByAGQA\n false\n \n Local User\n LOCAL USERNAME\n administrators\n LOCAL USERNAME\n \n \n \n GMT Standard Time\n SCHOOL NAME\n SCHOOL NAME\n false\n \n \n \n \n FJ82H-XT6CR-J8D7P-XQJJ2-GPDD4\n %Please input a computer name%\n SCHOOL NAME\n SCHOOL NAME\n false\n GMT Standard Time\n \n \n \n \n DOMAIN\n ADMINISTRATOR\n PASSWORD\n \n DOMAIN\n \n \n \n \n \u00a0 \nYou just need to search/change the following: \u00a0 \nLOCAL USERNAME - A suitable local account, such as for teachers when they\u0027re working from home \nSCHOOL NAME - Enter your school name \n%Please input a computer name% - Leave this as it is! \nDOMAIN - Enter your domain name \nADMINISTRATOR - Specify the domain administrator account (if renamed) \nPASSWORD - Specify the domain administrator password \u00a0 \nRun the Sysprep.cmd file and Sysprep will start as normal. When the computer reboots, it\u0027ll prompt you for a computer name (of your choice), then join your domain. Windows 7 is then ready to be activated with a KMS server. \u00a0 \nThe machine will be added to the Computers container where you can move it as required. You can specify an OU, but as all networks are different, I\u0027ve tried to keep this as simple as possible! \u00a0 \nI hope this helps some of you! Good luck with your Windows 7 deployment!
