sysprep.inf
Posted by RPD on September 29th, 2005


Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out sysprep because we need to run the reseal command on
all new workstations so they will work with our WSUS server, but I can't get
the sysprep.inf file to work.

I've followed the instructions from microsoft, but sysprep ignores the
sysprep.inf file every time and I end up having to fill everything out again.
What am I doing wrong? Here is the link to the instructions I am following:

If someone can help me I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks
RPD

That process should work fine. You should have a directory structure like
so:

C:\SYSPREP\SYSPREP.EXE
C:\SYSPREP\SETUPCL.EXE
C:\SYSPREP\SYSPREP.INF

Then you would run SYSPREP -RESEAL -MINI. After that, capture the image.

My problem was that I didn't use the -mini parameter. Thanks very much for
your help.
