Unattended XP deployment with WDS?
Joris,
I'm having the same problem with the XML part of the config, if yo
figure this out please let me know.
as for sysprep this is how i set it up. I copied the sysprep folde
onto the c: drive on the computer to be imaged. i ran the setupmgr.ex
and configured a sysprep.inf file. choose sysprep setup and full
automated. When you get to the product key it's best to use a volum
license key(which means you needed to install windows from a volum
licenses windows cd or other media) and for the computer name i ente
"%machinename%" which takes the name from AD when you prestaged the P
using the GUID. the administrator password i left black because
configure this ahead of time when i staged the PC. I configured th
domain aspect with a generic account that has permission to join th
domain, it's okay to use do this because one of the things sysprep doe
it remove the sysprep file after it runs, therefore the admin passwon
wont be in a file somewhere on the pc for the user to find later.
at the end of the wizard it creates a file in the same folder a
sysprep.exe. run sysprep, reboot, capture the image and deploy it.
please let me know if you figure out the first part of aut
deployment.
Thanks,
Sea
