Hey Guys, regarding the unatend.txt here is what i'm currently doing: i386 (VLK) dir module (copies to c:\i386) in slot1 unatend.txt file module (copies to c:\i386) in slot1 (should be it's own module so you can change it easly) sysprep moduel (copies to c:\i386\sysprep (I think I'll check on monday) slot1 (Kohler told me this is not needed in 3.1 havn't tested that yet though, don't want to change anything when I'm a week away from dedline and still need to image over 500 machines) I'm using the iub 3.0 core files (drive prep, XP Pro partition, and IBM custimization) If I rember correctly, Kohler told me when sysprep runs it stips almost all of your settings in your unatend.txt so you need to use the User Input options in the base map (with the base map open right click on the name of the base map in the left pane and choose settings, there is a User Input tab) for things like computer name, admin password, Person's name, workgroup or domain. as far as the componet options I just made a sysoc to add/remove features. not sure what other settings your looking for but from what I've found over the past few months there is alwasy a way to script it after the os loads ( no guarentee it's and easy script though ) -Chris
