I want to add third party drivers, how do i modify the sysprep.inf and where do i put them within the image?

nailed it now. full deployment. used the following commands sysprep -bmsd sysprep -clean sysprep -reseal -mini -pnp -forceshutdown then used WDS capture wizard to upload my WinXP.WIM file to WDS

no joy, this is my sysprep.inf file, what am i doing wrong? ;SetupMgrTag [Unattended] OemSkipEula=Yes [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=4e88f05456ee758d48d7645cd4e30c86921b55d9183e95b3cd72aa95e602a590 EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductID=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx FullName="Name" OrgName="Org" ComputerName=* [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000809 InputLocale=0809:00000809 [SetupMgr] DistFolder=C:\sysprep\i386 DistShare=whistlerdist [Identification] JoinDomain=domain DomainAdmin=user DomainAdminPassword=password [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [sysprepcleanup]

So let me get this right. Create a windows installation that i would like to sysprep. Create a SYSPREP directory on C:\ Create an SYSPREP.INF unattend file Put SYSPREP.INF in the SYSPREP directory SYSPREP my install Deploy it with WDS

nope, has seen in here. (tenth slide) http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/8...03_WinHEC05.ppt

been looking for the setupmgr.exe/setup manager util for vista, i've read on microsoft site that there is one but i cant find it on my enterprise disk? can anyone help me to find where it is (disk or download )or even email it to me at: cjoyce1980@hotmail.co.uk thanks

Hi I've been successful in sysprep a window xp image to a "WIM" file. I've also uploaded to my WDS server. I've tested the image and i can bring it down successfully, but during sysprep it remove all the useful stuff like, domain join, product key, etc.... I've tried to give it an XML file, and a SIF file to do the unattended install through the WDS console, but it will not have it. Any ideas on how i can get WDS to perform a unattended install with Windows XP, or am i stuck with RIS? Thanks

I have a custom vista image that i have put on a server. I use the following command in winPE to attach the unattended install XML file wpeinit /unattend:v:\unattend.xml I use the following to install my custom image imagex /check /verify /apply v:\sources\install.wim 1 c: It seems to process the unattend file and the install image find until the UnattendJoin Stage, which looking at this error log, it fails at.

Any Ideas?

Please read. I'll trying to do it through WDS. I know that a custom DVD and uploading from the WinPE works. I'm trying to use WDS to deploy Vista. This is just a headache.

I'm trying to bring down a vista image that i have customized from my Windows Deployment Services Server. I've ran sysprep before pushing it up and know errors, but during the exaction stage i get to about 92% or 93% and the setup halts with the error code 0x80070020. Below is the error log it creates and for some reason it can't seem to uncompress this winPEpge.sys file. The wierd thing is that i cant find this file anywhere on the hard disk after i have done a fresh install. if i use the winPE to apply this image, its all fine. what the hell is wrong?!? 2007-01-10 13:09:25, Error [0x060023] IBS Service did not stop in 60 seconds. 2007-01-10 13:14:31, Error [0x0600af] IBS SetupUICallback: Error applying C:\WinPEpge.sys.

I'm using WDS (Windows Deployment Services) to install Vista. I've created a custom image using my unattended install xml file and installed various apps. I've got a copy of this image and it come down fine in Windows PE and installs as it should, but i need to know how to attach/use my unattended xml file. Using WDS crashes out during the exaction stage, not sure why, so this is way i'm trying to use the PE. i've tried the following command to try and make the PE use the unattended file, (found this on another forum, not sure if i have the syntax wrong but the log file it creates has no error message in, but it still does not work) wpeinit /unattend:\\bw-wds-01\reminst\temp\autounattend.xml

thanks for that, i feel a little stupid now should of know that really

What version of Windows Script does Vista Have?

Come on guys, anyone?

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or it's AD/Unattend. During the specialize process is the only point were you can input your computer name and also do an UnattendedJoin to a Domain, but just before the Vista PC allows you to enter the computer name, the computer account is created in AD. The computer name is alway sometime like this, LH-XXXXXXXXXXXX. That's a "LH-" then a random mix of 12 characters. Its not the MAC address, or any other type that i'm use to seeing. Anyway, once i've inputted the computer name, the computer account in AD doesn't change it to the name i've specified, but keeps the one it originally inputted, so when i try and log on to the domain, i can't because the computer is untrusted as it does not have a valid computer account in AD. How can I get it to accept the name i have entered, or can i stop it from adding the computer account to AD until i have entered the preferred computer name? The account doing the UnattendedJoin is a Domain Admin, (code below). <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <Display> <ColorDepth>32</ColorDepth> <DPI>96</DPI> <HorizontalResolution>1024</HorizontalResolution> <RefreshRate>75</RefreshRate> <VerticalResolution>768</VerticalResolution> </Display> <BluetoothTaskbarIconEnabled>false</BluetoothTaskbarIconEnabled> <CopyProfile>false</CopyProfile> <DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet>false</DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet> <DoNotCleanTaskBar>true</DoNotCleanTaskBar> <ProductKey>xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx</ProductKey> <RegisteredOrganization>Org</RegisteredOrganization> <RegisteredOwner>Own</RegisteredOwner> <ShowWindowsLive>false</ShowWindowsLive> <StartPanelOff>false</StartPanelOff> <TimeZone>GMT Standard Time</TimeZone> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-UnattendedJoin" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <Identification> <Credentials> <Domain>bw-wan</Domain> <Password>password</Password> <Username>vista</Username> </Credentials> <JoinDomain>bw-wan</JoinDomain> </Identification> </component>

sorted it. you need to create a local user account, as it seams to use this account to do the domain join. wierd!?!

I assume you mean create a local account, that has access to the domain. be good if i could get an example! Yes, to both of these.

no you have understood prefectly. the thing is that i get prompted for language selection and disk config, and i dont want to see them. any other ideas? Chris

I've just tried that, and no good. I want to get rid of the language option at the beginning of the install, disk configuration, virtual page size, and install the audio driver. so far it only does the page size and audio driver. what the hell i'm i doing that is so silly that i cant even see it. below is the last version of my XML file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-uk</UILanguage> <WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>0809:00000809</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-uk</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-uk</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-uk</UserLocale> <UILanguageFallback>en-us</UILanguageFallback> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DiskConfiguration> <WillShowUI>Never</WillShowUI> <Disk wcm:action="add"> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Extend>true</Extend> <Order>1</Order> <Type>Primary</Type> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Active>true</Active> <Extend>false</Extend> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Label>SYSTEM</Label> <Letter>C</Letter> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> </Disk> </DiskConfiguration> <PageFile> <Path>%windir%\Pagefile.sys</Path> <Size>1024</Size> </PageFile> <EnableFirewall>true</EnableFirewall> <EnableNetwork>true</EnableNetwork> <Restart>Restart</Restart> <UseConfigurationSet>true</UseConfigurationSet> <LogPath>C:\Log</LogPath> </component> </settings> <settings pass="offlineServicing"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DriverPaths> <PathAndCredentials wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="GX280AudioDriver"> <Credentials> <Domain>bw-wan</Domain> <Password>Password1</Password> <Username>bw-wan\vista</Username> </Credentials> <Path>\\Bw-wds-01\REMINST\Images\Out-of-Box Drivers\GX280Audio\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP</Path> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <InputLocale>0809:00000809</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-uk</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-uk</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-uk</UserLocale> <UILanguageFallback>en-us</UILanguageFallback> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim://bw-wds-01/reminst/images/install.wim#Windows Vista ENTERPRISE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> </unattend>
