Hi all, When using sysprep to create a generalized image of a PC, the PC is happily running the generalize phase and imaging, but then when it attempts to specialize afterwards the process is failing. The two setuperr logs from C:\Windows\Panther and C:\Windows\Panther\UnattendGC are as follows C:\Windows\Panther\setuperr.log 2009-03-26 15:28:29, Error CSI 00000001 (F) 80220028 [Error,Facility=FACILITY_STATE_MANAGEMENT,Code=40 (0x0028)] #414# from CComponentDeserializer::ConstructNodeNameFromXml(parent node = @0x54b7e8, full name = [identifierP\u680b\u7441k\u0415s\u2320\u01c4\uc500\u00c4P\u2e40P\u6e60P, list name = InterfaceV\uda28B\u5b87\u778c\u3e66\u77d1)[gle=0x80004005] 2009-03-26 15:30:02, Error CSI 00000002 (F) 80220028 [Error,Facility=FACILITY_STATE_MANAGEMENT,Code=40 (0x0028)] #830# from CComponentDeserializer::ConstructNodeNameFromXml(parent node = @0x5a7208, full name = [identifierB\u680b\u7441\u023a, list name = InterfaceW\uda30B\u5b87\u778c\u3e7e\u77d1)[gle=0x80004005] C:\Windows\Panther\UnattendGC\setuperr.log 2009-03-26 15:30:04, Error [netiougc.exe] TCPIP: Consumer 2 REJECTED the value named 'DhcpEnabled' (under 'Ipv6Settings') with status 0x78. 2009-03-26 15:30:04, Error [netiougc.exe] TCPIP: Error processing values under 'Ipv6Settings' registry key: 0x78. 2009-03-26 15:30:04, Error [netiougc.exe] TCPIP: Error while processing the the 'Ipv6Settings' registry key. 2009-03-26 15:30:05, Error [netbtugc.exe] NetBT: Failed to open the registry key (named 'Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\UnattendSettings\NetBT\Interfaces') for NetBT Unattend action settings: 0x2: The system cannot find the file specified. I can't quite work out what the first error log is trying to say. The second log seems to complain about the <DhcpEnabled>True</DhcpEnabled> section in the Ipv6Settings and about some registry keys that just don't exist currently (\UnattendSettings, \UnattendSettings\NetBT, \UnattendSettings\NetBT\Interfaces are not present). I have no idea if the registry keys should exist or whenther they should only exist for a period during the sysprep process. I have checked the NIC's on the hardware and they are IPv6 compatible. So please, any help would be great. If you need any more info I will be happy to provide Cheers, Matt

Thanks Jeff and annakin108, Jeff - We have considered the scripting option, but because our file servers are spilt up into various schools and the departments within the schools and the various courses and the year of the student, the path gets very long and doesn't follow a set pattern. We're also talking about 10000+ users. Therefore we can't create a universal script to creta the mapping. This is a shame because it would be a quick easy fix. annakin108 - The above should explain why our paths can be quite long. The NTFS rights are fine as the user is only given access to their specific folder and their username isn't mentioned anywhere else. I have been given one thing to test and that is to enable "Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> System >> Logon >> Always wait for network at computer startup and logon" in Group Policy. The MS blurb about this setting is extremely contradictory, but does seem to suggest that it might help. We have a staff member who we're using as a guinea pig so watch this space I guess. Cheers, Matt

Hi all, I have a very odd problem. I work at a university in england and therefore we have several thousand users logging onto a Microsoft Network using Active Directory. Our student have their home directories mapped to various servers around campus by altering their profile settings in the AD on the user accounts. The paths are of the form \\server\folder\.....\folder\username. The share gives full control to everyone, but the locks down via NTFS permissions so that users can only access their own folder. The odd thing that occasionally happens is that the home drive will map to somewhere random in the path and not to the users folder. As the user does not have rights to do anything in that folder, they cannot browse out of it, read or write to it or anything at all. Therefore they cannot store files in their My Documents and any application that writes files to My Documents at startup fails to run. The later problem is the more serious as it acually effects the services we can provide, where as storage can be workedaround using removable media. Any ideas?? Cheers, Matt
