you have <settings pass="auditSystem"> but not the Audituser pass, you need both to do Audit You really don't need Audit unless you going to make an image to place on other PCs and thats where the sysprep comes in and used. If you are not doing that then I'd drop Audit mode. Look at my first xml it's for sraight installing without Audit

won't work REGEDIT /S %i:\APPS\ sorry I really didn't look at your cmd lines just copied and fixed use cmd /c REGEDIT /S %MEDIA%\APPS\RegisterSettings.reg cmd /c start %MEDIA%\APPS\MSSE-NL-v1.0.1961.0_64bit.exe %MEDIA% represents your drive like F:

Computer_name is a string with a maximum length of 15 characters. Important: Computer names can be customized by OEMs and by corporate customers. They can append a string that is up to five bytes long to the customer-chosen computer name. If they do not customize this string, "-PC" is appended to the customer-chosen computer name. In some languages, “-PC” is localized and the resulting string might be more than five bytes. When this occurs, the computer-name string is truncated and this truncation may result in a nonsense string appended to the computer name. To avoid this situation, OEMs and corporate customers should provide an appending string in an Oobe.xml file. They name ours out at work something like XXXX-1213 and thats also the asset tag then. But you can't join the domain first so I'd think maybe set a random name and then after it joins you could read a file and rename the PC

I don't do WDS perhaps someone else can answer that I just noticed you was missing auditSystem

look here same as what you want just use commands in your thing

you don't need the FOR %%i IN (C but 1 time as long as it is first here are examples Use "Windows Media" around anything might have names with spaces in it. <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Description>Setting Path Variable</Description> <CommandLine>cmd /c "FOR %%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L N M O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i\sources\install.wim set MEDIA=%%i"</CommandLine> </SynchronousCommand> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <Description>MSSE-NL-v1.0.1961.0_64bit</Description> <CommandLine>cmd /c start %MEDIA%\APPS\MSSE-NL-v1.0.1961.0_64bit.exe</CommandLine> </SynchronousCommand> This will set %MEDIA% to a drive then you use that variable %MEDIA%\

No \ cannot stand for that you would need full path. above cmd only returns drive root F: %MEDIA%\sources\loop.cmd which means F:\sources\loop.cmd

No Then you wouldn't learn anything

EDIT: Added boot critical 8/14/2011 Adding Boot critical and all other drivers if you don't want to inject Create folder on root of DVD called $WinPEDriver$ Add all your driver folders there. Drivers must be extracted. Long path names are acceptable Add this to your AutoUnattend.xml in <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsWinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" 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="1"> <Path>$WinPEDriver$</Path> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component>

tell me where on the dvd the file will be exactly then i can tell you, no your examples will not work

Ok think I already found it, looking for solution now I had removed some stuff to make download smaller

WAIK it doesn't add anything unless you add it, it don't know you are using 1 pass from the other. its basically stupid

is sample xml yes you start over with 7 image completely If your just beginning then you might want to look at my app made for beginners

Delete the others in upper post to release your upload space Are you sure you didn't get the 2 ini backwards? Reason is it hasn't even created an entry in [steps] in second file. Look in your folder and see if you have any odd folders like appswitch.dat - seen that once before. If you do then I suggest going back to Copy Seven / Vista DVD and let it delete. Uninstall and delete everything then start over if you can. When you get back to after copy dvd or folder, shutdown, delete ini, and let it do again I'll Get on my xp machine and run this through in the meantime

place that in a cmd file and put Pause at bottom. close and run it if dvd is inserted will echo drive. wrong do this way for %%i in (C: D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L: M: N: O: P: Q: R: S: T: U: V: W: X: Y: Z:) do if exist %%i\sources\install.wim set MEDIA=%%i ECHO %MEDIA% pause remove the " around things then you get this ECHO F: Edit don't add \ then you can use like this %MEDIA%\whatever.exe

$OEM$ are in the sources folder $OEM$ <<- can create other folders under existing $$ <<- represents Windows folder $$\Web\Wallpaper <<- copies all wallpapers here Setup\Scripts <<- setupcomplete.cmd System32 <<- $$\System32\OEM <<- *OEM.xrm-ms if OEM PC with SLIC 2.1 bios and valid key $1 <<- drive root Drivers <<- where some OEM place driver files Install <<- where I place most things and call from there. EX: %SystemRoot%\Install\Firstlog.cmd

should certainly work in any of them places. don't know about the poweriso will have to look at the thing can you attach xxx any sensitive info

and MS help files are not so great, right out at end of your <assemblyIdentity line "" /> is a blank space. Need to remove that, Sim does that and things get corrupt.

Logon screen without imageres, that does the login then and possibly the shutdown stuff. Does yors shutdown with your image myselfidem

agree with g-force Think this is a situation where some apps will continue and some will not, I've tried removing the /wait and turns into a nightmatre doing 20-30 apps. even on Seven 64 bit

Have figured out if you had old Vista waik on it won't let you progress after dvd copy. new release soon. First gotta do a vm and see about this background things

I do that to the start menu with my app but taskbar I haven't been able to do even with someones vbs script. I use attrib cmds on these cause they are hidden and must be setup same way, open folder and you'll see what I mean, mess up and it's not pretty if you are just going to copy then maybe it will work. I copy C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu I also export a reg file HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage2 but those are specific settings like Windows Explorer set the way I like it I use cmd files to do these things right now but was looking at OEM folders cause I seen 1 oem place things there.

I will try that tomorrow and see, could reduce the dll then

I found out what I was doing wrong and just worked in VM for X64 I'm running this from a .cmd file FOR %%d IN (c: d: e: f: g: h: i: j: k: l: m: n: o: p: q: r: s: t: u: v: w: x: y: z:) DO IF EXIST %%d\OOBEAudit.xml SET DVDroot=%%d CLS %windir%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /reboot /quiet /unattend:%DVDroot%\OOBEAudit.xml you might add a little bit into the xml so it has something and can call the xml like below did you see what that guy said EDIT: The OEMs do stuff like this at end of their cmd files so when you get the PC it has none of their .cmds :Cleanup del /F /Q %systemroot%\setup\scripts\oobe.cmd just deleted the file it was running

did you have it in offlineServicing edit I gave a dell xml here an they have it elsewhere You know they shut it down and image <settings pass="auditSystem" <component processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" versionScope="nonSxS" name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE" language="neutral"> <DriverPaths> <PathAndCredentials wcm:keyValue="1"> <Path>c:\Drivers</Path> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component>
