What about this? Link at the top of this forum... http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/

Sure you can using WMI and the rename method. Rename Method of the Win32_ComputerSystem Class [MSDN]

Those keys cannot be used for an install. Those keys can only be used for Telephone Activation.

Your Autounattend has things it in that shouldn't be there, such as: <settings pass="specialize"> <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"> <OEMInformation> <HelpCustomized>false</HelpCustomized> <Logo>c:\windows\system32\oobe\info\MyCorp\usertile.bmp</Logo> <Manufacturer>MyCorp</Manufacturer> <SupportHours>24/7</SupportHours> <SupportPhone>0800 123 456</SupportPhone> <SupportURL>http://www.MyCorpAddress.com</SupportURL> <Model>SomeHardware</Model> </OEMInformation> <CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile> <RegisteredOwner>MyCorp</RegisteredOwner> <RegisteredOrganization>MyCorp</RegisteredOrganization> <BluetoothTaskbarIconEnabled>false</BluetoothTaskbarIconEnabled> <DoNotCleanTaskBar>true</DoNotCleanTaskBar> <TimeZone>GMT Standard Time</TimeZone> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" 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"> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Path>net user MyAdminUser /active:yes</Path> <Description>Activate MyAdminUser account</Description> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component> </settings> Obviously you already have this in the unattend.xml. Second. In your unattend.xml, you can remove the following because you specify the reseal mode with sysprep.exe: <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" 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"> <Reseal> <Mode>OOBE</Mode> </Reseal> </component> In addition, you cannot specify this! <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> You can't accept the EULA for your customer with this version of Windows. It is safe to ignore these files. Ehh this is an entirely different animal... MS recently pulled the ability to redist imagex.exe within either a recovery partition or recovery media. Also, only an Authorized Replicator is allowed to press the recovery (DVD) media. I'll presume you are using the WAIK (instead of OPK) to do all of this.

I know how you feel, but I've also been in the shoes of the support staff.

Yes, but not recommended! Emphasis mine. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755130.aspx

No one here can send you new media. You can look on eBay or use a more official method: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246

You could have logged into an offline system with a domain account as long as it hasn't been off the domain for too long. Since your workplace probably wouldn't like the idea of you taking it off the domain to begin with, any other things you might to do it would just add on top of that. I'd call your support people to help you out.

I can find neither my CD nor the .RAR file I made of them. Drivers are probably on my Win98 PC but it is too warm to turn it on! So I found these which might help. http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/

I bet your disk numbers have changed? Sounds like your old boot.ini needs to be updated.

This switch also works in 64bit, but the first thing it installs is a driver, the ACPIXLR. It is not for a device already existing on the system. This will fail on 64bit because, while this driver is signed, its certificate expired on 01/22/2010.

I've been playing the Sims 2 for over a week now. I got the game from a thrift store for $1.50!

My secondary WDS boots to PXELinux by default but I could not get WDS exceptions to work. I got the guide from here: http://www.deployvista.com/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/65/language/en-US/Default.aspx Our topic about it is here:

I didn't even update. You can use the RTM WAIK for SP1.

Technically, it runs twice. Check the timestamps on the log file you are looking at. Specialize is run during initial setup, and then is run after you sysprep. There are two Panther folders. One is for the first install and the other is for sysprep.

The image in the recovery partition should be activated already.

This question came up here before. I've got an SB Live in my Win98 but I had bought this and have the CD for it still. I had emailed it to a user back in 2008, who responded with a "battlecruiser operational" however I can't find the files. I'll try to remember to look for the CD at home.

PATA aka Parallel ATA, previously synonymous with IDE, E-IDE, ATAPI, etc. If neither PATA nor SATA, also probably not SCSI. Phoenix Technologies is your BIOS. What brand of PC is it? If still not sure, go into Device Manager and go into the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers section. Look at the properties of any of the PCI IDE controllers, details tab. Then drop-down to Hardware Ids. Post one of the PCI\VEN lines.

Please read the forum rules. This thread has been answered and will also be closed.

I doubt you'd successfully be able to clone the partitions separately like that and get it to work. The recovery partition should be hidden, and it likely uses an HDD locking string. A sector copy (disk to disk) would be a better method to start with.

Your question is a little specialized for the general Win7 forum. Moving to customizing.

1. The choice of 32bit or 64bit isn't so much a choice like that, unless you built your install.wim to have one of each in it. Setup will display a list of the images in the install.wim. 2. You should be using an Autounattend and specify the Reseal to Audit Mode switch instead. 3. You need to sysprep and generalize before capture. You need only capture the C. If there is a system reserved partition you don't need to capture that, Sysprep will recreate those files, but you do need to create it on the destination clients first. You do your capture after shutting down. After sysprep is run, if the system is allowed to reboot, the Deployable flag is reset. 4. The PC will stay in whatever mode it is in until you tell it otherwise. 5. Use an answer file with sysprep to create both users.

You certainly can do this with both WinPE and even Unattended XP. I'll put this topic in XP unattend for now. Hopefully won't have to move it again!

None of my scripts for moving shortcuts about have worked in Win7 or Vista. I never put in the effort to figure out why.
