Sysprep not unattended after application installations?

Hi

I am trying to figure out why I get the following prompt after the apps install

System Preperation Tool 3.14

System Preperation Tool (Sysprep) prepares the machine for hardware independance and cleanup

System Cleanup Action

Enter System Out of Box Experirence OOBE

box with Generalize

Shutdown Options

Reboot

Ok or Cancel

I would like it to select Generalize and reboot automatically

When I click on it to generalize and reboot i get a fatal error has occured when trying to sysprep

Here is my Unattend file, any ideas or suggestion will really help:

sorry added some code tags so it wasn't so crazy looking,

going to move to the unattended section were you will get a better response

@Wabaunza

edit your post and copy the xml in code tags or either better attach it to your first post

- < looks like you copied it out of Internet Explorer window and its a pain to remove them things to make it more readable. an actual xml file is easier to look for mistakes

Hello Wabaunza!

I can't see a sysprep command to leave the audit mode inside your xml. I just see the one to enter audit mode:

<RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
  <Path>%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /audit</Path>
  <Order>2</Order>
  <Description>Sysprep</Description>

To leave audit mode add the following line as the last synchronous command in auditUser pass:

%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /oobe /reboot

or, if you want to generalize your setup at the same time:

%WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /quiet /oobe /reboot

Regars,

Martin

FireGeier

is there any tricks to make it cmd /c Start /Wait you know of?

sorry I see now whats happening

BTW, if its last command you can make it <Order>500</Order> which is highest allowed and makes it easy to recognize.
