Vista sysprep command line

[hait0027]

Hello All -

I used SIM to build a basic unattend file named simpleUnattend.xml. I then installed Vista from a network share using the simpleUnattend.xml and it installs fine. Now I'm trying to run sysprep /generalize and always get the GUI. I get the GUI with any combination of switches even passing it the simpleunattend.xml file.

What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something in the unattend.xml?

Thanks in advance!

have you tried the quiet switch when you sysprep vista ?

c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /quiet /generalize /shutdown /oobe

Thanks for the reply.

When I run the full commandline it works. Do I always have to run /oobe?

I was looking to Automate the Windows Welcome and believe I have all the necessary info in the unattend.xml. I'm building a corporate image.

have you tried without the /oobe switch ?

at this stage you will have to experiment to see what works best for you

good luck and let us know how it goes
