Deploying VISTA Slipstream SP1 form WDS Server + Tools

**saintxseiya** · June 24, 2008

Hi,

this is my first post here, but i have read a lot during the last months here on the board and it is awesome!

However i am getting nuts by trying to deploy my Vista SP1 Slipstream from the WDS server to the clients.

First that what works:

I can deploy vista join the domain make a local account etc. everything works fine!

Things that does not work:

For f****g sake! How can i deploy tools that will install during the Vista setup? I tried so many ways listed here but nothing.

I am working with two .XML files. One for the Clientsetup (WinPE) added for the installation on the WDS Server in Properties of the Server. The second for the Image added

in the properties of the Systemimage. But in every way i tried i am not able to get them installed. I am trying to install them over network so the Apps are added over an UNC Path.

Any help is REALLY appreciated i tried till 4 in the morning today.

Yes!!!!! Now i managed to install the Tools!!! :thumbup :thumbup

Only a little problem after installing all programs, it does not reboot to OOBE Mode with this syntax?

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

It just shows an error. Anybody any idea?

This is my Imageunattend.xml the problem is, that i get the messagebox at the end of the audit mode.

Where i can choose to restart in OOBE mode. But when i am going to restart and push the button. It tells me that an error occured an the box closes.

If i reboot manually, it starts again in the audit mode and same story continues.

So, at last, sysprep again with /generalize /oobe /reboot

TRied that, and also with OOBE REseal setting ind audit user. It just does not work.

It appers the GUI of sysprep and choosing there the OOBE restart generalize option just opens a errorwindow with the message of an systemproblem occured.
