sysprep doesn't reboot / restart

[surfertje]

Sysprep always has done his job. Now i have new hardware and have made some changes. Running sysprep on a client and sysprep runs for 10 minutes then does noting anymore! doesn;t reboot nor shutdown. The command i gave is

start sysprep -reseal -mini -quiet -activated -shutdown

When i look at the folder after sysprep stops and exits (but not shutdown) the sysprep folder still excists and i can run it again and again...

Someone has i idea what i can do about it? I have replaced sysprep already with a newerversion for Windows Xp pro SP2

Remove the -quiet and if there is an error then you will see it.

can you post the log? (setupact.txt)

it touches a lot of places to just start stabbing.

Remove the -quiet and if there is an error then you will see it.

The message is: cannot edit the registry

This is very global.. I am now tryiing to remove a lot of mass storage devices out of sysprep and see if it then works. (i have made a lisst of mass storage on a other computer with sysprep -bmsd and copied it in sysprep inf, then added my own masss storage to be sure it works for all my dell machines...)

Maybe i better create the list during starting sysprep but then i don't know if all my dell mass storage are in it

I noticed that the sysprep -bmsd does noting anymore nor does buildmassstoragesection=yes, even when [sysprepmassstorage] is empty.

The problem lays here i am guessing but how to resolve it, why does sysprep -bmsd builds no massstorage list anymore?

Hi, did you finally made it work ?

I have a similar issue with sysprep on 2 HP laptops, the difference is my sysprep doesn't stop, it just seems to do nothing even after an entire night.

I tried to fill the massstorage before with -bmsd, or just to let sysprep do it, i tried with a blank list and the buildmassstoragesection=No... always the same, no sysprep activity after a few minutes.
