Sysprep.inf not working WDS/W2K3 Server

[balebob]

Hi All,

I am running into a dead-end right now. I managed to have a captured image push out to my client workstation but I cannot pass the Windows set up wizard.... even thought the sysprep.inf is copied over to a local c:\sysprep.

Here is my environment: WDS is configured on W2K3 SP2. WDS is in Native mode. The captured image is called xprosp2-1.wim and it is in d:\remoteinstall\images\image group\. The sysprep.inf which is captured from a xp machine that is also used for captured the image to WDS server. The file is then copied to d:\remoteinstall\images\image group\xprosp2-1\$oem$\$1\sysprep on WDS server. Please note that I create these folder as per MS recommendation "xprosp2-1\$oem$\$1\sysprep". Please also note that the name of the folder is also the same name of the wim file without the extension as xprosp2-1. In the sysprep.inf, I am included the parameter DoOldStyleDomainJoin=Yes under [identification].

On my client machine, I have no problem download the captured image onto my workstation... but The Windows XP set up wizard keep coming up... which tell me that the sysprep.inf is not working. When I do Shift+F10, I can see c:\sysprep\sysprep.inf and when I do a more command on this file... I can see it is the same file that copy over from my WDS server.

Please help... I have try all option but I cannot make it work.... Am I missing something?????

Thanks.
