I am getting following error during audituser pass. It worked fine with vista. I searched on google but found no solution for it.

Error:

auditsystem?

you cant add commands to auditsystem!

I was asking if you had an auditsystem

auditsys sets up the user you use in audituser pass

I have the same error, here is my answer file:

Then i have tried instead of the command sysprep, to insert the Microsoft-Windows-Deployment\Reseal\Mode:Audit to the pass (auditsystem) to my unattended file but without success also, i did not see any error but the applications were were not installed. i am wondering if i have to change the pass (not the mode) of the reseal to audit instead of auditsystem?

    <settings pass="auditSystem">

                <Username>Administrator</Username>
            </AutoLogon>
        </component>

        </component>
    </settings>

I think your problem lies with trying to run Sysprep when Sysprep is already running. If you try this in any other mode you will get an error too. If you want the system to boot into Audit, just use the Reseal object in oobeSystem.
