But now all seem to either fail with that specialize pass error at first reboot...OR they prompt me for a flippin pc name, product key. and time zone. same three everytime. When this occurs it causes my autologon to fail and the administrator account does not get enabled. I am running sysprep from the secondary "admin" account. I have tried with both auto activate enabled and 7 default product key and tried using only autoactivate but no luck. I have spent dozens of hour trying to beat this but I am not sure that it is a user error. I hope it is. because thats an easy fix. a slap to my head to wake me up. I will post 2 sysprep xmls that error out. The first gives the specialize error at first boot and the other promps me relentlessly for those 3 entries. I somehow got to a point in the waik xml creation that has bricked it. I am so tired of having to restore an acronis image when it is the reason that I started MS deploz.. I have 3 good XP images and HAD a couple of basic 7 wims that had no probs. i foolishly thought I had it handled so i deleted the old 7'z for drive space. Help me Obi, yous guys are my only hope. should only be run from administrator account????

ALWAYS. Just read about disabling ntfs encryption. I must have done that in the beginning but not recently. will attempt that tonight. That should take care of prompt for info. I hope

Also just read that the wim has to be applied back to the same drive letter it was sys'd from. Does the same apply to a machine that has three 7 partitions on it. The 3rd being the one that was just sysprepped? When it attempts to restart it has issues with the partiton scheme? I boot TO THAT PARTITION'S OPTION in the boot menu
