Tripredacus Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 In the future, if you posted your thread in the wrong section, ask a moderator to move it instead of creating a new thread. When you are in Audit Mode, you have to close the Sysprep window, then run sysprep from the cmdline using the /unattend switch. Preferably, your XML file should not have any WinPE passes in it.

Tripredacus Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 You have Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup in there twice. Check your answer file in WSIM for any other possible issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 AlsoYou do not put it in Panther folder as that name. That is the recording folder for the Installation and it saves a unattend.xml file in that location. Place it somewhere else like C:\ and run this commandsysprep.exe /oobe /reboot /unattend:C:\OOBEAudit.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxXPsoft Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) I am not dead sure but <ComputerName> cannot have blank spaces in itTo customize the Windows default theme, you must include the settings: DesktopBackground and ThemeName.really you don't need to add to xml but replace this file even if you do that with DVD\sources\$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg that is default image loaded when desk loads Edited November 9, 2012 by maxXPsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
