Sysprep.ini And Unattended Cd Installs

[betamax]

if so, where does sysprep.ini file go? same place as winnt.sif?

The sysprep.inf file must be located in the same folder as Sysprep.

but where does sysprep go? on the cd? i'm not really sure what sysprep does. from my understanding you run it from a machine that already has windows installed, and then specify a target machine to install windows to or something. can sysprep be used with a bootable windows cd somehow when performing a clean install?

Sysprep is for preparing an OS installation for cloning to other computers.

You can add Sysprep to run automatically at the end of an unattended install on a reference computer. Then it will be suitable for making an image for deployment. The image can be on a CD but more commonly on a network server.

Add a Sysprep folder in: $OEM$\$1 so after install the folder will reside on the root of C.

The Sysprep folder must contain: sysprep.exe, setupcl.exe, and sysprep.inf.

There is a huge amount of info on M$ website.
