sysprep ignores sysprep.ini

[mccorm79]

I have been using sysprep for about 8 months without any problems. I have

all my sysprep files in c:\sysprep. I run sysprep -reseal -quiet -mini.

sysprep runs, installs extra sata drivers, and quits without any errors. I

then reboot, run ghost. I reboot the system with sysprep loaded (the machine

I took the ghost image from) and sysprep does not read the sysprep.ini file.

Nothing changes on the system. c:\sysprep should have been deleted if

sysprep ran. the computer name should have changed. nothing. absolutely

nothing happens. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. never experienced

anything like this. I have included my sysprep.ini file below. Please

help.

Could you post your entire masstorage section I'm interested to get any sata devices to work with my sysprep 4 all image. Also did you know that if you install the system first with bashrats base and the keep the drivers option you don't need to specify all the oempnpdrivers line as it will find all the drivers.

Also have ever got a sysprep to work with skipping eula and using a corporate code? I've got all the lines in my sysprep.inf file but it always prompts for a code.

Yes, I have got it working in the past with the corporate CD and providing the CD key. My only problem before was the OemPnPDriversPath have an incorrect path. You can use setupmgr.exe to make the sysprep.ini file.

how do I install the drivers from bashrats base without including them in sysprep.ini?

[johnbreton]

I think the sysprep file should be name: sysprep.INF and not sysprep.INI
