Sysprep Will not read my sysprep.inf

[Narse]

I am trying to automate the mini-setup for Windows XP Pro here at work so when we load an image we don't have to accept the EULA or place in the CD Key. I ran setupmgr and created the sysprep answer file but for some reason it ignores it.

I have sysprep in c:\sysprep along with the answer file

Which version?
WinXP Pro Corporate, Retail, or OEM (HP/Compaq/Dell/Gateway)?

Did you run SYSPREP with the - mini switch?
That forces Sysprep to use the Sysprep.inf file.

 

[networkman]

What version of Sysprep are you using? We use v1.1 for all of our Win2k images, with the .inf file in the same directory as the executable - no switches have been needed to get it to see the .inf file.

Example of the .inf file we use.. x's substituted for important info.
