Ok, so after pages and pages and pages (and pages and pages) of information I finally figured out how to sit down and create my unattend.xml file. So currently I am working on building this unattend.xml file. Please note that I have already setup my laptop with all required software. Logged in as a user and set everything up the way I wanted it. Then logged in as an administrator and copied that setup user's profile as the default profile. So the only thing left to do is run sysprep and Ghost my PC. But the new sysprep is....wow.... very complicated and quite convoluted. What I want to do in my sysprep is very simple in nature, but I need help figuring out which items I need to choose to make it happen. The WinXP Sysprep allowed for a "mini-setup". Can the Vista Sysprep do this too? Because I don't 'fully' want to automate the installation. I'll explain... This is all what I want to do in my sysprep:1) Insert Product Key (it's the same for all machines) 2) Admin password & encrypt it (if this is already setup than I assume I will not have to worry about this and we could skip this option) 2) Computer Name (i want to input this manually once a newly imaged computer boots up since each computer will need a unique name based on it's user) 3) Join to Domain (after I input the computer name manually it would automatically join that PC to our domain based on pre-entered domain name, user\password) 4) Reset the SID I apologize if this sounds very NOOB-ish, but I'm in the process of building the images now for all the new computers coming in and I don't have the time to sit and go through this at my own pace. Any help is greatly, greatly appriciated!! Thanks, Josh -- Morph |
