Unattend.xml issue

[David Floyd]

I am having an issue with the unattend.xml answer file for our windows 7 setups. When I run sysprep the image seems to run fine but when the workstation starts up instead of going to the login screen I am still getting the “review your time and date settings” screen. In the answer file under pass 4 I have the time zone set as Pacific Standard Time. Can anyone give me a pointer on what I may do to correct this?

I’m unsure I set the timezone on the machine I build the image from. Would you like me to upload the XML I use for windows 7? If so do you want 32 or 64 bit?

Paste the XML up.

BTW don’t bother going 32 bit for 7. Keep your XP on 32bit machines until they are evergreened. The hardware vendors made all sort of agreements in 2011 to stop all 32 bit development for drivers. With MS’s new push to drop a new OS every 18 months now you will get stuck fooling around with it unless you make a business process to handle it.

Don’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, it’s complete waste of time and energy.

Here is the code for my 64 bit windows 7 XML
