sysprep remove all your user data the specific drivers and makes that machine like you just bought it from the factory. as for a guide I on’t know a good one. I’ve just had to do it myself. if you want I might have another step by step on syspreping and all that other stuff. if you want to know the syntax of sysprep type sysprep.exe /?

Its the bit with Windows System Image Manager I’m struggling with. sysprep doesnt seem to want to work after I make my unattend.xml file. I followed the instructions in part 2 of your guide and it just wouldnt work for me. I did wonder, when you are filling in password details in the file, do you need to have set the same password in windows for the Administrator account? Do I need to have pre-enabled the account too? It might sound daft if you’re used to doing it but I dont know if the actual sysprepping of the machine enables the account or if that information is just there to make sure it stays enabled during the build process later.

you can make whatever accounts you want but if you leave none you won’t be able to log on. try doing the sysprep though the the ui. just type sysprep.exe
if that doesn’t work post you unattend file because something is wrong in it

Hi Brian,
This is looking good, just to confirm is this on a windows 2012 server x64 running VMware of Ubuntu Desktop 12.04.1 x64.
Cheers

Brian just to let you know, I’m all good now, solved my issue… it was a very silly and embarassing thing to do but I used the wrong distro/unattended combo. Used a 64bit windows and did a 32bit unattend.xml!
Anyhow, all is good now. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on here, work has me doing all kinds of crazy projects in the run up to Christmas.

yup i know how you feel. no worries and have a good Christmas.
