During unattended Sysprep...

J

JR

During unattended process of Sysprep; right when the target machine is
rebooted I want to ensure that it install some apps and hotfixes from CD
(Ghost Image I just dropped onto the machine that also includes the apps in
separate directory off the root of CD). How do I make sure the CD is
mapped to a drive letter of my choice??? Keep in mind that during
redetection, CD drive mapping may change between source and target machines
due to additional CD ROM, Hard drive of target system.

I also want to be able to do this by running unattend process from WinPE.

Any ideas?????

Hello JR,
This may work for both sysprep and WinPE using diskpart.exe
Create a file named cdrom.txt like this:
List Volume
Select Volume 0
Assign letter=X
Exit
Then run diskpart /s cdrom.txt
This should change the cd drive letter to X
you would have to do this before installing any of the updates and fixes
and to be sure that the cd-rom drive letter was out far enough as to not
create conflicts with any other existing drive letters
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Hello Lucian,
It shows as 0 on all my server machines, but not on all my client machines.
May have been a change that I am not aware to make the CD-Rom always 0.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
