Problem with sysprep and cmdlines.txt

[C. Wulfman]

I'm using Sysprep 1.1 with Windows 2000, and cmdlines.txt won't execute.

Here is the excerpt form setuperr.log.

Pause isn't supposed to be in there. Was hoping it would stop long
enough to troubleshoot. Also tried the shift-f10 trick but not fast
enough on the keys.

Thanks
Carol

Carol,

Can you post your sysprep.inf? Also make sure you are using sysprep from
Windows 2000 SP4. It is the latest version for Windows 2000. It can be
found here

Hi Scott,

Here is the sysprep.inf. Modified the admin password and productID for
security reasons of course. I'll check the version of sysprep - it is
1.1 but may not have the changes for SP4.

Thanks
Carol
