Sysprep and adding users

[James Payne]

I want to run sysprep on a computer and then add a few
accounts during setup. Anyone know how to do this? For
example, I would like to run sysprep on a computer, image
it with ghost, and then when I apply that image have it
setup accounts called csr and dispatch. I would hope that
sysprep has an option in the inf to do this.

You can do it with sysprep, but why not just add the users to your image?

In any case, there is an option in sysprep to run a program/script on the
first startup. Create a batch scrupt which runs the net utility, and do a
net user /add.

Brian,

Thanks for your response. I had the understanding that Sysprep removed the
local accounts when you ran it. Is this not true?
