Hi,
I'm pulling my hair out with a silly problem trying to ghost XP PRO to
many computers with specific naming requirements, and would like some
calming words of advice if possible.
With W2k I used to use a full sysprep.inf leaving just the machinename
blank to get the mini-wizard to prompt for the machine name, simple.
With XP if I leave it blank it just generates a random one instead of
prompting me.
I must have ghosted, sysprep, mini-wizarded a hundred images in the past
few days and they never ask me.
If I leave something else blank in the sysprep.inf it prompts me for it
no problem. (For example product ID)
Any idea how I can get it to ask for the machine name?
PS I'm using the new sysprep from XP SP1 and the command sysprep -pnp
-mini to kick it off. I can supply my current nonworking sysprep.inf if
required but basically it's:
;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
OemSkipEula=Yes
OemPnPDriversPath=drivers
InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386
TargetPath=\WINNT
DriverSigningPolicy=ignore
[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword=*******
AutoLogon=Yes
AutoLogonCount=2
OEMSkipRegional=1
TimeZone=85
OemSkipWelcome=1
[UserData]
FullName=ITMANAGER
OrgName=LMU
ComputerName=
Thanks
