sysprep and microsoft client

[Pascal Batros]

Hello, I am trying to sysprep a machine in order to deploy XP onto 200
computers.

My XPs are supposed to connect to a Novell netware server, and not
having the microsoft client. I configured that on the source machine.
But once I run sysprep, the MS client for networks is back, with file
& printer sharing.
Also, the machine gets a bunch of services in automatic or manual
state though I deactivated them earlier on the source machine:
Alerter,Backgroung Intelligent Transfer, Computer browser,Distributed
link tracking client,Messenger,Net Login,NT LM security, Remote
desktop Help session manager, RPC locator, server, system restore
service,WMI performance adapter, workstation.

It s really too much job going on each machine and deactivate manually
all these services and clients.

Id like to either configure sysprep so that it only includes the real
novell network client (I am currently using 4.83 sp1), and only the
services I wish. An other option would be to have a batch or similar
script that removes the undesired services and clients.

Does anybody have a solution, or a clue, or even a bit of a clue?

BTW: I also have an IDE zip drive which I declare as being B: in disk
management tool. But after sysprepping, it becomes D: . then secondary
partitions overlap on my novell mapped disks. It d like the same kind
of solution: sysprep does it OK, or a batch file to do it afterward.

Pascal,
By default sysprep installs the following: Client for
Microsoft Networks, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
Networks QoS Packet Scheduler and Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP).
I use the CMDLINES.TXT file to remove the QoS Packet
Scheduler, for example.
You will need to configure the sysprep.inf to add the
Netware client.

Hi Stephan

I am interested in that: What do you have in cmdlines.txt in order to
remove a service . Could you include an example that removes part or
all of the things below:
-QOS
-file & printer share
-"Background intelligent transfert" service

First you need the NETCFG.EXE utility, which I have in my
sysprep\i386\$oem$ with the cmdlines.txt file.
Here is a line from my CMDLINES.TXT file, which removes
QoS:
[Commands]
"./netcfg.exe -v -u MS_Psched"

Oups!!

Stephan's way is also good for MS client and file shares!

I downloaded netcfg.exe from
http://web.firstone.it/aggiornamenti/Microsoft/WinXp/OPK_XP/

(Is it to be found on the XP CD?)

Then, all I now need is the letter assigning for my iomega zip disk
