Sysprep, cmdlines.txt and time zone woes

[Daniel Pye]

Ok, working on a sysprep image for a WAN deployment of XP.

Need assistance:
Sysprep not seeing/running commands in cmdlines.txt file.
File is in the \sysprep\i386\$oem$ folder
Commands are in quotes (")
tried even just entering "CMD" as the first line to see
what happens.. still bypassing it...

Time zone: Trying to allow users to set their own time
zone during sysprep. Windows 2000 allowed users to choose
time zone. WinXp Setup manager says that it will use G-8
time zone if none specified. Anyone know any command line
to set a time zone? (some rundll32 command perhaps?) Or
any way to get the sysprep to prompt the user (in
sysprep.inf ?)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info. That will go into a vbs that will be
in the default user run-once with a note .. something
like "Due to microsoft stupidity, Sysprep for Windows XP
will not allow you to choose your own time zone, please do
so now."

Whacha think?
