Sysprep does not read sysprep.inf file after imaging

[Guest]

I am running into a problem with Sysprep. I used Setup manager on a Windows
XP SP2 to create a sysprep.inf answer file and I put the file in C:\sysprep
folder. I also put setupcl.exe in that same folder.

After I image the workstation, Windows starts and it prompts me for all the
information, as if it's not reading the sysprep.inf file. It also deletes
the C:\sysprep folder after I go through the mini-setup and check the C
drive.

I'm using Zenworks to image my workstation but that shouldn't have anything
to do with it, since the workstations are not reading the sysprep.inf file.

Gilbert,

Did you put a check mark in the sysprep dialog box entitled "use mini
setup". You must do this for it to read the sysprep.inf file.

Hope that helps.
