Sysprep -mini -reseal

[Guest]

Hi,

I made my master image and sysprepped it with the -mini -reseal switches. It
worked just fine - I didn't not have to enter region information or product
key, etc., as one would expect with mini reseal.

However I had to tweak the master image a few times. Each time, I rolled
back to the pre-sysprep image and made changes where necessary and then
sysprepped and made a new image.

This worked great the first few times. Set-up on the target computers went
as expected. However....

Now I have to enter all the regional information and product key on the
target computers. I have no idea why. Can anyone point me in the direction of
an answer and solution to this?

Is sysprep.inf in C:\sysprep? Try posting your sysprep.inf file here
(blank out the product key) so we can take a look.

I figured it out - brainitis. Instead of ammending the current sysprep.inf I
overwrote it using setupmgr, so my previous settings were gone. Went in and
manually edited the sysprep.inf and all is good now.

Now if I can figure out why our proprietary app will only utilize web
services in the Administrator account and not user, nor user's with Admin
rights. Hmmm........

Probably something in the user's profile (HKCU). We recently started
using Autodesk Trueview 2007 and boy does it behave badly. If I
install it as a local administrator and then log in as another user and
configure the path settings to the user's profile, it hard codes some
of paths BACK to the administrator's directory.

Using Regmon/Filemon, I found out that it was trying to write back to
C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\application data
\autodesk. No way to change this apparently, so I just gave the users
write access to write back to this folder. This will save the
technicians the hassle of installing the program for each unique user.
