sysprep

J

JeffO

I've got experience with Win2000Pro syspreps, but am
unsure about WinXP.
I run "sysprep -pnp" to for forcing a full hardware
plugNplay on the next reboot for W2K.
For XP, I've seen additional commands I'm not sure how to
use.
We have the corporate MS Select volume license. Should my
command for XP be?:
sysprep -pnp -activated

Thanks in advance.

Jeff,

I would suggest to not use -pnp with Windows XP. This switch is no longer
needed. Generally when you run sysprep you are going to choose the
following

-mini
-reseal

You don't need -activated since you are using VL media. It does not
require activation.
