This video will explain how to create a totally unattended xml sysprep file for cloning/imaging of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008. The only prompt you will get is for computer name, during the sysprep process on reboot after imaging.

  • Most useful sysprep vid on youtube thanks

  • Great Video! Thank you for posting.

  • The thing I do not understand is where you mention this file must be copied to the C:\Windows\System32\sysprep folder. The problem I am experiencing is, there is no sysprepfolder and in order for this to work, I am assuming you are having to do this in a Windows environment rather than where no opperating system is installed? I want to know how I can do this where I have already created my partitions and use the austoinstall.xml folder from my CD.

  • I have tried copying the autoinstall.xml file to the root directory of the Windows 7 DVD, but doesn't see it. I am running windows XP and installing Windows 7 Ulitmate oem versionk, if this helps.

  • @selmathurman

    check the error logs at: C:\Windows\Panther\UnattendGC there should be to log files there that will help explain the reason for the error. I recently had to use these files to solve a similar problem....mine was an autologonenabled error

  • Any way to enable the Administrator account or is that always disabled during sysprep?

  • Hi i am getting this error

    Windows could not parse or process the unattended file for pass [specialize]. The setting specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft-windows-shell-setup­].

    please help!

  • This video shows you exactly that... It will reboot and only ask for computer name. The difference between sysprep 1.2 and sysprep 2.0 (Vista/7) is tremendous... See my article on bohack.com I am in the midst of posting it right now. I detail all the steps to do exactly what you want. Also the links to the components is on there too. If you like it... visit my sponsors on the site... They keep me in business Jon
