Alright I see your sysprep.inf file here and I see mine. Mine is pretty much the default but what I want it to do is when the computer restarts after pulling that image down.. I do not want to have to join the domain and all of those options where you have to keep clicking next. The only thing I want to have to do is name the computer.

 

I am going to do some more reading here and see if I cannot figure this out but do you have a full how-to on how to do this, I was unable to find one?

Okay I have it fully automated now here is my last question..

 

to get it to join the correct OU here is what I read

 

MachineObjectOU="OU=Desktops,OU=Machines,DC=Domain,DC=local"

 

Now from what I understand of that here is what I put

MachineObjectOU="OU=PATHFINDER,OU=Computers,DC=pathfinder.com,DC=local"

 

Here is what my AD tree looks like:

 

ADUC

<Saved Queries

<pathfinder.com

<<administrators and admingroups

<<Builtin

<<Computers

<<Domain Controllers

<<PATHFINDER

<<<Computers

<<<Printers

<<<Servers

<<<Users and Groups

 

I want it to put the new computers in the Computers OU under PATHFINDER. Is what I typed going to do that?

teh command follow the bottom to top hirarchy .You will need to specifiy the child ou followed by Childs parent OU's

like MachineObjectOU="OU=computers,OU=PATHFINDER,DC=pathfinder,DC=com"

Hi, I'm hoping someone can look at my sysprep.sif and WDSunattended.xml and tell me what I am doing wrong. I have setup my WDS as per the excellent instructions on this forum and I can deploy my XP image fine. It only takes 20 minutes which is fantastic again.

 

However, I want to automate the entire process from start to finish. Just to give you some backup ground I have a Windows 2003 server SP2 that has WDS setup on it.

 

In WDS, under Myserver.local/images I have

WDS - Windows XP Capture - the physical path for the is e:\remoteinstall\images\windows xp image\testcapture.wim

WDS - Windows XP Deployment

 

I have syspreped a machine and stored the image in the above location. When manually deploying the image it works fine no problem.

 

What I trying to do now is completely automating the process of

A)formatting the hard disk

B)Select the image and install it completely in unattended mode.

 

I have created a sysprep.sif file which is sitting in e:\remoteinstall\images\windowsxpimage\$oem$\$1 and looks like this

 

 

;SetupMgrTag

[Data]

AutoPartition=1

MsDosInitiated="1"

and I have an wdsunattended.xml file sitting in E:\RemoteInstall\WdsClientUnattend. I have linked this file to my wds root, client properties. The file looks like

 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">

</SetupUILanguage>

</component>

</settings>

</unattend>

 

However, This does not seem to have had little effect. Sorry for the rather long winded post, but I've tried to give as much information as possible, so as to give a clear picture of where I am at. Many thanks in advance for any help. Kind Regards.
