Win 7 - sysprep fails

[Tom5674]

I have logged in as local admin and local account with admin rights. I have also tried with domain admin account. I have lowered the ACL all the way. I also read that there was a limit to the number of times you can sysprep an image, so I created a completely fresh install. Hard drive was blank before installing Windows 7. I believe it is a rights issue but I can't figure out where. As always any help is appreciated.

which version of 7 is this and where are you running sysprep from ?

ok i'm doing a build and capture of Windows 7 now, and hope to test sysprep on it shortly

 

can you tell me what service pack level on sccm have you installed, what version of mdt and what sp level on server 2008

 

cheers

ok build and capture done,

 

don't use Sysprep 2, you must use the version that comes with Windows 7.

 

now, after it was built i logged in as local administrator the pc was removed from the domain already)

 

i then opened a CMD prompt with Administrator Permissions and browsed to

 

c:\windows\system32\sysprep\

 

and then executed

 

sysprep.exe /quiet /generalize /shutdown /oobe

 

and got this error

 

 

is it the same one as you get ?

 

anyway, try this

 

kill this process

 

wmpnscfg.exe or wmpnetwk.exe

 

and do it again

 

should work then
