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?

[Morketh]

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

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

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.
