Build and Catch fails at Sysprep

[Dan2012]

This has been a great site for learning SCCM 2007 and getting it set up. I have started the learning process of building and capturing a XP SP3 deployment. I had run into a few problems with a couple of other steps in the process that this site assisted me with, but now I am getting a problem with the TS running sysprep. Right now, I am just not sure if it is a permission issue some where or something completely different. I would appreciate any help.

From the log: Sysprep directory is missing setupcl.exe.

 

By default Windows XP doesn't have sysprep locally, so you have to make it available on the local machine (step Install Deployment Tools).

The package that I created for sysprep does point to a shared directory that has all the files that were in the deploy.cab file. Setupcl.exe is in that folder as well.

Also, to cover my permissions basis, I have allowed "Everyone" read access rights to the folder.

I'm a little confused. You say you created a package, but then say that it points to a shared directory?? Did you create a folder that has all the needed files in it, and turn that into a Package?

I followed Anyweb's post on deploying XP SP3 and one part of that was to create a sysprep package. The package is supposed to point to the extracted sysprep files from the deploy.cab file that I downloaded from Microsoft. So to your question, yes I made a package for the sysprep files.

[Lucid]

So you have a folder you made a package out of, and it has all the needed files in it?

 

factory.exe, setupcl.exe, sysprep.exe, sysprep.inf

Your log file makes it seem like you didn't include "setupcl.exe"...

Ok, I have gotten past my sysprep issue. I did a few things to try and fix the problem. The one thing that I did that I think that might have fixed the problem is that I recreated my sysprep.inf file. The old file had an encrypted password, so that may of had an affect. The other things that I did was to download XP SP3 and the deploy.cab again and copied the contents back over. Now, I just need to work out a permission issue with the capture of the image and I hope to get it complete.

 

Thanks for you time with my issue. This is a great site.
