Resealing or Customizing the Master installation Now you can either reseal the computer if you are ready to deliver it to the customer, or you can make more customizations by running Sysprep in Audit or Factory mode. Customizing the Installation Make manual changes to any answer files, manually copy additional drivers to the distribution share, and so on.
For example, you can add driver files such as. Using Answer Files As a best practice, it is recommended that you install Windows XP from a distribution share by using an answer file. This helps to ensure consistency in configuring the master installation, so that you can create and test iterative builds more readily.
Types of Answer Files Various answer files are used for various purposes and with various tools. A brief summary of Winbom. To use the Factory tool, run Sysprep -factory. After locating a Winbom. If the value of WinbomType is not appropriate in this context, the Winbom.
If the value of WinbomType is appropriate in this context, the Factory tool reads the value of the NewWinbom entry in the [Factory] section. If a value is specified for NewWinbom, and a Winbom. This cycle continues a maximum of 10 times or until the Factory tool locates a Winbom. The Factory tool then continues to run, using the settings in the last identified Winbom. If you use Setup Manager to re-edit Winbom.
For a CD-based Setup, the answer file must be named Winnt. For example, the answer file contains a FullName entry in the [UserData] section. The purpose of these first-run experiences is to gather user configuration information that is not already present on the destination computer.
Mini-Setup is a subset of Windows Setup. Mini-Setup prompts for user-specific information, detects new hardware, and regenerates system IDs. Through a series of fullscreen HTML-based pages, Windows Welcome quickly and easily guides end users through the final steps of setting up their personal computer.
Windows Welcome prompts end users for additional information needed to personalize their settings, which can include regional settings, network configuration where applicable , and Internet connection settings. For more information about running Sysprep, see the following section. Using Sysprep After performing the initial setup steps on a single computer, you can run Sysprep to prepare the master installation for cloning.
Sysprep is a tool designed for corporate system administrators, OEMs, and others who need to deploy Windows XP on multiple computers. Sysprep runs in three modes, which you access by using different parameters on the command line or in the Sysprep user interface.
Restart into the installed operating system using Sysprep -factory or by clicking the Factory button to make additional changes and customizations. Run Sysprep -audit or click the Audit button to test the final installation. Run Sysprep -reseal or click the Reseal button to prepare the computer for the end user and shut it down. Important You are limited to three reseals of the operating system when using Sysprep.
When deploying Windows XP, completely install the operating system and preconfigure the shell and applications as required. You can then use Sysprep to enable user-specific customization when the computer is delivered or set up for the user. In this case, the first time the end user starts the computer, Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup prompts the user for a minimal amount of information. After you finish the first-run experience, the installation deletes the Sysprep folder from the hard disk.
Sysprep assigns a unique security ID SID to each destination computer the first time you restart the computer. Sysprep configures the operating system so that Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup runs the first time the end user restarts the computer.
This shortened form of GUI-mode Setup takes five or six minutes instead of the usual 45 to 60 minutes, and it prompts the end user only for required end user-specific information, such as accepting the End-User License Agreement EULA and entering the Product Key, user name, and company name.
You can run Sysprep with the -nosidgen switch to configure Windows Welcome or MiniSetup on a single computer. In this case, Sysprep enables auditing that you may have done; it automates Mini-Setup so that users can still enter user-specific information, such as regional options and TAPI information; and it bypasses setting up unique SIDs.
Use Sysprep in Factory mode sysprep —factory to install additional drivers and applications after the reboot following Sysprep. Normally, running Sysprep as the last step in the preinstallation process prepares the computer for delivery. When restarted, the computer displays Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup.
With Sysprep running with the factory option, the computer restarts in a network-enabled state without starting Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup. In this state, Factory. Copies drivers from a network source to the computer. Starts Plug and Play enumeration. Stages, installs, and uninstalls applications on the computer from source files located on either the computer or a network source. Adds customer data.
In this state, you can audit the computer. When you finish, run Sysprep with the -reseal option to prepare the computer for delivery to the customer. For example, to create a master installation that contains a minimal set of drivers, run sysprep -factory, create an image of the installation, and then copy the image to multiple destination computers.
If any destination computers require additional drivers, run sysprep -factory on the destination computer and load those drivers at that time. If you use Sysprep. Otherwise, you can create a completely automated installation that does not ask the user any questions about configuration.
Windows Product Activation WPA enables an end user to use the operating system for 30 days before activating it. After 30 days have elapsed, the operating system will no longer be usable until the end user contacts Microsoft.
You can create a master installation, run Sysprep -reseal on it, create an image of that installation, and then safely store that image for more than 30 days. The day countdown for WPA does not begin until the next time the operating system starts. You can use Sysprep for a maximum of three times to reset the activation timer.
After the third time you run Sysprep, you can no longer reset the timer. By using the command Sysprep -activated, you can avoid resetting the grace period for activation. This requires that the system be preactivated in the factory. This is equivalent to using the Sysprep —factory command.
