Hello,

I copied the xnl above to an xml file with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. I saved the file as sysprep.xml. I open it with Windows System Image Manager and I am getting an error:

Validation error on \\server name\applications\Windows Server 2008\2008 Std. and Ent. Eds. x86\sources\sysprep.xml, line 4, column 3.

Details: the element 'unattend' in namespace 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend' has invalid child element 'settings' in namespace 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend'. List of possible elements expected: any element in namespace '##other'.

any idea?

Thanks,

- Dom

error line 4 col;umn 3

Intel 64 bit uses the amd64_ settings. You will see it when you're loading the 64 bit OS image inside WAIK.

Hi, Currently I had created the .XML file.. but it doesn't match my requirement. I had created a file(.txt) which is store all the driver path. After that I copy all the path and go to the RUN ->Regedit->My Computer->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Windows->CurrentVersion. At the right panel, paste the driver path into the DevicePath.

Example the DevicePath : %SystemRoot%\inf;%systemroot%\D\C\A\1..............

But after all the sysprep run up.. it still show the driver is missing in the Device Manager.

Any 1 can guide me?

Thanks a lot

Copy the catalog files (*.clg) as well. I received the same error without these files.

When I use WSIM to create a catalog it complains that it has been unable to do so as "The specified location contains a Windows image that is not compatible with the current version of Windows".

I am using the install.wim file that came on the installation disc that I used to install the version of server 2008 that I am working on (Standard), I have copied the .wim file onto my C: drive so it is writable, and I am selecting just to create a catalog for Server 2008 Standard. Please could you advise where I am going wrong.

Thank you

Kate

Thanks much for the tips, I now know where to disable the appearance of the server manager etc.. but does anyone know why the proxy I had specified in the internet properties along with desktop wallpaper and customizations went after sysprepping Server 2008? It's like the administrator account has been deleted and remade as it was initially out-of-box. Interesting, because as far as I can recall, this does not occur after running sysprep in Vista either with the true administrator(if enabled) or other user accounts.

You can replace "amd64" with "x86" and use this same xml file on the 32-bit version.
