hey guys i am launching about 40 laptops and i care not to input the product key code every time on a laptop. i know there is a way to use the sysprep tool that will do it for me when installing the ghost image. i have tried to find info on this but nothing seems be able to exlain of i am trying to do.

thanks IDLE
 
The PID is housed in an answer file called sysprep.inf. You can fully automate the setup using this file if you would like.
 
so when i create the sysprep.inf file, i can go back and enter the product key code manually under the user data parameter?
 
Yes, you can add or change any of the parameters manually. It's just a text file. Edit it with notepad or any text editor. If you need more help, I can provide you with an example of the file.
 
if you could get me that example..im sending out 40 laptops. i want to make sure that im doing this right


that would awsome of ya to do that!
 
Here it is. My comments are in brackets. Replace them with your info. You can copy this text to make your sysprep.inf.

next thing to do is to run the sysprep.exe and im set? obviously i cannot reboot. my next step is making the image
 
Yup. And then test it. How did you get sysprep and no documentation on how to use it, if you don't mind me asking?
 
ive got a few books on 2000/xp but but they dont go into detail on how to configure it and set it up or even how to input the key code. i was looking most of the morning on how to set it up. this was my first time doing this.

i do appreciate your help.

thanks!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
