Enable WoL After Sysprep X64
Jun 7, 2011
I'm creating a windows 7 x64 image for work. I want to enable WoL. I've checked all of the necessary power management options to 'allow nic to wake the computer' and 'only with magic packet' etc. but after sysprep, since the NIC drivers are reinstalled after windows performs sysprep, those settings are not saved. There are three checkboxes that I need to check on the Wired NIC. Does anyone have a script, or the knowledge of how to accomplish this after sysprep? I have tried several windows xp scripts, but those don't work with this new onboard nic. It's a NIC on the optiplex 790.

I am using Windows 7 OPK and I'm deploying images to the computers that I sell.I would like to activate windows before shipping to my customers however, after windows has been activated in Audit mode, sysprep runs to reboot the PC in OOBE mode, but windows is no longer activated and the customer has to activate the machinethemelves. (I do not want them to do this!, I just want them to be able to use their PC without faffing about with activation)

I just got a job as an IT assistant and one of my first projects was to make a deployment image of both Windows XP and Windows 7.
I did a bit of reading into the "Sysprep" tool, and actually did make a successful image, the problem is that it asks for a serial number each time. Our computers are Dell workstations that come with Windows 7 on them already, pre-activated, so this doesn't really work.
What I did for our XP workstations was this: Preserving OEM Pre-Activation when Re-installing Windows XP That worked like a charm. I have it set up to automatically connect to the domain, and everything, all the user has to fill in is their name and the name of the PC.
Is there something similar for Windows 7? I'm assuming Microsoft is not going to just hand out serial numbers like that until 7 is EOL like XP is, but is there some other way to do it? Provided I have the pre-activated one installed, can I have it not deactivate or prompt for a serial number upon running Sysprep?

So I have about 800 pc's that we are deploying and going to image with Windows 7 Pro 32bit. I have only used Windows 7 sysprep a few times and have been working on getting a new answer file working on it.I have also everything working the way I want to. The only screen I want the user to be prompted for is the computer name screen. Right now it asks for the computer name like it should but also comes up with the time and timezone screen with the correct info so I have to click next.I have made sure to put in the correct time zone info and everything but it keeps coming up with the time zone page.

I'm in the trenches trying to develop a Windows 7 image for work. This is what I've done so far, I installed Win 7 64-bit on a test computer and did some customizations ( added programs, etc..). I then ran sysprep from C:WindowsSystem32Sysprep... and the process completed just fine. Okay, so I decided to do further customization of the sysprep process by creating an unattend.xml file using WAIK... Ran Sysprep again - not bad results - but I now notice when I attempt to open any log files ( Pather folder ) or "open" the unattend.xml file I get the following error message: "Windows cannot find 'C:WindowsSystem32sysprepunattend.xml' Make sure you typed the name correctly and Try Again" Yet the files are visible in Windows Explorer.

I'm finding that I've been installing/reinstalling windows a couple of times a month recently. Either I'm giving a "fresh start" to on of my household's computers or building a new computer for a friend or family member.This not only takes a lot of time but also a lot of bandwidth. Updating windows over and over again is a pain and games are commonly 10-20GB a piece nowadays.
Here's my plan, can someone tell me if it makes sense or offer better methods?Using VMware, create 3 images.-One image with only windows updates and essential programs (AV, VLC, browsers, etc).A copy image of that one with all non-game programs commonly used (office, gimp, wtvr).And a third copy with everything including games.Make copies and sysprep the copies.

I've have had three working Windows 7 images (Lenovo T510, Lenovo X201, and a Fujitsu T900) for several months. Periodically I install MS updates, make other necessary changes, run sysprep, and recapture the images in an effort to keep them current. Recently now during this update process, after running sysprep (using the same sysprep xml answer file that I have been using all along), wireless no longer works after applying the updated image. The wireless driver appears to be installed, but will not detect any wireless networks. If I attempt to create a wireless network profile manually, I receive "an unexpected network error has occurred."
The wireless device does appear in Device Manager as though it's in tact but if I run diagnostics, the wireless device is not found. Uninstalling, and reinstalling the driver does not fix the problem. I have come up with a workaround, but it is not a true fix, as the workaround prevents me from being able to consolidate the T510 and X201 into one universal Lenovo image as I should be able to do. The workaround consists of adding the following two lines to my xml file:
<PersistAllDeviceInstalls>true</PersistAllDeviceInstalls
<DoNotCleanUpNonPresentDevices>false</DoNotCleanUpNonPresentDevices>
This allows the wireless to work again because sysprep no longer strips the wireless driver as it processes. However because the wireless driver remains on the image after sysprep, I lose the ability to consolidate the images. After I Inject the T510 drivers into the X201 image, or vice versa, after then I apply the image, wireless only works on the model that the image was captured on, even though the wireless driver for the other model was injected into the image. The strange thing is that the T510 and X201 have the same wireless chipset.
Lenovo T510 - Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN
Lenovo X201 - Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN
Fujitsu T900 - Atheros AR928X Wireless Network Adapter

message after Sysprep stating "Sysprep Fails After Deployment With: Windows could not finish configuring the system."This is a new out-of-box Lenovo T530 laptop, it came pre-loaded with Windows 7 Pro.I pulled laptop from box and inserted our Windows 7 Pro SP 1 disk and installed our copy. I then configured all settings and applications under "audit mode", created an "Unattend.xml" file using the WSIM, and copied that file into the Sysprep folder and ran "Sysprep /shutdown /oobe /generalize /unattend:unattend.xml" The error message appears after I image drive using Ghost GSS 11.5.1.2266. (I'm assuming the error would appear after boot-up regardless of imaging the machine)I have read numerous articles regarding this error and have also disabled the "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" as suggested by many. I'm also assuming that the "Hotfix" for this issue does not apply since I am installing SP1.I am able to boot into the machine after attempting to boot into "safe mode" first (as suggested by many users), however once in, it looks as if the XML file is completely ignored.

I have a base image, where I have configured the default profile using the administrator account. I created user ids, but did not log into these idsI used Local Group Policy to edit the policy of one non administrator ids I created. After sysprepping the computer, and successfully copying the profiles, the user is not configured with the group policy settings.Same deal as this guy Sysprep deletes Local Group Policy but his question was never answered.

I've setup Windows Media Player how I want, and then use Sysprep with the copyprofile option ticked to copy all settings to default user.
When an end user logs into the Windows 7 PC and they go to click on Windows Media Player, they get the "Welcome to Media Player" screen and have to go to configure settings etc.
Why are they not saved or copied across with sysprep?

how to tweak and disabled transparency, now, my task bar it white and everything looks old. The main thing is when I go to personaization, there is no option to enable transparancy and aero themes are greyed out. I followed some advice on microsoft sites, did some enabling services and registry things, but it is still not there. I cannot even restore to an earlier time because it says a restore piint hasn't been set. I actually JUST upgraded to professional right before I did this.

I am not able to use netsh routing commands on WIndows 7. These commands work on Windows XP. Upon research I found that Windows 7 does not support routing commands. On Vista there was workaround by using "netsh add helper ipmontr.dll" and "netsh add helper ippromon.dll" but these commands does not work on Windows 7. How to setup NAT on Windows 7. One more question, if NAT is disabled on WIndows 7, How does VirtualBox use NAT for guest PC to communicate with Host PC network machines.
