PCI\VEN_1000&DEV_0030 cmdlines.txt = c:\compaq\msd\symmpi.inf ;LSI In addition to the sysprep directory and .inf file, you will need to create the directory c:\i386\$oem$. Within this directory, you will need to place a file named cmdlines.txt containing at least the following lines: [Commands] "c:\sysprep\sysprep -clean" This will ensure that all services related to non-used mass storage devices will be removed from the system. oobeinfo.ini (Windows XP) In addition to sysprep.inf, Windows XP relies heavily on the oobeinfo.ini file. This file resides in the directory: c:\windows\system32\oobe. If you are using HP preinstalled or restored images, then this file should be intact and all settings should be correct. Note: This file will be different for Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional. Running sysprep After the previous steps have been completed, you will be ready to run sysprep.exe to prepare the system for imaging. Please see the documentation included in deploy.chm for Sysprep.exe command-line options. After running Sysprep.exe, you will be ready to capture then deploy your image. Note: Windows XP may present a warning that the reseal limit has been reached, and your Windows Product Activation (WPA) grace period will not be reset. If you are using the HP-provided image, the i386 folder contents, and the sysprep.inf and have not altered the file c:\windows\system32\oobe\oobeinfo.ini, then you can disregard this message. Your image will not rely on WPA. Otherwise, end-users will be required to activate their product with Microsoft during OOBE. For other sysprep options including advanced customization and functionality, check the documentation included in the deploy.cab file or the resources listed in Appendix E of this document.
