Default Sysprep : split unattended.txt

Hi,

is there a way to split the unatteded file. I need to change the computer
name of the computer before windows run mini-setup. I've found a nice
solution but I need to modify unattended.txt file just after the ghost and my
problem is that this file is on the D drive (systemDrive) and is NTFS of
course so I can even read the file under DOS.
My solution is to put on C drive which is FAT for me, a little file with the
computer name.

Default RE: Sysprep : split unattended.txt

Do you want to modify it once or every build?

Typically this isn't the best way to script an automatic computer renaming
in an SOE. I typically use NETDOM RENAMECOMPUTER in an autologon runone
script post minisetup.

If you just want to modify it once then use ghostexplorer to modify the
sysprep.inf file.

Hi,

thx for answer. I just want to modifiy it during the cloning process but I
don't want to let windows choose the name.
I'll try with a post install script as you say.
