I want to create a hardware independent image with Sysprep and ghost.
I have 2 machine models that cause a problem.
We use Dell Optiplex GX520 and Dell Optiplex 745
Both machines have an USB interface for keyb. And mouse.
Both the machines have the same HAL
When I create an image staring from the Optiplex 745 I end up with NO
keyboard and mouse during mini setup on the Optiplex GX520 and when I start
building the image from GX520 I end up with NO keyb. and mouse on the
Optiplex 745

Same problem here...how long are you letting the sysprep go? Usually
after 10 minutes when it "locks up" it continues on without a problem
with keyboard support.
Hey
The problem was that the pc was blocked on the welcome screen in the mini
setup and I did not have a keyboard or mouse to continue. No matter how long
I waited I did not get any keyboard or mouse.
I have found 2 setting that I can add in the sysprep.inf file so that I can
skip the welcome screen and the EULA screen. The PC immediately starts
detecting the hardware and by the time it asks me to enter the computer name
the keyboard is detected.
This might not be the most perfect solution but it does the trick for me

Ah, I already have those lines in my sysprep.inf. That would explain
it. Once the mini-setup enumerates the hardware, keyboard support is
not a problem. I think this is "normal" behavior on the Dells.
Had been banging my head against a brick wall here for days. Created an image for 50 optiplex 755's. It was driving me crazy because when i got to the welcome screen in the mini-setup about 60% of the PCs would have no funtionality in the keyboard or mouse. By adding:
...to the sysprep.inf file it caused the mini-setup to skip the welcome screen which i can only presume gave windows that extra few seconds to pick up the keyboard and mouse. So thanks for solving all my problems!
ive got the same problem here but i cant solve it with the reason of
keanemeister. Its a Dell Optiplex 330. Anyone got some solutions?
-so long
