Windows 2008 Sysprep

August 18, 2008

First of all, I understand Microsoft only support preparing system running

WinOS using sysprep but, 2008 version of sysprep do not support OS that

doesn't use standard c: drive as system drive letter. We created a default

system with necessary applications installed but one requirement on this

image is not using c: as system drive. When running sysprep with an

unattend.xml that specified a drive letter, e.g. n:, sysprep process won't

complete. Sysinternal has not release a new version of newsid for windows

2008. Has anyone any suggestion on any other utilties that generate new sid

for a system and works with windows 2008?

Thanks.
