Guest Pat Hall Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Downloaded and ran the KB926068. It did not ask me where to save the files and I can't figure out where it put them if it did. Have extracted the deploy.cab in system32. The version of the sysprep.exe is 5.2.3790.3959. Do I have the right version for SP2?

Do I have the right version for SP2? c:\sysprep is the folder, where all the extracted files have to be stored. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3E90DC91-AC56-4665-949B-BEDA3080E0F6&displaylang=en contains the version for SP2.

Guest Pat Hall Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Re: sysprep Win2K SP2 I downloaded and ran the file from yoiur 2nd link. That didn't ask me to save files. What I did was clone a virtual Win2K3 SP2 server and needed to change the SID. I was told sysprep was what I needed to run. The version of sysprep I ran was the one from the RTM release. When I do My Computer | Properties I don't see the "Automatic Updates" and "Remote" tabs. Do I need to reapply SP2 or is there another action I need to take?

For sysprep: Create a folder C:\Sysprep. This path is mandatory to get it working. Unpack all files from deploy.cab into that folder. Run Setup Manager in this folder to create a sysprep.inf fitting to the wanted configuration. Finally run sysprep.
