sysprep Win2K SP2

[Guest Pat Hall]

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?

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.

so this means, you want to run sysprep to deploy servers (non Domain

controllers)?

states, that you find the tool in

is the one for Windows Server 2003 SP2.

Typo?

In the deploy cab you find also a help file, which may explain some details

about the howto use sysprep.

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?

not sure what took away the tabs, but reapplying the service pack may help.

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.

You may also check this KB article, as the procedure is the widely same as

for Windows XP:

XP"
