I’m going to be imaging a computer lab, and I’m wanting to know if anyone has any experience using sysprep/answer files and ghost.
My problem is that I want these things to carry over onto my image:
administrator account enabled with password (that I set)
power options that I set
screen saver defaulted to what I set.
Am I looking at the wrong tools for this? Help!!!
I’ve been using WindowsEnabler.
Basically, set up a profile the way you like it, logoff, login as administrator, run windowsEnabler and enable it, system properties > advanced > user profiles, select the profile, click “copy to” twice, and sent it to c:\users\default
Then, disconnect the PC from the domain and upload it as a ghost image.
Sysprep tends to destroy a lot of settings in profiles that I would otherwise like to keep.
Is there a domain involved? If so, there are some built-in services that handle this, check out Windows Deployment Services.
