This could be caused by a number of things...audit mode is picky. If you establish internet connection in audit mode, it will cause this. If you install some apps like AV's or other apps that use current user section of temp file or registry, you will get that. I recommend to test in VMware to find where the issue is. Like btdag said, check log files to help troubleshoot the issue. Sorry I couldn't help more.
When i press ok after pc restart and prepare partition and the other stuff when finish all this pc shut down when i open then stuck here View attachment 28625 i cant have access on Windows\System32\Sysprep\Panther .i install again windows 7 and before i run the sript i found this on Windows\System32\Sysprep\Panther View attachment 28626 and this View attachment 28627
The proplem solved the proplem was on services of windows defeder i stop two services of windows defeder and some other and all work ok.Thanks for advice.
The following rules should be applied when syspreping the computer : - NO Antivirus or, if installed, have the service STOPPED before running sysprep (don't put them to disable though, otherwise they won't work on next reboot) - NO internet connection. Unplug from the net and REBOOT - NO pending Windows update or incomplete update. Reboot 2-3 times to be sure at first - NO Deamon Tools installed - Check for Windows Media services. If running, kill them first
How can I have OEMLOGO.BMP copied to C:\Windows\System32\OEMLOGO.BMP automatically? The registry entries and OEM branding information show up fine, only logo doesn't appear. I have to copy it into system32 manually. Is there a script that I can put into one of the files? Windows 8.1 using 3.0.0 Alpha 2
Are you talking about the multi oem project by Searchengine? The reason I ask is that your above comment has nothing to do with this project. Just saying. If you are using Searchengine's project then look at the reg entry... You will see it is pointed to %windir%\system32\oobe\info\ and depending on windows version your .BMP should be there. If your using something else to insert your oem branding then I cant help for I have no idea how you or the tool you are using is doing it.
Hi I tried this on a bios pc with Windows 8. All ok on the creation phase. Once installed I completed the Windows user creation, then I ran Recovery Tools and then I want to repair my computer. Windows restart and I chose reset your pc and it takes a looooong time to restore all pc, is normal? Once recovered, I think all is ok. So I created another user and I tried to make the same, just to be sure, but on "recovery page" Windows ask me a media. What's wrong? Tnx, J
You should have selected "Just remove my files". The other option is like a full format of the partition - which is where the delay is.
If the other user acct wasn't set as admin then that might be why. The only user acct that should be able to use the recovery tools should ONLY be the Admin User Acct. You don't want a guest user having ability to redo your system do you? Not a good idea, if you value any data on that machine. lol
Mmm, I don't know well W8, so I re-tried all, from start. But I noticed a little error on the second phase, after the first reboot, right before the Capture done. Where I can find a log, to see if some error happens?
Ok tnx, I'll But there is also a log for the script? Because I think that I saw something like " ... not found ... " but I don't know exactly!
That error is about the sysprep tool not being opened...in other words you manually closed the sysprep tool window and the script checks to make sure that window is closed...if it is closed it will say error about sysprep tool window not found is all. Nothing to worry about.
Thanks AnarethoS this is a great & useful tool! As I have used a couple of things from this site already & this will b a 3rd I'd like to contribute if I can. I'm a professional software developer so if you haven't sorted out the issue about a GUI for partitioning the hard disk then I'm willing to create it for you which will then generate or edit the files. The same GUI could also be run in unattended mode to use the file to re-create the partitions. Let me know what you think. Had an idea about those that want to have a data directory & during a restore don't want that data partition I was looking at the ResetPartitions.txt for how this could be achieved. Except I don't know in which cases of the restore process the ResetPartitions.txt file is used. Original script as follows for MBR. Will try GPT next, not sure why Windows x86 wasn't GPT compatible (tested under VMWare only). LIST PART returns the same result if either the original or the updated script is executed. It does mean the original partitioning has to be done by hand first though. Note GPT doesn't allow extended partitions which is why the GPT data is a primary.
