Thx for your faster response. I will continue with these settings .... One last question, being in test phase, the boot USB key, must be "redone for each test" (in the same configuration), or as it seems to me the cleaning when the command "Update_Settings.cmd" is sufficient? Thank you all, for your responsiveness!
you use usb stick only to install win7 with the AutoUnattend file in audit mode, that's all, then as it mentionned in the documentation, to capture you need to first run "Update_Settings.cmd" then "Install - Windows 7", and right after that, the capture process starts, and when you want to recapture, you just have to run "Install - Windows 7", no need to run again "Update_Settings.cmd" By the way, i've just done another test, using the size (60000) on both of these files (autounattend.xml and ResetPartitions.txt) and it worked well, didn't face any issue while capturing process was running.
Thx for your test, mehdibleu, but i work with WINDOWS7, and i have no found this files: “ReCreatePartitions.txt” and “ResetConfig.xml” non trouvé, but i return to my tests also.
sorry i made a mistake, i meant both of these files (autounattend.xml and ResetPartitions.txt) and i did the test on win7 64bit machine and it worked well.
It really does not matter! Sorryb ut i have a lot of questions: What virtual machines are you using, for your tests? Personally i use VmWare V 12 and V14 with "plpbt.iso" for the boot. Seems ok for you? the formatting of the USB key, FAT 32 or NTFS is important? It's all for this evening! Thx+++
i usually use VirtualBox for most of my tests but this time i choose to do the test on real machine (an old machine of mine) but VmWare will also do the job. No need to use usb stick on VM, you just use the iso to emulate win7 installation on your machine. If you decide to do the test on real machine, choose FAT32 if your bios is in UEFI and FAT32/NTFS (does not matter) if your bios is in Legacy/bios.
I largely solved my problems, using an iso image instead of a USB stick (faster ....) and passing on a machine with a newly installed operating system! Conclusion: My work computer was in need of formatting, and thanks to you it should be the last laborious ..... Thanks ++++ J'ai solutionné en grande partie mes problèmes, en utilisant une image iso au lieu d'un stick usb (plus rapide....) et en passant sur une machine avec un système d'exploitation récemment installé! Conclusion: Mon ordinateur de travail avait bien besoin d'un formatage, et grace à vous ce devrait être le dernier laborieux..... Merci ++++
Oh sorry to have missed all thèses post. Everything is fine for you now @NJN ? Also, yes, I "master french" as you say. I live in Montréal, Québec. And no, I don't work for Microsoft. I just a SysAdmin in Montréal. Thanks all to help you each other like that
No problem my friend, we are here to help each other, btw i speak french as well , your tool is quite impressive i must admit and it works great, for this we should thanking you as well and for all what you provide as knowledge to this site.
Merci "Chef" l'entraide a fonctionné parfaitement! Je me répète, mais l'outil est super, un seul défaut pas de version Française! J'ai "peiné" car ma machine de travail sur laquelle j'ai fait les test avec VMWARE, a un windows7 TRES TRES fatigué. Donc sous peu elle sera en pleine forme! Thank you "Chef" the caring worked perfectly! I repeat myself, but the tool is great, a single flaw no French version! : p I "pained" because my machine work on which I did the test with VMWARE, has a windows7 VERY VERY tired. So soon she will be in great shape!
did you install AV in audit mode while syspreppinng by any chance ? if it's the case, that could be the reason why you got that error message, no AV should be installed in audit mode otherwise you take the risk of having this kind of problems. thank you for the tip btw, great find buddy, yes i'm sure it will help a lot of members here. i suppose that you had to put your hands into your pockets to thank your wife for this
RE-Hmmmm .. Not AV, but software to maintain the activation of windows and others, for not having to re-enter each time. Tested beforehand without errors. I will review this point anyway. An idea about the relationship between the data volume on C: and the corresponding size of the recovery partition? PS: My wife was very happy .....
if you are willing to install a large number of apps , you need to increase the recovery partition size because the image disk is saved in that partition so the more you install apps the more recovery partition size needs to be increased.
and did it work ? as i said, if you are thinking about installing a large number of apps, you need to increase the size of recovery partition to a maximum as the image disk will be saved into this partition.
No does not work, but the causes seem many ... It was during this installation, that my wife found the solution to not lose everything work done. @ +
