Automating Mini-Setup

To automate Mini-Setup

• Create a Sysprep folder on the %systemdrive% of the master computer,

–Or–

• Create the Sysprep.inf, save the .inf file to a floppy disk, and insert the disk at the beginning of Mini-Setup.

Note

The Sysprep folder is deleted after Mini-Setup completes.

You can also automate Mini-Setup by combining the two methods listed above. For example, if you are auditing a computer, run a Sysprep.inf file from a floppy disk with all the necessary responses to speed up the audit. After auditing, set up the original Sysprep.inf to run from the %systemdrive%\Sysprep\ folder so that the customer can respond to the necessary questions during the Mini-Setup wizard.

Note

If you use InstallFilesPath or OemPnpDriversPath in your Sysprep.inf file, make sure the paths designated for these parameters are consistent for all Sysprep.inf files.
