SysPrep Syntax


One StepSysprep [Sysprep.Inf] [-quiet] [-nosidgen] [-reboot] [-pnp]

Where:

Sysprep.inf
Is a file created with Setup Manager to customize the Mini-Setup routine that will run the first time the target user restarts the computer.
-quiet
suppresses confirmation dialogs displayed to the user.
-nosidgen
informs Setupcl.exe not to generate new SIDs on the restart.
-reboot
forces the computer to restart instead of shutting down (useful during auditing only).
-pnp
The Mini-Setup wizard will detect new or different Plug and Play devices on the destination computer and disable those that were used on the master computer but not found on the destination computer; however, you might want to use the -pnp switch to enable legacy device detection or to re-enumerate the devices on the destination computer. Using this switch adds a few extra minutes to the end-user's experience in order to do a complete hardware redetection.
