Configuring default settings for Windows image deployment - Update for Windows XP SP3

In my previous post on this topic, I mentioned that Windows XP Service Pack 2 will copy the Administrators settings to Default User (see sections B & C).  The new profile copy is the default behavior in SP2 with no built-in way to disable it.  To disable it you had to request the hotfix from KB887816 from Microsoft Customer Support.

This has changed with Windows XP Service Pack 3.  The fix from KB887816 is included in SP3.  (See KB946480 for a list of fixes included in SP3.)  Therefore, the behavior for SP3 is no profile copy by default.  To enable the profile copy, you now have to add UpdateServerProfileDirectory=1 to the [Unattended] section of Sysprep.inf before running Sysprep.  Unfortunately, due to an oversight you will not find this documented in the Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Reference (ref.chm) included with the SP3 Deployment Tools.  KB887816 is currently one of the only references for this setting, as far as I know.  (KB908784 also references this setting with respect to a problem that the profile copy can cause on Windows Server 2003)

8/3/2008 Update

In this post I orginally provided some instrutions about slipstreaming SP 3 into an installation source with the Tablet PC Edition CMPNENTS folder in it.  Well it turns out that slipstreaming SP3 into the CMPNENTS will not be supported.  See my August 3rd post for details.

Ben,

I captured a wim using the MDT 2008, XP sp3. I've created a task sequence to deploy the wim, but the task sequence returns an error (yellow warning screen) that it couldn't copy the source files from the minint folder to the windows folders? How do I stop that task? The folder is already there since it was created in the original task sequence.

Thanks

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

We would need to see the relevant lines from the BDD.log file before we can help you. Can you post these?

Thanks,

Ben

Ben,

Here are the lines from the bdd.log- and I see that it's actually doing the ltiapply.wsf. It's justa warning, and when I looked the source files were in the source folder, so I assume it was just because the folder already existed. I'm sure I'm missing something.

Thanks as always :)

Hi Andrea,

Check your deployment task sequence and see if you have the Mass Storage driver injection task enabled.  You need to disable it when deploying a custom XP/2003 WIM.  

Thanks,

Ben

Thanks Ben. Another question. I created a network deployment point in addition to the lab deploymetn point. After I updated the deployment points adn tested I saw that a folder was created on the lab point that held a cs ini and bootsrtap.ini file. It looked like when i ran a task sequence for the new network deployment point is was using the cs ini from the folder that was created, and not from the deployment control folder, is that right??? Am I missing something, again? ;)

Hi Andrea,

There is a seperate CS.ini and bootstrap.ini file for each deployment point.  You will find a sub-folder for each deployment under the control folder of the lab deployment point.

I would suggest that you only edit these files through the deployment workbench.

Thanks,

Ben

Ben, Thaks. I know that  and it seemed that wehen I updated the cs ini for the network deployement point it used the one from the strange folder it created. i had hid some wizard pages adn added the join domain and stuff in thenetwork deployment cs ins, but when I ran the deployment (after updating) the customizations weren't being used.

???

Hi Ben,

I'm trying to deploy,make some changes adn recapture my Xp image,whether I disable or enable the inject mass storage drivers I still get a deployment failure on the ztistoragegroup drivers. Is there something else I need to do to re-capture an image? Do i have to rebuild it from scratch?

# re: Configuring default settings for Windows image deployment - Update for Windows XP SP3

Monday, June 16, 2008 2:12 PM by DeploymentGuys

Andrea,

I always advise my customers to never use a process like this (deploy current image, make updates, recapture).  This gets you into bad habits, like making manual error-prone changes.  It also leads to version and change control issues.  If you wish to update your image, backup the current image build Task Sequence, update the automation in the Task Sequence, and rebuild/capture.  This leads to reproducible changes, enables rollback to a previous version, and better version control.  There are obviously more details to implementing this, but you get the idea. (Hmm, perhaps a future post on version/change control for MDT is in order.)  :-)

Thanks for the quick reply. Guess what I'm doing right now- rebuild/capture. ;)

Hello.

We have a problem with deploying win xp sp3. It seems that there should be added a /ref option in the imagex command executed by the task sequence. When we try to run the command in light touch pe with / ref the file is deployed successfully. However we get a bluescreen on the deployed os. We use the same hardware on the computer we capture and deploy, so its not a driver problem.

# re: Configuring default settings for Windows image deployment - Update for Windows XP SP3

Thursday, July 03, 2008 12:09 PM by DeploymentGuys

kjetilbs,

I have not had to make any changes to the MDT LTI deployment scripts to an XP SP3 image successfully.  What is the stop error code at the blue screen?

# re: Configuring default settings for Windows image deployment - Update for Windows XP SP3

Hello,

i recently changed the base installation of our images from Windows XP with integrated SP2 to Windows XP with integrated SP3 and changed the sysprep files to the SP3 files, too.

Everything works fine and in the same way as in the SP2 image, but the duration of the minisetup process, especially the hardware detection, takes much longer on on our target pcs and laptops with the same hardware, drivers and configuration.

I already have posted this in the TechNet-Forum, but no-one seems to have the same issue...

Regards

Peter

Peter,

I have not see any such issues with SP3.  Perhaps a comparison of the setup logs (setup*.log in the Windows folder) from an SP2 and an SP3 image deployed onto the same hardware might reveal some differences.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response.

I have compared the setup.log files of the SP2 and SP3 image and found the cause of the long delay at the hardware detection process:

The DIF_INSTALLDEVICE routine for "Intel(R) ICH8DO LPC Interface Controller - 2814" took 1 second in SP2 and 53 seconds in SP3.

The DIF_INSTALLDEVICE routine for "Realtek High Definition Audio" took 4 seconds in SP2 and 120 seconds in SP3 and ended with "Class Installer appears to be hung. Device = Realtek High Definition Audio", "Skipping installation of enumerated device. Device = Realtek High Definition Audio"

At the 1st boot after minisetup, the system starts with no sound. When i look into device manager directly after startup i see the Realtek device (driver is installed and the tray symbol of the realtek tool comes up), but the device "Microsoft WINMM WDM Audio Compatibility Driver" (wdmaud) is marked as code 18, "driver must be new installed". The installation of the driver begins automatically and some Kernel drivers, i.e. Kernel system audio driver (sysaudio) appear and install. After reboot the sound works normally and all devices are ok.

What could cause this problem?

# Administrator account not disabled by sysprep

Friday, August 14, 2009 1:34 PM by Atolica

Why isn't the Administrator account deleted after running sysprep /generalize?

I get to the welcome page and the Administrator account it's still active although the log file says that it has been removed:

setupact.log:

[msoobe.exe] Successfully removed administrator profile

I added a run command line after the sysprep task in MDT, "Net user administrator /active:no", but the account is still on.

I tried to put the cmd line in unattend.xml, but I don't know where. OObe branch?
