Hi - i have a question......
I\'m trying to do something, which i feel should be quite easy but Microsoft\'s OEM manuals etc don\'t seem to be giving me exactly what i need. Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Here\'s what i\'m trying to do:
I build computer systems for music and we\'re about to move to XP from Win98, which means that i have to get to grips with sysprep-ing my cloned machines in order to change Product Keys (98 was an easy reg hack). Now i\'m quite into all the branding OEM opportunities etc but i seem to hit a simple problem. I\'ve installed a master machine, branded it and everything. I then run sysprep to reseal it, then clone it for numerous systems. When i boot back up and reach the minisetup screen the user name i used for the master install appears as a logon option.
When i install the master i have to add a user name during the GUI setup - maybe there\'s some magic way i bypass this, or is there a utility or sysprep command line option which removes all trace of my profile. The user profile has been copied to the \"Default User\" profile in order to retain the branding so all i want is for the customer to type their own name and Product Key and have them logon as the only user.
There\'s no network or configuration files involved, i\'m doing old skool installation from CD - \"legacy preinstallation\" i believe its called.
Anyone out there who can help - i\'d appreciate it.......
Many thanks
Robin
