Background:
I have Vista installed as a Guest onto a Virtual PC 2007 VM. I want to
customize it, sysprep it and then distribute it to our QA team. In XP and 2K
Pro i was able to do this in such a way that the VM would launch mini setup
and prompt users for a Host Name the first time the VM was launched after
being distributed. All other settings were automated by the sysprep process
including Joining the VM to the 2k3 Domain after being given a Host Name.
Apparently the Vista Sysprep process has been altered in such a way that it
wants to join the domain BEFORE allowing the user to specify a host name.
Microsoft has confirmed this as the problem and tells me i must develope a
script to solve the issue. Unfortunately i know NOTHING about scripting.
What I Need: So what plan to do is have Sysprep auto assign a hostname and
auto join a workgroup. I then would like to have a script auto run after the
first auto logon that prompts the user to rename the Host Name and then auto
Joins our domain with that newly specified hostname.
Is this possible?
