iRock Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'm at work at the moment preparing a base image of a machine to be deployed on other Windows XP Machines.My machine is ready and I have run the GUI "System Preparation Tool 2.0" before running Acronis True Image.My problem is I don't know which option to select.I'm presented with a screen with several options including "Factory" and "Reseal".Can anyone advise/explain the options on this screen?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 factory - Restarts in a network-enabled state without displaying Windows Welcome or mini-Setup. This parameter is useful for updating drivers, running Plug and Play enumeration, installing programs, testing, configuring the computer with customer data, or making other configuration changes in your factory environment. For companies that use disk imaging (or cloning) software, Factory mode can reduce the number of images that are required. reseal - Clears the Event Viewer logs and prepares the computer for delivery to the customer. Windows Welcome or Mini-Setup is set to start the next time that the computer restarts. If you run the sysprep -factory command, you must seal the installation as the last step in your preinstallation process. To do this, run the sysprep -reseal command or click the Reseal button in the Sysprep dialog box.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302577 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
