Run SysPrep for OS Type GETIMAGE

OSIM provides two support OS types—GETIMAGE and GETIMAGE-WEPOS. Running SysPrep prepares a model computer for multiple deployments using the support OS types. Before you can capture a model computer using either Microsoft ImageX or Symantec Norton Ghost, you have to add the required Sysprep files to the OS image.

Note: You must ensure to add the correct version of Sysprep that correspond to the operating system running on the model computer. For information on the version of Sysrep files to use, go to http://www.microsoft.com.

To add the Sysprep files

1. Navigate to Software, Boot and OS Image Library, Image Prepare System, Local OS Images.

   The local OS images are listed in the right pane.

2. Right-click the image that is of type GETIMAGE or GETIMAGE-WEPOS, and select Properties.

   The OS Image Properties dialog appears.

3. Click the Sysprep Integration tab.

   The page lists the operating systems that support Sysprep integration and shows the Sysprerp integration state for each operating system.

   Note: The OS Embedded Sysprep integration do not require any action as they are already added to the OS.

4. Click Add Sysprep.

   The Select Sysprep File dialog appears.

   Note: Typically, the Sysprep files are available in the OS setup CD under support\tools folder.

5. Select the appropriate Sysprep file, normally deploy.cab and click Open. Alternatively, you can select sysprep.exe if the Sysprep files have already been extracted.

   The required files are copied to the OS image for the selected OS. A success message appears if all the required files are available and copied to OS image successfully. You are returned to the Sysprep Integration tab where you can see the following changes:

   • The Sysprep Integration State appears as Added
   • The icon preceding the operating system turns green

Note: For more information about creating OS images, see the OS Installation Management Administration Guide.
