Re: SYsprep with Mini-Setup Wizard

If you want to have the admin-profile copied, yes you need to logon as
admin and make the changes. if your are using the windows welcome
logon style you can press ctrl+alt+del twice to get the standard
"domainlike" logon box.

This is interesting. Thanks for this.
I am using XP Professional SP2. I see a User, a Default User and All Users
under c:\documents and settings. In User Accounts there is only listed
User(Computer Administrator) and Guest (turned off).
In the computer management console I do see an Administrator account, but no
profile under c:\documents and settings. Do I need to log on as the
Administrator account, and make the changes there? If I go to User
accounts, there is no Administrator account listed, which is what is
throwing me off here.

Changes in sysprep for XP SP2 now copies the admin-profile to the
default user profile during sysprep mini-setup. If you would like the
old sysprep behaviour you can request a hotfix for rhis.

Hi,

I am creating an image using Sysprep. For our own reasons we are
invoking the mini-setup wizard when it reboots. I need to be able to set
the desktop settings (ie: no wallpaper, specific color schemes, etc) when
the users log on for the first time. How can I do this? I tried
adjusting
all the settings in a user profile, and then copy it to the default user
profile, but it still comes up with that god-awful wallpaper.

Thanks,

twf
