2009 – Gergely Rózsa To copy the operating system to more target devices. After all customizations are done (operation system settings and applications are running fine) Use Sysprep to avoid collisions among cloned images Clone the image by using the free tool Microsoft Imagex. (Or Norton Ghost, etc...) At least HAL should remain the same... 2

2009 – Gergely Rózsa Use Sysprep to avoid collisions among cloned images. Examples: SID, computer name, fixed IP, other network settings, etc... Step1: Copy the complete SYSPREP directory from the installation disc(utilities directory) to the C: drive of your device. Step2: Start the SYSPREP.EXE Step3: Select the minisetup on the GUI windows of the SYSPREP application, if you want minisetup. Step4: Select reseal to reseal the image. The SYSPREP starts now to remove all the settings, which can cause conflict among the cloned images. Restarts the device.... Step5: Before the device restarts, you have to capture the image. Step6: Copy the image to the target device. It starts to boot, SYSPREP generates unique SID, and starts minisetup or the normal setup screen. 3
