[OPLINTECH] Windows 7 and Sysprep :(

[Robert Schreffler]

Hello All,

     I was wondering if anyone has deployed windows 7 machines yet? Our 
image works fine other than I am having trouble getting the new sysprep 
to prompt for user input in the Computer Name field. Supposedly if you 
manually remove the <ComputerName> tags sysprep will prompt for user 
input. However when I try this the computer automatically names itself. 
I have even tried an invalid computer name (#$/^\, etc) so that sysprep 
would ask for user input on error, and it still renames itself 
automatically. I am using WAIK 
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c7d4bc6d-15f3-4284-9123-679830d629f2&displaylang=en> 
to build the unattended xml file. I have found some forums where people 
have had similar problems and had to use a VB script to rename the 
computer. Thought I would ask before we implement a VB script.

Has anyone had success with sysprep and windows 7?

I have attached our unattend.xml
