in Off-Topic
We are trying to sysprep some laptops at work for Windows 7 and want to use an answer file so we do not have to constantly type in the Windows key. I have searched all over Technet and Google but I can't find an example to build on. Anyone have some suggestions or an example I can build off of ?

    Why are you not using WSIM?

    We aren't using WDS, so none of our images are WIM files.

    WSIM should be able to generate an answer file for you still though.

    That is what I thought as well. I tried but it wouldn't let me add/modify anything. When I first loaded the program it told me that my options would be very limited since I wasn't using a source WIM file.

    You got the installation media? Get the install.wim off that.

    You are referring to the Windows 7 installation CD, right? There is actually a very interesting story behind why there is not... icon_lol.gif

    Download the windows 7 trial and use that, it would probably work fine.

    Or burn a cd from your MSDNAA ISO you got from WGU.
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.
