sysprep sp3 autochk not found when deploying an image

DParent's picture

I updated my golden image with XP sp3 and all the windows updates. Created a new sysprep.inf file. Ran sysprep on the master computer. Shut it down and captured the image.

When I deploy the HII image to the test computers, sysprep starts to run then give me the error "autochk program not found -skipping..." then goes into a continuous loop rebooting.

I tried rebuilding the image from scratch, using the sysprep from sp2 that works good on my current image. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

RE: sysprep sp3 autochk not found when deploying an image

I am not sure what Symantec application you are using,  following link has infor about the error msg u are seeing and has a fix that uses a Symantec executable.

HAL Files

We run into this same issue. We use HII Tool, for HAL & Driver injection. The HAL files for XP SP3 are different than from SP2. Either you have to update this files in your driver injection process, or in your base image. It should not have anything to do with the sysprep files you're using.

 

Hope that help
