  • 1.  Ghost Server will not perform Sysprep/Imaging functions

    Posted Jun 11, 2015 09:54 AM

    Hello:

    I'm unable to get Ghost to perform any Sysprep functions.  I'm running Ghost on a Windows 2003 platform. Ghost version is 11.5.1.2266. My goal is to be able perform a Sysprep/Image Capture of a Windows 7 (SP1 64-bit) desktop.

    Imaging on its own works perfectly fine as it always has. My problem is with the Sysprep function. I have tried numerous configurations but always end up with the same result which is that the Windows 7 system produces some dialogue and then reboots itself without performing the Sysprep. I always have to reboot it a second time after this function before it will reconnect to the PXE Server.

    I tried using the Windows 7 (64-bit) configuration built into Ghost but that doesn't work. I then tried copying all the Windows 7 Sysprep files onto the Ghost Server and adding my own configuration. When I browse for my Sysprep files it locates them and displays the following:

    Supported OS: N/A

    Sysprep.exe: 6.1.7600.16385

    SysprepCL.exe: 6.1.7601.17514

    When I click on the OK button nothing happens. It never lets me go any further and consequently doesn't allow me to add my own config.

    I have read all of Chapter 23 of the Implemention Guide and think I'm doing everything as described but just can't get it to work.  I've included a couple of screenshots.

    Am I missing something? It would be a lifesaver to get this to work.

    Try checking for log files in c:\windows\panther and c:\windows\system32\sysprep

    Hi Andy:

    Thanks for the reply.  The logs don't contain any information on either the Client PC or the Ghost Server.  I don't think the Sysprep process ever starts.
