hidden unattend.xml file when using Prepare for Image Capture?

  • 1.  hidden unattend.xml file when using Prepare for Image Capture?

    Posted Jun 29, 2016 12:19 PM

    Recently inherited responsibilities for our deployment solution (7.1). I'm trying to update one of our windows 7 images, and as such am updating the answer file. So far, every time after I run the Prepare for Image Capture Task, once that's done the PC reboots with the old unattend.xml file.

    I've tried changing out the answer files on the image itself, the one in c:\windows\panther\ always gets overwritten with the old file. The only other location for an answer file is c:\windows\system32\sysprep. That one does not get overwritten. Also, if I use sysprep from the local machine, it copies the file from that folder into panther.

    On the server, the only place I see an answer file is .\Altiris\Notification Server \NSCap\bin\Win32\X86\Deployment\unattend.xml. I've swapped that for the new one, but no change. 

    Does anyone have any idea where another unattend.xml file could be hidden, or where Prepare for Image Capture pulls it's answer file from?
