• Windows XP: Run C:\SYSPREP\SYSPREP.EXE -factory -quiet

Note: If you are making a Windows XP Home image, make sure you are logged in as the Owner account
before running the above sysprep command.

12. Important: Before you continue to the next step, read “Limitations of Symantec Norton Ghost” on page

127 or “Limitations of PowerQuest DeployCenter” on page 128 to learn about special preparation
procedures associated with your image-cloning tool.

13. Use either Symantec Norton Ghost or PowerQuest DeployCenter software to create the image files. If

you intend to deploy the image using CDs, make sure you use the tools provided with Ghost and
DeployCenter to segment the image into files that can fit on CDs.

Note: Set the maximum file size for CDs at 600MB. If you are using Symantec Norton Ghost version 7.5,
make sure you use the -cns parameter when creating the image.

14. Store the image file in its own folder. In the case of CD deployment, where you had to segment the

image into CD-sized files, store all of the files in a single folder. Make sure the folder is in a location that
is accessible to the ImageUltra Builder console.

15. Store the Image-cloning tool you used to create the image (Symantec Norton Ghost or PowerQuest

DeployCenter) in the same folder as the image file.

16. Store any batch files or script files you may have created in the same folder as the image file.

17. Continue with “Setting the attributes for the new base operating-system module” on page 131.

Setting the attributes for the new base operating-system module

The following information describes how to set the attributes for a new Portable-Sysprep Image base
operating-system module without using an existing module as a template. If you want to set the attributes
for a new module to match the attributes of an existing module, see “Setting the attributes based on an
existing base operating-system module” on page 132
.

To set the attributes for the new module, do the following:

1. Open the repository where you want the new base operating-system module to reside.

2. If your repository contains folders, navigate to the folder where you want the new base operating-system

module to reside.

3. From the Main Window menu bar, click Insert and then click Operating System.... The New Module

Wizard opens.

4. Click Next.

5. Verify that the Operating System radio button is selected, and then click Next.

6. In the Name field, type a name that you want to use to identify this module. Be as specific as possible.

This name will be the name that appears in the repository.

Note: It is a good idea to include the image type as part of the name, such as (PSI) for Portable-Sysprep
Image. This will help you when you create your maps.

7. Click the No radio button to indicate that this module is not a container.

8. Click Next.

9. Click Next without selecting any of the modules listed.

10. Click the Base Operating System radio button, then use the drop-down menu to select

Portable-Sysprep Image.

11. Click Next.

12. Click Finish. The New Module Wizard closes and the Operating System window for the new module

opens.

13. In the General tab, do the following:

a. In the Version field, type the full version number of the operating system.

b. In the Type field, verify that Portable-Sysprep Image is selected.
