Modifying sysprep in Windows 7 after cloning

If you are using clonezilla, rembo, fog or other cloning tool, the normal thing is to clone the image on the target computer, parsing the sysprep answer file on the target computer and boot the computer to run sysprep.

In Windows 7, When you run sysprep on the source computer using a response file (for example sysprep.xml), it automatically creates another file that contains the parameters for pass specialize (as ComputerName).

This file is stored in:

%WINDIR%\Panther\

So once cloned the image on the target computer and before starting and sysprep is done, we will have to parse the file:

%WINDIR%\Panther\unattend.xml
