When i deploy a image with smartdeploy om a pc (with a usb-stick) and country/region are set to Dutch, the settings on the target pc after deploying the image are in the engish state.

Here a quick discription how i make a image. <smartdeploy version="1.1" version_debug="1.1.1980">

- I install windows in vmware, at the setup i set country/region settings to Dutch. (and do a full install of xp machine)

- I capture the vmware machine (standard image)

- I use media wizard to make a USB-stick i can deploy the image with (offline deployment media)

- Then i deploy the image with the USB-stick without a anser file, and select "Dutch (Netherlands)" at the "Language country/region" settings

- i export the answer file, (i can see in the summary, that "input locale:" is set to "Dutch (Netherlands)".

- here the part of the settings of the answer file,

"

</user_information>

<regional_settings skip="0">

<time_zone>(GMT+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna</time_zone>

<input_locale>Dutch (Netherlands)</input_locale>

</regional_settings>

"

- After the deployment, i see that the target pc has the english setting

More info:

- when i look at the reg keys in the vmware machine, the country settings are in the Duch state at:

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International"

"HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International"

- After deployemnt the reg keys are in the English state

- I still got a old Smartdeploy USB-stick i made with <smartdeploy version="1.1" version_debug="1.1.1910"> , i copied the wim file to this stick and deployed the wim file with this version, here the taget pc keeps/sets the Dutch country/region settings. (?)

Thanks in advice for the help

Hi Barry,

Disk 0 should be the disk that you want. You can always double check by opening a command prompt in the boot media (hit Shift + F10 once the machine boots to SmartPE) and using diskpart. Once the command prompt is open type diskpart, then hit enter and type list disk and hit enter again, this should show you all of the disks. You will want to use the number corresponding to the internal HDD. If the internal HDD doesn't show up in diskpart let me know what computer model you are deploying too, as it may need a driver for the disk controller in SmartPE.

Thanks,

Erik

Thanks, works fine now ( i think i did something wrong)

Hello,

I want to use Smartdeploy to deploy a image to a computer, but first i want to let it make a partion of 40GB for the image, and i want it to make a partion of the rest of the disk.

Target PC's can have 1 or more partions in the orginale state.

How dow i handel this with Smartdeploy?

Thanks is advice.

I was to fast with my reaction, > i did work when i entered the command "c:\drivers\devcon.exe install c:\drivers\VClone.inf root\vclone" on a machine that was already imaged. So thats works fine.

But when i try to apply the command in "FIRSTBOOT" it doesnt work. I had to make a batch file, and run it in the "FIRSTLOGIN" fase option. Then it works. Only i have to start up the machine the first time with a admin account... When i try to run the batch file(or command) in the first boot fase it doesnt work.

Hello Erik,

Thanks for the fast respons.

It works!

just had to include the vclone.sys file in the procces.

Thanks!

Hello,

When i install virtual clone drive in VMware it doenst work anymore after i capture and deploy it. The target PC doesnt reconnize the virtual scsi driver any more (within VMware it did work), how can i get it to work?

I use:

-VMware to make a virtual machine and capture it with Capture wizard

-XP (up to date) for the virtual machine.

-virtual clone drive

Is it because the virtual scsi driver of "virtuale clone driver" are unsigned drivers?

Is there something to let it work?

Thanks
