I have upgraded the Windows 8 to windows 8.1 and the machine contains all the configuration for VS 2012 and rest

I have searched the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Sysprep

But i coud'nt find anything for SYSprep mode

The value for sysprep was (Value not set)

  • looks like you're the same users who asked this on Technet. Have you looked for a value called SysprepMode in the registry?

I finally got the sysprep to work

You need to take care of the following things

A> It doesn't work with upgraded PC

B> For fresh installation and creating sysprep you need to activate the administrator account delete any other user account

C> Don't update any of the metro apps. Normal windows update is fine .

D> If you need to add any other settings please use the answer file settings.

Tested with Windows 8.1 Enterprise

  • I've successfully gotten a system to sysprep and capture into WDS after an upgrade. Just delete the registry DWORD HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\Upgrade. Don't worry if it is a 0, just the mere presence of this value prevents sysprep from running. Also, make sure you delete c:\windows.old and the c:\Windows~BT folders or your image will not be able to deploy due to conflicts.
