I am in desperate need of help
I have asked to create a corporate image which will deploy to thousands of computers and laptops.
I am so lost in transition .I will give you my scenario in hopes you can help point me in the right direction. The first thing I will copy here is my copyprofile.xml file so that you can tell me if it looks good, I validate it and get no errors! (*by the way - I tried running sysprep without my copyprofile and got a fatal error as wel)

I load Windows
Boot to Audit Mode
I load all my software and updates, drivers, etc
I then proceed to run sysprep (what we are calling pre-sysprep) how I do this:
I clean up the pc, make sure all IETemp folders are clean, etc,,,,
I copy my copyprofile.xml to my %windir% sysprep folder..
from there i right click for an elevated command and drag my file
it starts running only to fail
What is supposed to take place (and i was successful 2 years ago W7Pro as well) is the following
The pc then boots to a user account which allows me to Activate the Administrator and allows me to setup secpol mmc etc .
Once I boot as the Administrator, from there, I can test further now i can test our domain, I can test our locked down user behavior i configure group policies and groups
then i copy my unattend.xml to my %windir% sysprep folder and once again, run sysprep. This time I capture the image as I am ready for deployment. - SYSPREP AGAIN! then shutdown - copy it and ready to deploy!,,,,this is what should happen...
So these are my procedures .i am getting an error during my pre-sysprep (if you will) / i work in a corporate environment so when these computers are shipped to the users from the manufacturer, it already has our image installed to they boot and get to work .
