Windows 7 installation standardization need help

[Win7Maniac]

Hello, I'm Tom from Singapore
normally if you press start> right click the computer > properties, then you can see the windows edition, system, online support, and the computer details right?

Now I got the all boot-able data to upgrade the system to windows 7, I put it as ISO file, then I can put into DVD ROM, so its easy to deploy it to many computer in my small office, but I don't know which file should I change to edit the system information, so I can add the company online support in it and add more information in the windows edition and system information about my company, I know that I can edit it manually after I install it, but I want it to be inside the ISO file, so when I deploy the new OS, all of the computer will got the same windows edition detail, system detail and online support detail. I'm so confuse about this, I will really appreciate for any advice in advance

look for the $oem$ file on the iso and edit accordingly ,you will have to copy the iso to your harddrive to do this
sorry should have said folder not file

Thank you, I will try it tomorrow, because now I cannot access the data from home, My manager block me from accessing it, I will tell if it works, thank you very much

Hello, just now I retrieve an ISO file from my partner who live near to me, he allowed to keep the ISO file for the new operating system, so I borrow him for this purpose, when i try to open the file, I can configure only for the system detail, there is some data above it, it written " windows edition", that part I'm still cannot edit, but other than that I can edit, is there any other folder contain this data? thank you in advance

you will need to use ultraiso or magiciso and extract the oem.xrm-ms file, edit as you wish,you may also want to add an "autounattend .xml" file to assist if you have many pc's to load

No Problem, I knew it was there somewhere but my search terms weren't making it easy to find.

Hello, Derekimo, first of all, thank you for your advice, but I'm going to deploy it to many computer, so I think its a bad idea to manually do all this step, because I think its like 50 of them(computer) need to be configured, I'm afraid I would make a mistake, so I've got the ISO, maybe I can edit it from there and deploy it, so all the thing will done automatically and reduce error or mistype, and I'm also want to add data in the Windows Edition part ( the first part of the Computer System Page ), thank you, I think I will work the whole night now to finish this task

 

[pebbly]

win7maniac just add an autounattend.xml file to the iso, i will try to find a sample file for you

No problem, whatever works for you, it sounds like pebbly had some good advice if you are going to be doing several computers,

you will need to use ultraiso or magiciso and extract the oem.xrm-ms file, edit as you wish,you may also want to add an "autounattend .xml" file to assist if you have many pc's to load

Good luck to you.

[pebbly]

hope all goes well for you
nearly forgot, place the .xml file in the root of the iso

 

[Win7Maniac]

I think I've forgotten everything about xml, I'm really confused right now, I'm now only want to add the data in the image there, I know I'm really disturb you much, I'm really sorry about that, but could you help me to produce the xml to add info for that part? I'm really thank you for that. I think next time I need to retake the course for that xml, I'm really sorry about this, thank you very much

 

[pebbly]

place the image in the </userdata>< your image here> part of the above file, i think thats the right place for it not to well up on xml coding myself

 

[Win7Maniac]

Thank you, I will tell my partner about the XML thing tmr, what a very tiring day, haha,it's like 24 hour non-stop working, if got any chance, I think I should decide to move, but anyway, thank you very much about this
