sysprep for Windows 2003 R2 SP2

up vote 0 down vote favorite

I cannot seem to get sysprep to work on Windows 2003 R2 SP2. I've downloaded multiple version from Microsoft's website.

This doesn't appear to update anything:

This didn't work:

In both cases, I copied both the sysprep.exe and setupcl.exe into the C:\sysprep folder I created.

Does anyone have any insight? Exact steps are appreciated.

	Can you tell us the exact procedure that you are using to sysprep the system? – Zypher♦ Dec 8 '09 at 23:54
	Forgive me - I realized I left this without steps. 1) Extracted the contents of the cab downloaded (For WinXP SP2 + Win2003 Srv) to C:\sysprep 2) Ran sysprep.exe (logged in as local admin) 3) Enabled 'Don't reset grace period for activation' 4) Enabled 'Detect non-plug and play hardware' 5) Shutdown mode: Shut down 6) Click 'Reseal' – codewise Dec 9 '09 at 0:34
	The error message reported by sysprep is: There has been an incompatibility between this tool and the current operating system. Unable to continue. – codewise Dec 9 '09 at 1:19
