Sysprep Missing in Windows 7

[pcdude2143]

Hello all,

I realize this is a Windows question, but I figured a lot of savvy people frequented this forum, and I need help.

I am trying to make a Windows image using an OEM Dell CD for a fleet of Dell computers (obviously). I need to know:

• How to tell sysprep not to destroy OOBE drivers
• Where the crap sysprep is (it's missing from a clean install :/)
• How to get sysprep if it's not easy to find (I've already done a Find on Windows folder, it is most likely NOT on the system itself)

To be honest, you're more likely to find helpful information on a Windows support forum.
Many user here don't use Windows.

Actually, I found it under C:/windows/system32/sysprep/sysprep.exe. I wasn't expecting it to be in a folder so when I pressed tab and nothing came up, I thought it was missing. Oops.

Do you have any Windows forums you recommend?
