sysprep install steals the whole disk

[mrmovie]

Hi all,
I create a sysprep image and sysprep.inf file from a server which as a 10Gb partition.
When I then deploy this sysprep image using ADS it ends up stealing the whole of the disk it was placed on...i.e. 256Gb etc.
I have had a look at imgdeploy.exe and there are no params to prevent this.
I have had a look at the sysprep.ini [DATA].AutoPartition entry but this doesnt sound like it will do what i want either.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks
Rich

Do you have a line in your sysprep.inf file under the [Unattended] section like this ?
ExtendOEMPartician = 1 --or-- 0

Here is a excert from the ref.chm file that is included with sysprep.
------------------
ExtendOemPartition
Specifies whether to extend the partition on which you install the Windows operating system.

Syntax ExtendOEMPartition = 0 | 1 extra_size_in_MB
Values 0 == Sysprep does not extend the partition.

1= Sysprep extends the partition to fill out the hard disk.

extra_size_in_MB = Sysprep increases the current partition size by this amount. This is useful if you want to configure more than one partition on the hard disk.

Example ExtendOEMPartition = 1 2000
-----------

I use ExtendOemPartician=1 -> since we have several different size drives on our machines and want to be able to use the full drive after we ghost them.
I hope that this helps or answers your question
