Finally got me to change how we were doing it. To insert a image for HTML it is htmlfile.WriteLine(“<img src='LogoName.gif'”) and in RTF it is {\field{\*\fldinst INCLUDEPICTURE LogoName.gif \\d}{\fldrslt {}}}

It turns out WindowsPE was running a command called startnet.cmd that was overwriting my sysprep.inf. I then found a batch script that removes the two lines in startnet.cmd that are causing the problem.

The sysprep.inf file that I have at C:\sysprep\sysprep.inf works perfectly when I deploy the syspreped image with Acronis.

However, when I build a configuration and then a deployment set in RPK 3.4, the ensuing image does not use my sysprep.inf for an unattended setup. I am trying to use the xml posted to generate a usable XPUnattend.xml, but I have not been able to get that working.

If any of the previous posters could let me know how they got their deployments working I would be forever grateful.
