[OEMSpecific]

Answer File = Oeminfo.ini

You can store more specific information about the computer in this section of Oeminfo.ini. This information does not appear anywhere in the Microsoft® Windows® user interface. However, a support technician can gain access to this information by instructing the end user to click Start, click Run, and then type Oeminfo.ini.

You can create any entries that you want in this section. There are no length limitations.

Using Winbom.ini to store order-specific information on the computer

If your factory uses a build-to-order process, you may be programmatically generating a Winbom.ini file during your order entry process. If so, you can use the [UpdateSystem] sections in Winbom.ini to write specific information about the order or customer in Oeminfo.ini during Factory mode of Sysprep.

Example

Include this section in Winbom.ini:

[UpdateSystem]
UpdateInis = UpdatesToOeminfoFile

[UpdatesToOeminfoFile]
<Windows directory>\System32\Oeminfo.ini, OEMSpecific, , Submodel = 456A0123
<Windows directory>\System32\Oeminfo.ini, OEMSpecific, , SerialNo = 12345678
<Windows directory>\System32\Oeminfo.ini, OEMSpecific, , OEM1 = Built from image 20010630
<Windows directory>\System32\Oeminfo.ini, OEMSpecific, , OEM2 = Factory location: Redmond, Washington

Note

• Replace <Windows directory> with the fully-qualified path for the Windows directory. The use of %WINDIR% is not supported.

When Sysprep processes this Winbom.ini file in Factory mode, it writes the following information in Oeminfo.ini:

[OEMSpecific]
SubModel = 456A0123
SerialNo = 12345678
OEM1 = Built from image 20010630
OEM2 = Factory location: Redmond, Washington
