When creating and deploying prestaged media using System Center Configuration Manager 2007, when the WIM comes back from the OEM on a new target machine the label of the C: drive on the target machine is set to the ID of the user that created the media.

NOTE See the following for more information about prestaged media: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2011/01/11/how-to-stage-task-sequence-prestaged-media-on-a-hard-drive-in-configuration-manager-2007.aspx

Symptoms

This occurs because the media creation process manipulates the label of the C: drive by editing the label attribute in AutoRun.INF.

Cause

Follow these steps to modify AutoRun.INF (which is inside the WIM) and remove the label attribute:

1. Run imagex.exe to mount the WIM (for example: WIM is e:\osd2\image3.wim):

C:
Cd\
Md mount
Cd\program files\windows aik\tools\x86
Imagex.exe /mountrw 1 e:\osd2\image3.wim c:\mount

2. Edit AutoRun.INF removing the lines containing Label= and Icon=:

Notepad c:\mount\autorun.inf

3. Run imagex.exe to unmount the WIM (make sure to exit out of c:\mount or a File in Use error may occur):

         Imagex.exe /unmount /commit c:\mount

4. Update the WIM image on all Distribution Points with a new package source version.

5. Continue following the standard steps to create and deploy prestaged media per the article listed below in the More Information section.
