I'm looking to Deploy Windows 7 and i like acronis for the speed. but is there a way to use sysprep with snap deploy or mount an answer file to an acronis image to use snap deploy?

Hello Brent!

Welcome to our Forum, we're glad you joined us! Thank you for your question as well, I will be glad to answer it!

You can surely use Microsoft System Preparation Tool (sysprep) before taking an image of the source system.

In order to successfully image such machine you need to do the following: 

  1. Install OS Deploy server and PXE Server onto any suitable machine
  2. Configure PXE server to contain Master Image Creator
  3. Run sysprep on the target machine
  4. Reboot the machine and enter BIOS
  5. Choose to boot from the NIC
  6. Reboot the machine - it will boot from the network and get into the PXE server to the Master Image Creator.
  7. Feel free to take an image

I would advise you to take a look at the chapter 7.1 in our User's Guide for more details.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you!
