SYMPTOMS
If you use the DHCPClassID option in the Unattend.txt file when you use the System Preparation tool (Sysprep) to deploy Microsoft Windows 2000-based computers, the computers do not receive the specified Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Class ID (CLSID) set.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Sysprep does not generate an Answer map file at the following registry key:

Therefore, Sysprep does not update the DHCP CLSID set.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, add a &quot;[GUIRunOnce]&quot; section to the Sysprep.inf file. Set the DHCP Class ID by using the /setclassid option to call Ipconfig.exe. To do this, follow these steps:  Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type the following commands. Press ENTER after you type each command.   CD sysprep   notepad sysprep.inf 

 At the bottom of the Sysprep.inf file, type the following text:

[GUIRunOnce]

Command = &quot;ipconfig /setclassid * &quot;

</li> On the File menu, click Save, and then click Exit.</li></ol>
