your firewall doesn't accept dns instead of ip ??

Perhap directly in nLite, but you can do it manually, go to winnt.sif under [unAttended] add : Repartition=Yes

Remember the key is dependant of CD (oembios files) and Hardware (just Dell hardware works)

try to save your text file as OEM codepage (with PSPad for example) or open your txt in wordpad and save it as msdos file.

The start menu is loaded too ? if not ... no users are logged so you can try this : Copy this file in $OEM$\All users\Start menu\Startup So when any first user will be logged the batch will be executed and cleans and delete itself.

You have to download * Windows Update v6 about 4,3mb and it's international. * Windows Genuine Advantage to check your version, it's a dll named LegitControlCheck.dll & GWFSPIDGen.dll For dlls put both in system32 and run regsvr32 /s LegitControlCheck.dll to active ActiveX. If I remember there is an offical EXE or CAB ... edit: okay there are already present ... check @ http://sonic9.free.fr/files/Updates/ ... WGA.exe is already silent install by Microsoft WUv6.exe can be run with these switchs : WUv6.exe /wuforce /quiet /norestart

No problem, everyone knew that at least once (sorry if I have make a mistake, it's googled translation from a typic french expression ^^)

your commands are executed @ RunOnceEx or cmdlines.txt ? because at RunOnceEx no users are created yet ...

Post your batch with net use for connect and for deconnect ... I think it's possible to really disconnect any connection at the end of your first batch.

it's the model to create a new other ... if you add shortcut to its desktop .. all new users created will have that shortcut ... same for registry ... Default User is user used at logon page too (for settings like wallpaper, capslock ) ...

You have a fresh install of Windows ? what version ? nLited ?

Vista works with IPv6 too ... if just IPv4 is ready, system says there no activity but in fact all are okay. For sharing folder, I havn't problem, I can access to the host and I can access to Vista virtual machine, I have shared a folder and I have set permissions with a new user and new password , guest sharing seems to be inactive (I have installed Server Longhorn 5270 ...)

@Dynaletik: have you got win2k or winxp ?

First: -For windows 98 most of ghost will work (but in certain case you must reinstall windows 98 over the older to allow to boot !) -For windows xp most of ghost will not work (but if pc are same hardware, or same chipset, pc can boot ...) and for perfect install you must reset SID with sysinternals for example ... to avoid any security problems ...

I must use torrent network to download 3dmark06 last night ... my score is 3783. Config: DFI nF4 Ultra Opteron 146 @ 2,8ghz 2*512Mb Corsair XLPT @ 200mhz/2/2/2/5 BFG 7800GT @450/560 200go Maxtor IDE WinXP SP2 / ForceWare 81.98 VmWare running install of windows xp unattended ^^ (but suspended during bench)

if you make an unattended dvd, winpe can't do anything for you ... other tools on the cd can help you to create winnt.sif fully.

The problem is occured by the CD ... at the begin with EasyBoot (for multi cd) I have forget the countdown, without the install restart at each restart of computer regardless bios because the cd is bootable without any problems. Re-burn & good install !

Windows ignores folder structure, it install drivers in order it detects hardware.

Just past post updated.

by by the way, ATi has released new controlcenter with separate languages so no problem of size now ! edit:you can replace /qb by /qn to avoid any windows progress ...

You can test trial version of Installer Design Studio 3.01, it seems to be more easy (and smaller) than AdminStudio.

Are you using WPI ? what program do you use to install applications ? it's this program to define if it search at root of dvd or other directory ...

At the moment I have modified and I disabled conditions by switch passed by WPI.cmd .. it's based on method of Doc Symbiosis (for network share) and it uses regedit temp regkey ... I will inform you after several testsI prefer ...

I will confirm during this week, but the other topic about DriveType == 3 has fixed all my problems ... btw, you can replace in your WPI.cmd REM Make WPI directory the current directory. for /f "delims=: tokens=1" %%i in ("%wpipath%") do %%i: cd "%wpipath%" to REM Make WPI directory the current directory. cd /d "%wpipath%" it's just more clean "/d" allow to change path regardless current drive.

if you launch install from dos with winnt don't forget "smartdrv.exe" for buffering files during text if not that will be very slow !
