Howdy, I currently use WDS (RIS) for my XP OS installations at work and it works great. Just trying to optimize it a bit and would like some input on how to do it. Currently my folder structure is as follows... \$OEM$\$1\Install\Drivers\<model>\Bios \Hp_dc7700 \Hp_wx4550 So during the RIS installation it is copying all these drivers to the workstation. So if I have 15 different models it is coping 14 sets of drivers unnecessarily. How can I tell RIS to only copy the model I need? Thanks

nice work. would anyone happen to know how what the command line would be when running this from the RunOnceEx? thanks!

Howdy, I had the same issue. SAV 10.1.5 was detecting this is as a threat. To get around it in SAV they have an option called "Global Security Risk Exclusions" and I added "HackTool.HideWindow" to the list and it now dosen't bother it. Hopefully your AV vendor has some kind of exclusion list as well.

thanks for the reply, but there are 9 files in the cab file. where do all the others go? 04/26/2002 11:09 AM 556 crviewer.dep 04/26/2002 10:32 AM 714,048 crviewer.dll 04/26/2002 11:09 AM 3,400 crviewer.inf 03/19/2002 11:31 AM 0 crviewer.oca 04/17/2002 03:42 AM 108,107 cselexpt.ocx 04/26/2002 11:08 AM 423,272 reportparameterdialog.dll 04/26/2002 10:33 AM 58,672 sviewhlp.dll 04/26/2002 10:32 AM 128,328 swebrs.dll 04/26/2002 10:32 AM 159,824 xqviewer.dll

i can't believe no one has done this before???

Howdy, Has anyone figured out how to deploy the Crystal Reports ActiveX control? Thanks

Adding "FullUnattended" worked!! Thanks guys this forum such a great resource!

Thank you for the reply. I removed the extra spaces and quotes, but still the same result. This is so frustrating for something that is so simple. Here is what the SIF looks like now... ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated=1 UnattendedInstall=Yes floppyless=1 OriSrc=\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH% OriTyp=4 LocalSourceOnCD=1 [Components] AccessOpt=Off chat=off deskpaper=off freecell=off hearts=off hyperterm=off media_clips=off media_utopia=off minesweeper=off msnexplr=off OEAccess=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off templates=off zonegames=off [SetupData] OsLoadOptions="/noguiboot /fastdetect" SetupSourceDevice="\Device\LanmanRedirector\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" [Unattended] OemPreinstall=Yes DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnpDriversPath=\Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Nic;Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Audio\WDM;Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Chipset\XP;Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Chipset\XP\SP;Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Video;Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Video\Graphics UnattendMode=ProvideDefault TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=LeaveAlone NtUpgrade=No OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=No AutoActivate=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes Hibernation=No UnattendSwitch=Yes [GuiUnattended] OemSkipWelcome=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 TimeZone=035 [UserData] FullName="Default User" OrgName="Company ComputerName=%MACHINENAME% ;[Identification] ; JoinWorkgroup = "WORKGROUP" [Identification] JoinDomain=%MACHINEDOMAIN% DoOldStyleDomainJoin=Yes DomainAdmin=User DomainAdminPassword=password [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Display] AutoConfirm=1 Xresolution=1024 Yresolution=768 BitsPerPel=32 Vrefresh=60 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=107 Dialing=Tone AreaCode=519 LongDistanceAccess=9 [RemoteInstall] Repartition=Yes UseWholeDisk=Yes [WindowsFirewall] Profiles=WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode=0 [Shell] DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes [OSChooser] Description="Windows XP Professional SP2 - DC7600 TEST10" Help="This will install Windows Professional in a standard configuration."

Howdy, Just thought I'd share what I am doing for this situation. It's nothing fancy, but it's simple and works well.. RunOnceEx.cmd REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Creating Local Installation Source" /f REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\i386.cmd" /f i386.cmd cmdow @ /HID net use z: \\ris\REMINST\Setup\English\Images\WindowsXP_Pro_SP2\i386 /USER:DOMAIN\USER password xcopy "z:\*.*" "C:\Install\i386\*.*" /s /y net use z: /delete exit

Howdy, New to RIS and am loving it! I have always created ghost images so I am familiar with automated desktop deployments. I am using the cd image type (not riprep) and some of the options in the SIF file are not being applied to my installation. Can someone help figure out what I am missing? The items that are not working are 1. Time Zone is not being set properly 2. Nothing in [Display] is being applied 3. Nothing in [TapiLocation] is being applied 4. Nothing in [Components] is being applied. I don't want these components installed, but they are being installed. ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition = "1" MsDosInitiated = "1" UnattendedInstall = "Yes" floppyless = "1" OriSrc = "\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" OriTyp = "4" LocalSourceOnCD = "1" [setupData] OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect" SetupSourceDevice = "\Device\LanmanRedirector\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" [unattended] OemPreinstall = "Yes" DriverSigningPolicy = "Ignore" OemPnpDriversPath = "\Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Nic;Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Audio\WDM;Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Chipset\XP;Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Chipset\XP\SP;Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Video;Install\Drivers\Hp_dc7600\Video\Graphics" UnattendMode = "ProvideDefault" TargetPath = "\WINDOWS" FileSystem = "LeaveAlone" NtUpgrade = "No" OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade = "No" AutoActivate = "Yes" OemSkipEula = "Yes" Hibernation = "No" UnattendSwitch = "Yes" [GuiUnattended] OemSkipWelcome = "1" OEMSkipRegional = "1" AdminPassword = "*" EncryptedAdminPassword = "NO" AutoLogon = "Yes" AutoLogonCount = "1" TimeZone = "035" [userData] FullName = "Default User" OrgName = "Company" ComputerName = "%MACHINENAME%" ;[identification] ; JoinWorkgroup = "WORKGROUP" [identification] JoinDomain = "%MACHINEDOMAIN%" DoOldStyleDomainJoin = "Yes" ;[Networking] ; InstallDefaultComponents = "Yes" [Display] AutoConfirm = "1" Xresolution = "1024" Yresolution = "768" BitsPerPel = "32" Vrefresh = "75" [TapiLocation] CountryCode = "107" Dialing = "Tone" AreaCode = "519" LongDistanceAccess = "9" [RemoteInstall] Repartition = "Yes" UseWholeDisk = "Yes" [Components] AccessOpt = "Off" Chat = "off" Deskpaper = "off" Freecell = "off" Hearts = "off" Hyperterm = "off" IEAccess = "off" Media_clips = "off" Media_utopia = "off" Minesweeper = "off" Msnexplr = "off" OEAccess = "off" Pinball = "off" Solitaire = "off" Spider = "off" Templates = "off" WMAccess = "off" WMPOCM = "off" zonegames = "off" [WindowsFirewall] Profiles = "WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall" [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode = "0" [shell] DefaultStartPanelOff = "Yes" [OSChooser] Description = "Windows XP Professional SP2 - DC7600 TEST7" Help = "This will install Windows Professional in a standard configuration."
