  1. I created an Unattended CD image, but I'm left with some manual screens.

    The first is a confirmation of a change in screen resolution,

    Add "AutoConfirm=1" to the [Display] section.

    a welcome screen,
    Add "UnattendSwitch=Yes" to the [unattended] section.
    a automatic update screen, a internet connection check sreen, a registration screen (not serial, but registering at microsoft as a user), an add user screen (although there is a oobe.ini file, but I've to check on the location... and an error stating it's unable to execute c:\install\scripts\install.cmd

    Most of these should be solved by setting UnattendSwitch to Yes (see above). The Install.cmd probably isn't executed because you've set EncryptedAdminPassword to Yes. This disables the Autologon feature.

  2. Start menu folders are folders like any other and can be created using the "mkdir" (or "md") command. For instance: to create a "My Apps" folder in the All Users profile Programs folder, use

    mkdir "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\My Apps"

    You can't create shortcuts directly from the command line or a batch file without using a third party program such as XXMKLINK.

  3. What cluberti means is: remove a test computer from the domain by joining it to an existing or a new workgroup. Create a local user account and make it a member of the Network Configuration Operators group. Log on using that user account and see if you can change the IP address. If you can, then the problem is caused by one of the domain policies.

  4. I just install WinXP Pro SP2 onto an old Pentium 233 box, hoping to use it as a media center PC or whatever you call it (hook it up to the TV and watch movies from hard drive, DVD-ROM etc). I know I could just get WinXP MCE but I like to do things the hard way sometimes. ;) The box has 64MB of RAM and runs at (guess what) 233mhz, which is surprisingly sufficient once you remove all the fancy graphics and disable some unnecessary services.

    Could the disabling of any of these services be the cause of your networking problems?

  5. Wow, I just checked Google! Google didn't give sufficient results! :realmad:

    "Only" 670 :huh: Most of the suggestions seem to be permission related. Have you checked these? A fresh install is no guarantee for a trouble-free system, as you have now discovered.

  6. Sounds like a policy setting is keeping you from changing the home page... If you're familiar with group policies, run gpedit.msc and see if any restrictive policies have been set. Did you install Windows and the other software using your own media? What version of IE are you running? If it's IE 7, did you install it yourself or was it installed via Automatic Updates?
