DNS Zone Transfers Incomplete

I am as stuck in the same bureaucratic mess as you are -
We're in for some big money, my friends and I think we love money at least as much as Microsoft Also, let's not forget the concept of Software Assurance itself, it's always easier to milk companies than end-users

[revised] Vista sysprep question
dexter.inside replied to Tripredacus's topic in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008
Actually I am doing something wrong, I am bypassing msiexec and the TrustedInstaller in order to componentize my stuff (let's call it unorthodox slipstreaming). If VMware can do it, why can't I ? Anyways, there are some pieces of software that break sysprep due to poor architectural vision, and that makes me very sad. The very reason for me to go over MS installers. -
WPD is "Windows Portable Device" Driver Model. Try to manually reinstall the Mobile Device Center from here
-
1) CABs are no longer used for driver storage. It's faster to install drivers from a uncompressed file repository 2) What you call "windows installation" is actually a straightforward wim decompression onto a target partition, followed by the last stage of a sysprep (mini-setup). Its only real bottleneck is the linear read speed of the medium containing the WIM. 2) Reducing compression would actually increase install time in some conditions. A larger WIM would take more time to read from a DVD.

How about Windows Server 2008 Core ? That would work gracefully. -
Create My Own Recovery Partition?
dexter.inside replied to awyeah's topic in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008
Yes, Acronis does have a backup/recovery system using a hidden partition. Instead of making a .tib file, it saves the contents of a partition as raw data on that hidden acronis partition. No big deal, and is quite useful for laptops. -

You are forgetting that most users don't even grasp the notion of 'recovery' for their OS -
