    I want to allow domain users to install software and updates without making them local or domain admin? I've been through group policy so many times and I can't see a policy that would allow the users to install, hopefully I've just missed it. Simple as that really, just getting bored of applying patches and stuff.....

    I'm running a simple script with CMAK (Connection Manager Administration Kit) to check/make a registery change pre-connection, but during runtime %username% returns as NULL %systemroot%\system32\cscript.exe "%systemdrive%\documents and settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\connections\cm\rdrukvpn\vpn_reg.vbs" ERROR MESSAGE "C:\documents and settings\NULL\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\connections\cm\rdrukvpn\kb311218.vbs" Was not found When i manually run this script within a DOS prompt or from RUN, its fine. Also it makes not difference whether its run as a cscript or wscript, still the same error. any one know why it would return NULL? Thanks

    found a work around, saying that i was suck with it..... i never believe that poo poo. In order to do this, you need to open up the client (manually, not specifiying .rdp file) and connect to your XP Pro machine using the same computer name stored in your .rdp file. When prompted for your credentials, enter them exactly as you would if you were entering them on your XP Pro machine, and check the save password box. After you have successfully connected, disconnect from your XP Pro/2003 Server machine. Open up the client again, make sure the computer name is still set to your XP Pro/2003 Server machine as used above, and then click the edit credentials hyperlink. The credentials screen should have your username as entered above, with the password box blank. Click the OK button to save your credentials, do *not* enter a password in the box. Uncheck "Always ask for credentials". Optionally set all of your connection preferences and then click the Save As button and over default.rdp file for this connection. Click the Connect button. This time it should connect to your XP Pro/2003 Server machine, but stop at the Log On to Windows screen with the user name field pre-filled and the password blank. Username and password are no longer stored in the .rdp file. Please let me know if you have any questions.

    I'm trying to deploy a CMAK (Connection Manager Administration Kit) created VPN connection via GPO, but failing as GPO only deploys MSI's. I've tried installing using start up scripts and batch files, yet i'm still not fairing any better. Any help please

    Simple as really, I’ve been hitting a ton of search engines looking for the answer and I’m still no better off. Any clues?

    I'm assuming that no-one has noticed this part of WDS or everything works fine for everyone else
  17. cjoyce1980
    use a tool called nLite, it works like a dream http://www.nliteos.com

    I currently have WDS running in mixed mode. I have noticed that if i right-click on one of my RIS images, i have the option to convert to WIM. upon trying to run this i get the following error: Wdsmgmt could not load a required library. If this a version of window prior to Vista, please install OPK/WAIK toolkit and ensure that drvstore.dll and cmiv2.dll are in path I'm using a Windows 2003 Server with SP2, I have WAIK installed, anyone have any clues?

    I'm trying to do a SMS Zero Touch Install, and for this i need software apps to be installed silently. I would prefer MSI's but if is possible to do it with EXE's then thats just as good. The apps i'm installing are in-house software which a custom EXE file was created. I dont mind creating these again if i can install the software silently. Thanks
  21. cjoyce1980
    wow!!! that tool is just crazy. dont think i'll be using that. this is just a thought but how about an installation file creator but will allow me to creator silent install exe's, if MSI's are going to be a problem?
  22. cjoyce1980
    I've been looking for a while now to repackage my old EXE's to MSI's to allow quiet unattended installations. I've used a few MSI wrappers but to aval. does anyone know of an easy to use freeware MSI's creator or EXE to MSI convertor. Thanks

    After succesfully deployment of vista with WDS and WAIK, i've started to play with BDD2007 to try and make my life a little easier. The lite touch installation goes find, until about half way throught the vista image drop when it looks of a file called WDI.DLL. I've looked on google and no joy, apart from one site that wants me to pay £13($20) for this one dll file. Any ideas?

    You need to create a Local Account with the rights of Local Admin, Power User & User in your unattended.xml file. During the unattended installation, it uses this account to do the domain join, plus if the domain join doesn't work it has an account to fall back on.

    you have to use Windows Deployment Services to deploy WIM files. RIS will only deploy riprep install images.
