Added to my growing collection of Yzöwl awesome script to do whatever you want with a nice small piece of code.

I would like to try your utility. I have already a M$ server (with DHCP/TFTPD) with PXELinux installed. Just give us some infos about the version of PXELinux / ISOLinux used by your project. don't want to replace files of a working PXE Server allowing me to boot DOS bootdisk images and WinPE SDI image by downgrading some binaries. If you are using the latest binaries, it would be better to add a link on your web page to H Peter Anvin SYSLINUX - The Easy-to-use Linux Bootloader software. and give users instructions of required binaries in the downloaded archive. Merci pour ce projet prometteur.

On the new Fujitsu-Siemens Business Line of computers, the BIOS option is set in Power >> LAN >> Wake On LAN boot: Force LAN boot after Wake On Lan mac address is printed on label near the RJ45 Network Connector. I have currently a Win2003 Server with TFTP service set and PXELinux. From the server, i can change the default image to boot in PXELinux configuration: Universal Network DOS boot disk or WinPE image. With some minors changes, i may be able to get the mac address sent by one util from DOS booting and output to text file on a network share. When i get all the mac address of computers, i can then switch PXELinux default to load the winPE image. Not sure it would be faster than my current solution but want to try different ways. Actually, i need to plug a keyboard, power on each new box, hit F12 key to PXE Boot Universal Network DOS boot disk, connect to samba share to load ghost.exe and launch script to load image to disk and then shutdown box.

Currently experimenting different way to output list. On a fresh install of Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or 2 slipstreamed and Windows Update Agent 2.0 installed Step1: copy and paste the script posted at this URL: searching__downloading__and_installing_updates and save as WUA_SearchDownloadInstall.vbs in %systemroot% folder. Step2: cmd /k cd /d %systemroot% Step3: cscript /nologo WUA_SearchDownloadInstall.vbs Step4: for /f "tokens=1-4* delims== " %a in ('type %SystemRoot%\windowsupdate.log ^| findstr /i "Title"') do @echo.%e>>WUA_list.txt Step5: for /f "tokens=1-8* delims= " %a in ('type "%SystemRoot%\WindowsUpdate.log" ^| findstr /i "Downloading" ^| findstr /i "http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/"') do @echo.%f>>WXPlist.txt

Most entreprise level desktops have Wake On LAN and PXE boot capability. You send a magic packet to each desktop to wake it up, and then tell the PXE BIOS to boot WinPE via TFTP. No need to insert a boot CD in the box drive.

Yes. Using PXE, DHCP, TFTP, Windows service, directory structure, .ISO file, BartPE, RAMDisk and slipstreaming drivers are usual tasks i perform with RIS under W2K3 Please post your XPE PXE instructions.

Where are copied your 3 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet for hp drivers files for unattended install in your install tree before launching the install? b57win32.inf b57win32.cat b57xp32.sys and try to add this line in [unattended] section Your old Broadcom driver b57w2k.sys should be upgraded Win2K Pro = NDIS 5.0 = b57w2k.sys WinXP Pro = NDIS 5.1 = b57xp32.sys This is an unchecked answer because i never upgrade an existing OS, considering it's the worst solution. But unattended new install of HP Evo desktops with Broadcom NICs works fine.

See here for my built list for WinXP SP1. I haven't yet checked if it's error free but it's a good start. Please report your try and error.

Doing it with FEdit is too complex: Editing text file from batch file I have already used SED for appending lines to an existing inf as posted here in this old archived post, i was adding new lines one by one. SED allows to insert a block of lines before defined pattern with one command: for updating HIVESFT.INF, i will add this 1st line to HIVESFT.TXT: /[AddReg.Upgrade]/ i for updating HIVECLS.INF, i will add this 1st line to HIVECLS.TXT: /[DelReg]/ i add backslash \ at end of each line to be inserted (including the 1st). special metacharacters like backslash \ or quote " need to be escaped with an added backslash \ left [ and right ] square brackets are escaped with an added backslash \ Finally i will use gsar.exe which is exactly the needed tool.

I have parsed with HIVEUPD.CMD some lines from a lot of KB######.INF files of Microsoft Critical updates and output the result in two files: HIVESFT.TXT and HIVECLS.TXT i would like to insert hivesft.txt into %source%\i386\HIVESFT.INF at end of [AddReg] section: just before next section called [AddReg.Upgrade] i would like to insert hivecls.txt into %source%\i386\HIVECLS.INF at end of [AddReg] section: just before next section called [DelReg] could it be done with a batch?

What about this then? copybar.zip It is a cmd file without third party tools etc. which I have wrote as an example. It works fine on my test systems.Just make sure that there's enough space on your system drive, pop your CD-ROM in, stop it spinning up, unpack the file, double click and watch! Regards @Yzöwl Nice script. It runs under WinPE after adding required files (not third party tools but OS command line tools) find.exe and mode.com in my image. but takes too much time from copying files one by one rather than *.* @gunsmokingman I would like to try your script but using a network drive (or HDD in external enclosure) as source instead of CD Drive. could the code been changed for checking the ident file on these installation media like S:\WIN51

you can install only SMBUS and IDEATA133 with $OEM$ method. try Drivers From CD (AutoIt Method) SATARAID or SRAID64a are mass-storage drivers and you have to use TEXTMODE MassStorageDrivers Method to install one of them.

I've have found an alternative to hexedit some bootsector. I've have restored from network the original OS image shipped on a recovery CD by the manufacturer. Image was made with Ghost and i've used GhosCast Server from Symantec Ghost solution Suite to restore gho image stored on network shared CD to my local notebook HDD. Partition restored is FAT32. Now, i can boot the partition 3. Next step, on partition 3 i have swapped XP files (ntdetect.com ntldr) with 2003 Server SP1 files.

hi mod's, i would like to remove an old attachment to a post: XPC Test, post #30 to save some space for future use on My Controls. the attached file can be deleted because it doesn't contains valuable infos and will not make the whole topic not understandable. Unfortunately, topic has been closed a long time ago by GreenMachine XPCreate. Please could a mod remove the attachment for me. Thanks.
