Big BURP. It is still not responding. Just trying to use it for the first time and anxious. Guess, I will just check back tomorrow.

We do this all the time on our Compaq servers. They have utilities where you can automate the disk and partition creation. If you are using a name brand server they may have something similar.

I use GDISK.exe from Ghost. It will allow you to automate creating partitions of whatever size you like and format them.

MCT, THat is exactly what I'm doing. I call regedit /s c:\config.reg during cmdlines.txt phase. It is taking other settings. Hate to get so far and run into crap like this. <G> Jim

Your code references [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors] Maybe it should reference: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Colors]?? Just a thought... Loz. Loz, When doing an unattended setup it is running as the .DEFAULT user so HKCU settings are applied to the default profile. It is working for most settings, just not for the desktop colors. Jim

Thanks. I may try that as a last resort, but would prefer to get it working as it should. The rest of the reg file merges in security settings that I do not really want to leave around in a batch file on the server. Thanks for your quick reply. Jim

I ran a command during cmdlines using regedit that sets the customzed desktop colors. I see the were changed in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Colors, but when I creat a new user the colors are not used. This is for a 2003 Server build. Any ideas? ;==================================================== ;Control Panel - Colors [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors] "ActiveBorder"="192 192 192" "ActiveTitle"="0 0 255" "AppWorkSpace"="255 255 255" "Background"="128 128 128" "ButtonAlternateFace"="192 192 192" "ButtonDkShadow"="0 0 0" "ButtonFace"="192 192 192" "ButtonHilight"="255 255 255" "ButtonLight"="192 192 192" "ButtonShadow"="128 128 128" "ButtonText"="0 0 0" "GradientActiveTitle"="0 0 255" "GradientInactiveTitle"="128 128 128" "GrayText"="128 128 128" "Hilight"="128 0 0" "HilightText"="255 255 255" "HotTrackingColor"="128 0 0" "InactiveBorder"="192 192 192" "InactiveTitle"="128 128 128" "InactiveTitleText"="192 192 192" "InfoText"="0 0 128" "InfoWindow"="255 255 255" "Menu"="192 192 192" "MenuText"="0 0 0" "Scrollbar"="192 192 192" "TitleText"="255 255 255" "Window"="255 255 255" "WindowFrame"="0 0 0" "WindowText"="0 0 0" "MenuHilight"="128 0 0" "MenuBar"="192 192 192" ;====================================================
