Here is my command line, that I use under WinPE: x:\wxp\I386\winnt32.exe /s:x:\wxp\I386 /syspart:C /tempdrive:C /unattend:B:\winnt.sif /noreboot I changed it to meet your needs. Try that out and let me know.

It would help if you gave the exact command line your using, as well as the unattend.txt file contents (minus the key of course).

Is your DHCP server handing out DNS info? On your WInPE build, once you get it loaded and it has an IP, run: ipconfig /all And see what it has for DNS.

Yep, HTA would be my first choice. But I am going to be moving my HTA's to AutoIt3 here in the near future.

Any one know how to edit the: "Windows is loading files..." You could do it under WinPE v1.6 and before, but I've had no luck with v2.0 And zorphnog, good working putting that together.

sorry about that, too early in the morning for replys

Our current Image count is 64. We use "append" to have a single WIM file with 6-8 images in each. Because WIM's use "single instance" storage, we cut our 130+ gigs of images down to 12 gigs stored in WIM's. And when you have to push these images out to multiple datacenters located all over the world, that helps a lot.

Oh, ok. I see what your asking now. Yes you can integrate hardware drivers into a CD\DVD\PXE install. You want to checkout the following: www.hfslip.org www.driverpacks.net

I have two WinPE images. 1) x86 - works on all my 32bit hardware (21 systems and counting) 2) x64 - works on all my 64bit hardware (12 systems and counting) You just need to add the drivers for y9our hardware into your winpe build process.

copy the nslookup.exe to your winpe build before it is finished building. I just tested nslookup in WinPE v1.6, and it seemed to work. Didn't do full testing on it though.

I can verify that AutoIt does work under WinPE x64 (both v1.6 and 2.0).

In your first post, can you give me the specifics of steps 4 and 5: 4) Partition Drives 5) Format Partitions (NTFS)

I've never had to add this to my WinPE1.6 installs. Are you having to add this to all of your installs, or just on some hardware?

Could I make one suggestion? Page 7, item A: Note: WinPE-SRT-Package currently does not work, Microsoft to fix at a later date.

And I'm assuming if you use Winpe1.6 with the same install scripts, everything works fine?

Chris, can you give me a quick answer as to why you need all four of these versions?

I haven't done any testing on this (I'm lucky, all our systems have a min of 512mb), but others have pushed the PXE boot ram requirements. And I think the min ram needed to boot via PXE was 384mb, or somewhere around that amount.

Since you have that hotfix integrated, have removed all the "fixes" from the WinPE2 build and re-tested it?

reg load HKLM\PE-SYS c:\Winpe\Mount\Windows\system32\config\system Reg Add "HKLM\PE-SYS\ControlSet001\Services\vds\Alignment" /t Reg_Dword /v LessThan4GB /d 0 /f Reg Add "HKLM\PE-SYS\ControlSet001\Services\vds\Alignment" /t Reg_Dword /v Between4_8GB /d 0 /f Reg Add "HKLM\PE-SYS\ControlSet001\Services\vds\Alignment" /t Reg_Dword /v Between8_32GB /d 0 /f Reg Add "HKLM\PE-SYS\ControlSet001\Services\vds\Alignment" /t Reg_Dword /v GreaterThan32GB /d 0 /f reg unload HKLM\PE-SYS This code is meant to be used when building your winpe2 image, not once the Winpe2 has loaded into memory. To run this code once winpe2 is up and running, run this code: Reg Add "HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vds\Alignment" /t Reg_Dword /v LessThan4GB /d 0 /f Reg Add "HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vds\Alignment" /t Reg_Dword /v Between4_8GB /d 0 /f Reg Add "HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vds\Alignment" /t Reg_Dword /v Between8_32GB /d 0 /f Reg Add "HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vds\Alignment" /t Reg_Dword /v GreaterThan32GB /d 0 /f I saw your exact problem back in December, but after using this method I have not seen it on any systems since. There is also a hotfix released by microsoft for this issue. I'll post the number on Monday, don't have it here.

No problem. Sometimes we all need a little nudge in the right direction.

I'm not 100% sure on this, so take it with a grain of salt.... But I thought WinPE had restrictions for incoming connections (meaning you can make any).

I have both Standard and Advanced Server 2000 working on WinPE2. Post your unattended.txt file you are using. (make sure to remove any keys) Also post your command line for winnt32.exe

Here is the devcon output on my devices for the DL380-G5 This was pulled off WinPE 1.6, but it douldn't matter where the devcon scan was run.

Are you using the Broadcom NetXtreme II - RIS drivers? Just off the top of my head, that was the way to get Network working on my NetXtreme NIC's

Anyone know of a setres type app for x64 Winpe?
