define didnt work. error msg, nothing happens? have you tried this? start /wait iTunes.msi ISSETUPDRIVEN=0 SILENT_INSTALL=1

sorry about last post i got the wrong folder, but try this one should work, works for my itunes, so should work for your winrar Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "cmd /K cd %programfiles%\winrar & winrar.exe", 0, false

ah found it http://ucsu.colorado.edu/~shaher/Bootable_USB.html

write MBR to your flash drive and make sure USB legacy is switched on in your bios diff bios's call it diff...it will be clear:) read about how to write master boot record here: http://support.gateway.com/s/USB/5502664/5502664faq18.shtml there was another nice guide how to do it but i cant find it now good luck

"PID_KEY=xxxx" and your key after your /qb switch by any chance?

sorry pass on this one

have you read my reply?

you didnt search did u;) anyway here it is: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=30941 my old post

@prathapml, these are not quite switches they are properties that are described inside every MSI file under Property paragraph, so these are unique for this particular package and not nesseceraly will work for all others, some will like USERNAME or COMPANYNAME. @durex, when you launch installation in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp you will find various log files and temp files so if you keep your install open you will see what it does by reading log files, most of the time;) p.s. you can add any of these properties into msi using something like orca and not writing them in your command line:) good luck!

right, i have just found something...with administrative deployment in fact you dont even need administrative msi just launch setup and copy setup files from TEMP folder you can find itunes.msi file you need there. next problem with error message that comes up if you try just installing this .msi with /qb switch what you need to add is "ISSETUPDRIVEN=0", "SILENT_INSTALL=1" and if yo uneed "REPAIR_INSTALL=1" any other changes can be made with one of these properties: ACTION=ADMIN AA="Audible Audio" AIF="AIFF Audio File" AIFC="AIFF Audio File" AIFCREGENTRY=0 AIFF="AIFF Audio File" AIFFREGENTRY=0 AIFREGENTRY=0 ALLUSERS=1 ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ APPLE_COMPUTER="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\" ARPCONTACT="AppleCare Support" ARPHELPLINK=http://www.info.apple.com/ ARPHELPTELEPHONE=1-800-275-2273 ARPNOMODIFY=1 ARPPRODUCTICON=ARPPRODUCTICON.exe ARPURLINFOABOUT=http://www.apple.com ARPURLUPDATEINFO=http://www.apple.com/itunes/ ASSUME_MEDIA_DEFAULTS=0 ASSUME_QT_DEFAULTS=0 AUTOPLAY_CREATECD="Create a CD" AUTOPLAY_IMPORTSONGS="Import songs" AUTOPLAY_PLAYCD="Play audio CD" AUTOPLAY_SHOWSONGS="Show songs" CDA="Audio CD Track" CDDA="Audio CD Track" CD_CONFIGURATION="C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration\" CD_CONFIGURATION1="C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration\" CD_CONFIGURATION2="C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration\" CD_CONFIGURATION3="C:\Program Files\iTunes\CD Configuration\" COMPANYNAME="your company" DRIVERS=C:\WINNT\System32\drivers\ DWUSINTERVAL=30 HIDE_QT=0 INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\iTunes\" INSTALLLEVEL=1 INSTALL_DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=0 IPODDIR="C:\Program Files\iPod\bin" IPODSERVICE.RESOURCES="C:\Program Files\iTunes\iPodService.Resources\" IPODSERVICE.RESOURCES1="C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.Resources\" IPOD_BASE_DIR="C:\Program Files\iPod" ISSCRIPT_ENGINE_VERSION=8.1.0.293 ISSCRIPT_VERSION_MISSING="The InstallScript engine is missing from this machine.

you can write an WMI script for event to happen to kick another process, read up about it in WMI documentation possibly even get wmi scriptomatic to help you writing the script. i remember seeing when you loop process until event is true, good luck:)

attrib +H "%systemdrive%\whatever you want to hide" /S /D may be

alright...i think we will have to go with plan B make shared account add it to Administrative group and then explicitly deny logon locally for that particular account through GPO. :\

check how big is your %windir%\system32\LogFiles? if its empty then just ignore me...

when you run command line which installs AU service you need following: %windir%\inf\I386\WUAUCLT.EX_ %windir%\inf\I386\WUAUENG.DL_ %windir%\inf\I386\WUAUSERV.DL_ and it should work with no problem, make sure these files are cabbed not just renamed otherwise it wont work. also dont try to fix you AU service with old file versions if you are running SP2 get new versions. hope that helps.

if it popped up with "duplicate IP" warning - then look for another machine with fixed IP if you cant ping the same IP when your problem machine is off then you shouldnt have any more problems just /release /renew IP. if it cant renew ip then it should give you an error message, which one?

define it doesnt work?possible that it cant find files it needs to install the service, find them in i386 of your distribution also it needs a reboot afterwoods

well thats easy, try pinging the same ip that seems to be duplicated on the network then do arp -a and find out mac address of that machine, find it, check its setting i bet you it will have fixed ip set up assign it back to dhcp on both machine and bobs your uncle;)

thnx for all of your suggestions, @D3H6G9: all users must have rights to render (e.g. leave machines locked for valid reasons) as an equal opportunity. @SecretNinja: we have this GPO in place already its when they leave machines after 10min screensaver kicks in and then machine lockes itself after that. i think what i need is to find out how i can make particular users being able to log off other domain users without being local admins, or may be they think they are but somehow take all other rights and persmissions away from them to do anything else on the machine. is that possible?

ic what you saying and yes it would be perfect but i forgot to mention that we have another type of users, they need to leave machine rendering their work, like 3dmax or maya or inventor/cad, premiere or afterFX so those usually leave note on the machine so we dont log them off. students will eat us alive if we do the logoff.scr;)

hi all, we are having a little issue with people leaving computers locked in computer labs and no one can obviously use them unless they restart the machine or call us to unlock it for them which sometimes is very frustrating coz we've got better things to do then going around labs unlocking machines. so basically we have production coordinators that suppose to manage computer bookings etc so we want to delegate this task to them, but we cant seems to figure out how to do it coz they are not in the administrative group. We dont really want to make them admins just for that, does anyone know if there is another solution to this? we use NT domain with no AD (ldap authetication). any ideas are welcome cheers

you can use sc <server> start [service name] <arg1> <arg2>
