There is no need to delete Prefetch during unattended install... This is adequate operation after running xp for few months...

If someone use Gmail, I would recommend Drive Extender... Temporary storage drive with 1GB capacity is quite nice

This is what U need to join domain (in your unattend.txt) [identification] DomainAdmin="DomainAccount" DomainAdminPassword="password" JoinDomain = "DomainName" Autologin to domain is same as autologin to workstation, U must include DefaultDomainName with name of your domain. Any other questions?

Heh, that name is strange... Looks like MS changed something since I was studying protocol BTW if U R in domain, U shouldnt have problems with access rights - NET LOGON user password /DOMAIN:domain /YES /SAVEPW:NO

Simple answer - CHTHL-QUOTA is longer than 8 characters (maximum dos can use)... U should create alias for this server...

Longhorn will be great! Just look ad "double" MS policy - w95-w98, w2k-xp and now longhorn... I am using Monad and I love it - that is why I believe Longhorn will be much better than everyone though

2Supafly: Ah, not forget... Forget about connecting to server by IP address - it cant be done, because U must provide netbios name Sorry, I think U wont find dos medium capable of this... Why U cant connect by using normal pc name?

I mean like ultimate boot cd for unattended installations... Small, fast, universal. 2Supafly: I will have a look if mine can connect to IP address - but it is not problem of boot medium, it is problem of TCP/IP connection (NetBios)

Well, I got strange problem I am completely logging my unattended installations (more than 2k logs now)... 1.) running installation from DOS - first log entry 2.) beginning of technological layer 3.) end of technological layer 4.) beginning of standard layer 5.) end of standard layer 6.) beginning of closing layer 7.) end of closing layer Points 2 and 3 R performend during RunOnceEx, 4-7 from USD. My problem - in my log I see: [RUNONCE START],Ÿt 06.01.2005,16:40:06,75, [RUNONCE KONEC],Ÿt 06.01.2005,16:40:09,08,Server There is 3 seconds difference! And script is about 5 minutes When I was creating timestamps, I found out this time is actually BEFORE RunOnceEx run... Can someone explain this strange behaviour?

Well, guys, I wanted to make from my disk another MSFN project... What do you think about it?

Wait until monday, I will provide U with mine...

I really like MSAS... I used Giant before MS bought it and I think it is best antispyware SW on market... Only one "problem" is it takes pieces of SW as spyware - for example after uninstalling FlashGet it still mark it as spyware, but this is good for variants of spyware. One thing I am really looking forward to is Microsoft AntiSpyware Enterprise edition

BTW my script for chipset installation, it is good for network installations: 'Automaticka instalacia ovladacov pre chipset a nastavenie biosu 'Martin Zugec '12.7.2004 '20.9.2004 Option Explicit On Error Resume Next Dim objWMIService, objShell Dim strBoard, arrayBoards, strInstallPath Dim strTypPocitaca Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:root\cimv2") Set arrayBoards = objWMIService.InstancesOf("Win32_BaseBoard", 48) Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.shell") strInstallPath = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName,Len(Wscript.ScriptFullName) - Len(WScript.ScriptName + "n")) & "\" for each strBoard in arrayBoards Select Case Trim(LCase(strBoard.Product)) Case "optiplex gx150" 'Wscript.Echo "OptiPlex GX150" NainstalovanieChipsetu("gx150") Case "00t606","02x378" 'Wscript.Echo "Optiplex GX260" NainstalovanieChipsetu("gx260") Case "0x1078","0r2472","0u1324" 'Wscript.Echo "OptiPlex GX270" NainstalovanieChipsetu("gx270") Case "0n4846","0968h","0G5611" 'Wscript.Echo "OptiPlex GX280" NainstalovanieChipsetu("gx280") Case Else Call OdoslanieMailu 'wscript.echo ".

In that case remove 9x computers from voting and left only XP stations...

Hi! Got following problem: In RunOnce.bat I am preparing RunOnceEx registry key structure... Everything (well, almost) works fine, except REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Remove Outlook Express shortcuts" /f REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "reg add \"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}\" /v Stubpath /t REG_SZ /d \"\" /f" /f REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 2 /D "reg delete \"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\>{881dd1c5-3dcf-431b-b061-f3f88e8be88a}\" /f" /f V1 works fine, V2 got error Cannot find path... I think problem is here: >{881dd1c5-3dcf Anybody encountered this problem? Using \ (like with quotes) didnt help

It is not about services, it is about a.) using WINS server b.) creating master browser architecture (registry settings) In your case I would use one computer as master browser and others release from this process

Well, there R(were) 2 projects - there was emulation possibility for about 5 games, with framerate around 10 and graphic problems

Emulation of PS2 is now quite hard, emulation of Xbox is now quite impossible:( Expect only average results. If you find any solution, let me know

English, czech, slovak and german... Trying to learn chinese these days

GP

Compared to past website I can see a lot of approvement

2MHz: Thx, didnt notice... But I just dont understand why did they stop it - using presence of runonceex.err as way to determine if script was performed successfully or not would be great

Saw it few times... Every time bad memory, try Windows Memory Diagnostic

Hmmm, if U looked on process threads, which one was responsible for this? BTW have anyone here been trying WUS? I think it is really great!

But still the same - Flags looks like not working... Or is it only my problem?
