Ah C I am VB fan. However I was thinking I would like to include this tool on my UA presentation if you dont mind. However first we will need to create xml files for it. Are there any volunteers around? So we could divide the work and we can do it faster?

If I could ask you and MOON, please write a 2do list...

Hey Rikgale! I left for vacation, I returned this week and had to finish some work (backup implementation)... However we can continue with work now. I am preparing one 15 hours long presentation about deployment + 21 hours about scripting + 6 hours about Vista + MSH, so my response will be quite delayed these days, however I dont want protectua to die.

2JD: Oh man, is this decision final? BTW whats the source language?

Use WMI QFE class (Win32_QuickFixEngineering) In cmd it is wmic qfe

Nice collection BTW I am one of that 25%

Hello JD, Nice app dude, however I think that we will need to add the sections... I am going to send you PM Martin

Hmmm, I tried to build BartPE from my MSDN EN XP and it works great... Looks like problem with CZ version

I know and I got that drivers... I just did a fresh bartpe installation - problems remains. So there must be another problem somewhere - 1.) PE is build from czech OS 2.) I am using VirtualPC 2004 SP1

You probable read about "grid" computing. I am really intersted in these technologies - and its not only me I created one project last year about grid bussiness, we will see it in few years. For example IBM is strongly supporting grid technologies and Microsoft is preparing something called BigTop - looks like nextgen MS OS (I am not talking about Vista) will allow P2P performance share. You can find a lot of documents about it, however it is more academical then practical problem today BTW example of grid computing is NASA artificial search

Batches are great for beginning! After then I would switch to JScript/VBScript and later (after Vista) to MSH...

AFAIR MPlayer had ability to redirect output... You can have a look...

I am absolutely for SP2... For me personally it is best service/feature pack released yet from MS. Many important changes like virtual computer zone are really impressive

Well, I think Vista will be faster... a.) better memory management + background defragmentation + prefetching b.) GUI handled by GPU c.) and one of the most important thing is Vista will be designed for HDDs with 1GB Flash Cache

I am prefering using RoboCopy from Resource Kit (www.microsoft.com). What is your problem exactly?

You can use my method of AppPaths to replace almost anything you want... See my blog (few pages ago)

2Hamins: It looks like he didnt even redirect clients to wsus server...

How did you provide the settings to the client?

2ramik: Yep, I noticed that, too... However that it why it is beta Did you report it?

Hi Alex! What you are asking for is somehow different from goals of SDS. However after SDS is ready, I would like to work on unattended guide for network installation. What you are asking for is already available - you just need to use BartPE/WinPE + TFTPd32 (PXE server)...

I will, however I NEED your ideas and request right now... While SDS is in creation state

Download ORK tools from Microsoft - you can modify your office installation. I must absolutely agree with totoymola...

But I like the new way... XImage, WIM, it is really great!

Why are you trying to repackage msi installation??? Have you lastest AdminStudio patches?

For server based operations I would recommend robocopy (free from Microsoft), it is really awesome error-prone utility...
