Hi, i created a very small update service for my Department for setting up Windows 2000 with SP4, Patches, IE6SP1 and Patches. To explain: We use a tool for unattend Installation of Windows 2000 with the most used applications, but this Tool is not updated at this time because End of the year there is a XP-Rollout. So I wrote a little solution for us. First I log in new installed Computer. Then I start a Batch from the Novell-Server (yes we are using Novell) This Batch install the SP4 for Windows 2000 - set an Auto-Login for Novell and then I write in Registry a RunOnce Reg-File for the second batch. After that PC restarts. (Run-Once Entry looks like this: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce] "patche"="X:\\networkshare\\folder\\folder\\patch.cmd" ) Then PC logs on (auto) - the Run-Once CMD-File is called from network and install the patches - after this I call with regedit /s X:\networkshare\folder\ie6sp1.reg In this reg file there is also an runonce entry for setting up IE - but the following happens: The Patches are installed - after that the batch call the regedit option and after this call the IE6 installs itself - but it should install after reeboot - not after installing the Patches... I always thougt runonce is only working after reeboot.... So I ´ll try to call a second batch which only calls regedit/s X\networkshare\folder\IE6.reg - and did not execute it... So you may have an solution for this? I think the batch install the patches - and worked out the runonce entry and if you set a second runonce entry in this batch it will directly executed... So may i have to set an runonce-entry for the looged in user not for the system? So i set one runonce-entry for System - after that a runonce entry for user - after that annother ruonce for system... Or may I have to set the .cmd-file with sleep.exe into slepping for a while... I think I' ll try it with the option runonce for system and runonce for user... May you have annother solution?...
