i think any update that requires reboot(and maybe has files at work at the time of installing which is same thing actually:))
will cause this thing
i just cant figure out where it is exactly and what controls that gui:)
could be nice to migrate my apps to running in this nice gui before login wouldnt it:)?

hey there
sorry about that
wasnt sure if it fits the unattened forum or here.
anyway what i meant is not specific to ie8 i mean in general to any update
what controls that display action after reboot(phase 1 25% 50% and all that)
thanks

Hi guys
i have a quick question maybe someone here knows the answer
i am looking for the registry key(or something else)
that controls what you see after installing updates that require reboot.
example:
i upgraded to ie8,it asked for restart
i reboot the computer
before i log in i see the welcome screen and then a screen that says "installing updates phase 1 25% 50% .....
i am looking for the thing that controls that(in xp you had that runonce key but in visat/7 its something else)
thanks in advance

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Make sure the command is executed in admin approval mode ... and reboot is necessary to take effect.
great guys thanks
here is what i did
just like with xp i run the cd detection and after that runonceexec.cmd at stage 4(thats like the 8min coundown in xp)
then on firstlogon... run the iernonce trick from dvd
to launch the same old great runonceexec(looks nice and shinny:)) so it looks cooler and you see whats installing when.
so
after that only thing i have to edit is actually just the runonceexec.cmd and thats it.
thanks alot guys
always great place to learn new tricks

hi there
is there away toi disable uac using build in unattended script(xml autounattedned)?
thanks
(the reason being that then i can login with administrator and install my apps using runonceexec without ever being prompt)
thanks
0 -
i am always sure that disabling uac in vista setup will enable us to use same old method
of runoncexec just like in xp
i dont think that has changed besides the fact regular user with uac doesnt have permission over there or something
will check tomorow
if anybody else has any ideas
post:)

The funny thing is, that you will see the runonceex window for installation of applications during auditUser pass but not during oobeSystem pass.
Haven't found out so far, how to control that...
Regards,
Martin
by the way your guide is awesome man
makes it very simple to start moving with vista unattended
keep up the good work(had to use transaltion for some stuff but really great)

hi there
i am testing my vista dvd and while i am testing i thought
couple of months ago i saw apost about runonceexec not fuctioning on vista anymore because ms has removed some dll that executes that.
but when i start vista for first time i do see "customzing internet settings....." window with all kinds of user specific settings it does
anybody has any info on that?
it looks much cooler then executing it with synch commands no?

my mistake again
sorry for the confusion
i did the whole process again and i saw same results
when i click on langugaes it says 1.2gb reduction(suposed to remove 1.2gb)
but the end results is only 400-500mb are removed
any idea?
0 -
ok
my mistake
i only wanted to remove languages
and its only 400-500mb:)
i thought its more
so vlite is 100%
the iso is 2.01gb
instead of 2.5gb
0 -
you must be forgot to click on Apply, didn't you?
i dont think so
i clicked apply and then prompts me for rebuild or other option
i selected rebuild(to reduce space)
then on that last page i selected save iso

hi
im trying to do something and it doesnt work:)
maybe somebody has an idea
im trying to remove the extra languages on the vista ultimate dvd to save spece and to make this my default dvd.
i created a new folder f:\vistadvd and f:\vlite
when i open vlite i choose tem as : f:\vlite
i choose my dvd as source and vlite copies it to f:\vistadvd
i SELECT the 4 languages (so they are removed)
press next next(rebuild to save space)
and on the iso page i select save iso
but the iso comes out the same size as the original 2gb+-
what am i doing wrong here?
thanks in advance for all replies

Its fact you can Acronis or ghost your drive and be restored in a matter of minutes with all the Tweaks and applications running. XP with a blank drive for my Vista install takes all of 2-3 minutes. Could do that way before Vista.
Unattending is the challenge of creating and learning something instead of taking the default install. One day we may not have that option. Hundreds of coasters later till I started using RW I still don't have the perfect DVD because I decide I want another application and maybe don't want something else or discover something else someone posted and its off to try it out. Help advance the knowledge and power.
Yes more and more want the easy way and they'll grow more stupid each day if they aren't learning something. Anything, and it don't have to be this if its not your cup of tea.
The sun will shine on anyone that will get out in it.you are 100% right
i like the challenge too:)
i am done with xp dvd its working fine and i stopped updating it
one thing to note is acronis or ghost willnot let you deploy an image to a diffrent hardware(youll get blue screen in xp)
but today when everything is virtual
acronis has an addone that will let you restore to diffrent hardware(not even sure in most cases u even need that in vista,since it knows its stuff almost in any situation)
but again for the challenge im starting new dvd with vista:)
will keep updating
great forum

hey guys
im looking for info on vista unateended and since i know this was the place to check on special tweaks in xp i am checking this topic every once and awhile.i know alot has changed and have been in depth with this thing for the last 8 monhts(long before release)
but to tell you the truth im thinking this:
since vista ent,ultimate and buisness are the ones that are hardware independed.
and most of us use those versions.
do we really need an unattended install with this?
in 99% of all pc hardware today we can just sysprep an already installed image capture it using 2 ways:
1.ghost image(for those hardwares that work,most of them will since vista is loaded with drivers and is hardware independed).
2.ximage to take an wim file(so we can inject drivers if needed)
and i think we are covered:)
we have all software installed
all hotfixes(can add them to the wim file if needed)
and all drivers almost(we can add more to the wim file,for example i added all intel inf files)
let me know what you think guys
thanks

Hi my server hdd fail on me today, as i do not have any ghost copy of the operating system a reinstall of my windows server 2003 standard edition might be necessary.
can the current desktops and laptops still login to the reinstalled domain? Assume i create back all the same user login etc.
if you'll reinstall your domain and not restore from backup, no they can not, you have to re-join them to the domain ...
then this way all the user profile will be lost am i right to say so?
yes
because all usernames will have diffrent strings in their sid's and so will create new profile based on that sid
but you can always restore all profiles to new ones

lets just say
wait for beta 2:)

what actually happens when you boot from dvd is winpe is being loaded from this file>>boot.wim
and this launches the install which goes to this file install.wim
0 -
ill keep you guys update as soon as i have new info
i dont think it will be that hard its just diffrent
adding drivers for example will be much easier then before
and because it is suposed to be hardware independed(image can boot to any serial ata for example,with the right drivers)
i think imaging will be more apealing in vista then setup unattened(remeebr you could update your image to include more hotfixes and service packs and drivers(which you cant in xp image)
0 -
ok figured it out
vista beta 1 only knows to take unattened from 2 places
floppy or if run from winpe setup /.... path to unattended file
currently putting the file on dvd doesnt work only from beta 2
and another thing
did you notice it doesnt have i386 folder
thats because it actually drops an image on your computer(install.wim) plus hardware detection:)
pretty cool and suposed to be faster too
