Bump. I'm looking for an answer, too.

October 26, 2004

Based on what I read on another thread, I added the adminpak to my Server 2003 installation:

start /wait \\server\adminpak\adminpak.msi /Qn

But during the installation I keep getting this box (although I blurred out the line that shows my server address) :

I'm not sure, but I think that it is related to Internet security being set to High by default (that message looks familiar to what I've seen when downloading things). Which is a curious coincidence, since I was also going to request a tweak to change that setting to Medium during the unattended installation. Any thoughts?

On a side note -- is there any real danger in dropping Internet security to Medium? High seems like overkill....

October 25, 2004

Early next year I will be replacing about a half-dozen servers, and the new ones will have Server 2003. I'm OK with making an unattended installation, and with doing visual tweaks and such.

But I want to make sure that I set everything correctly for the sake of security and performance. So can someone maybe link me to a page that spells out recommended settings for Server 2003? You know, turning on/off certain services, that sort of thing. And since I know that it all depends on what the server will be doing:

- Five will be straight file/print servers.

- One will be file/print, plus a secondary WINS server.

- One will be a primary WINS server, plus an application server, running a few things like McAfee ePO and Shavlik's HFNETCHK Pro. Thus it will also be running IIS and SQL.

- No domain controllers, no DHCP, no DNS.

I guess this includes unattend.txt, plus post-installation settings. Thanks for any input!

EDIT -- After posting this, I found the "Windows NT4/2000/2003" page on the forum. Sorry, I guess I posted this thread in the wrong place.

October 12, 2004

I guess I spoke too soon....

October 12, 2004

Nothing came out today? Shocking!

Well, I hope there's nothing new, since I need a breather.

October 12, 2004

Holy crap, that works perfectly! That's exactly what I needed. Thanks for the help everyone, especially Bi0haZarD.

October 9, 2004

I have a batch file that runs upon first logon for every new user. It applies some visual reg tweaks, and the user needs to login again for it to take effect. Is there some way to make a message box pop up informing the user to logout and log back in? i'm not sure how to create that. Does it have to invlove the messenger service, or can it be done a different way?

I want a simple message window that says something, then has an "OK" button.

October 7, 2004

Any thoughts?

October 4, 2004

It's probably been written about already, but I can't find it. Of all the default folders created by an unattended install creation, which of these folders can I safely delete from my XP setup?

ASMS

COMPDATA

DRW

LANG

SYSTEM32

WIN9XMIG

WIN9XUPG

WINNTUPG

October 4, 2004

I have set the properties for Contacts so that it sorts by Last Name, First Name. Plus I checked the View settings. Yet when I compose a new e-mail and click on "To" and bring up my Contacts list, everything is displayed as First Name, Last Name.

Am I missing something?

September 23, 2004

I tried iTunes, but it only seems to export your library as XML, and it can't be opened by itself as a standalone document (if I open it in IE, I see all the tags and everything).

Anything else I should try? Like I said, I want to be able to export to a standalone file that can be opened independent of the parent program.

September 21, 2004

I used to use this one:

MP3 Manager

But it doesn't seem to work right in XP, so I'm looking for another one. I prefer something simple and free. It doesn't need to be a media player or anything like that -- just something that will import all of your mp3 files (from CD or wherever), let you sort them, and export to a file (HTML, Text, etc).

Any ideas?

September 18, 2004

I agree, all of the comments are really important. Is it possible to keep this thread going, and simply "clean it up"? When all of the unnecessary posts are deleted, it would probably be cut by a third, if not more. Obviously all of these new posts, like mine right here, would be included.

September 18, 2004

I'm usually running more than one install at a time, through a switch. But is there any possible reason wy that would matter? Obviously, each one has its own IP address and hostname.

But if I understand the whole process correctly, once the initial copying of files is done at the beginning, everything is being done locally on the workstation, right up until post.bat launches and the programs start installing from the server. But like I said, it's not that the program installation is having a problem -- post.bat sometimes doesn't even launch at all.

So is there any reason why my network setup, with multiple installations, could be causing this weirdness?

September 17, 2004

I don't think that's it, because post.bat is in the $1 folder. So

[GuiRunOnce]
   %systemdrive%\post.bat

should always work, right?

FYI -- I just tried an experiment and removed lgfonts.bat from my tweaks file, and post.bat still didn't launch. So I don't think there is a conflict.

September 17, 2004

Maybe the two are conflicting, I'm not sure. But the reason I did this:

;-----Set up large fonts for all users upon first logon-----
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"lgfonts"="c:\\WINNT\\lgfonts.bat"

was so that lgfonts.bat runs upon fist logon for every user (it only takes about a half of a second to run). It was the only way I could get that tweak to work for all users, and I really needed that to work.

You want more weirdness? It never used to cause a conflict. I had that in there during months of testing, and post.bat always ran. Now it's hit-and-miss.

Oh well. If I can't figure it out, it's not a huge loss -- I can just manually launch post.bat. It could be a pain since I'm scripting over 100 workstations, but I can live with it if I have to.

Thanks for your input, though, XtremeMaC.

September 17, 2004

Well, here are all of the relevant files, I think. The really large one I put as an attachment. For now I'm ignoring post.bat, because it doesn't even launch, so there can't be a problem in that file.

There is one part of tweaks.reg that might seem odd:

;-----Set up large fonts for all users upon first logon-----
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"lgfonts"="c:\\WINNT\\lgfonts.bat"

I do that because the high resolution needs large fonts, and I want it to be automatic for every new user (and those reg tweaks don't work from tweaks.reg). So in the $$ folder I have lgfonts.bat:

@echo off

regedit /s C:\WINNT\lgfonts.reg

:end

and that calls lgfonts.reg

But I doubt that that is the problem. If anyone can find something out of place, please let me know.

tweaks.reg

September 16, 2004

I dunno but 1 thing I know is u could have just said it stays on the desktop or something, u didn't really have to post the desktop screenshot right?

I know, but I thought it would make for a good visual aid, to show that no programs are being installed. I resized it, though, to make it less intrusive.

I can post my other stuff later when I get the chance. But it's so weird that it should be random like that -- sometimes it works right, sometimes it autologsin but doesn't run my post.bat, and sometimes it never autologsin at all.

September 16, 2004

I have a lot of reg tweaks, but none that include any names or passwords.

And now it's getting really weird -- a few times I've had it autologon, but the post.bat doesn't run. It just sits like this:

What the heck?

September 16, 2004

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Before posting a whole bunch of code, let me just show the GuiUnattended section from my unattend.txt:

[GuiUnattended]
    AdminPassword="********"
    EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
    AutoLogon=Yes
    AutoLogonCount=1
    OEMSkipRegional=1
    TimeZone=35
    OemSkipWelcome=1

What's happening is that it finishes the XP installation, then stops at the "CTRL-ALT-DEL" login screen, instead of autologging in as the administrator and running my post batch file:

[GuiRunOnce]
    %systemdrive%\post.bat

I can login, then go to the C: drive and manually start post.bat, but that kind of defeats the purpose of unattended.

I'll post the rest of the file if it's necessary, or my tweaks file if there is a conflict somewhere. But before going into all of that, has anyone ever experienced this before?

The worst part is that it doesn't happen every time -- it's totally hit-and-miss. And during a few months of testing it never happened. But now it's sometimes working and sometimes not.

FWIW -- this is a network/domain installation, not a CD.

September 15, 2004

Just when I thought I was done, yesterday two new updates were released for Office XP (they might also be for Office 2003, I'm not sure).

KB873379

KB832332

Has anyone tried these yet? Do they cause any problems, or can I just add them and I'll never even notice a difference?

Can I just slipstream them into my current package, or do I have to start all over again with a fresh installation point? I know the latter is true for a service pack, but is it not necessary for a simple patch?

Edit -- how do we know for sure which MSI needs to receive the slipstreamed patch? PROPLUS or OWC10?

September 15, 2004

Since IE6 is already a part of XP, I reccommend not using IEAK. I did that, and it ended up causing me some weirdness (like strange entries in Add/Remove Programs).

I now do all my customizations for IE6 via reg edits. Here are all of the ones that I use:

I use a few tweaks to customize the look of Internet Explorer, so instead of the default small buttons it has large buttons, with text descriptions. Plus, some of the stupid buttons are gone (like "Discuss") :

This is the code that I use:

I did a little experimenting, and it seems like those keys are all you need, no matter how you customize the buttons. The values will change, but that's it.

It's a pretty simple question -- I just got a DVD burner that does both DVD-R and DVD+R (and also RWs, of course). But which format is better for what purpose? As of right now, I only plan to use this for data DVDs to be read by other computers with DVD-ROM drives. In that case, am I better off doing "+" or "-", to ensure compatibility?

And just in case, which of the two is better for making DVD movies to be played in a standard DVD player?

Hmmm, with version 1.04, the Start menu shortcuts are now created under "All Users", not just the user that installed it. Me like!
