Hi KMan, how you can see, my english is stupid too and in this case I understand what mean. I have configured Textpad like in your Topic. Now it works! big Thanxfor your great help! do you have a ready syntax file? Could you post it? Please Have a nice day, Sie Tjin Kian

Hi Wraith, Have you seen on the AutoIt Site, that there is allready a ready DLL for this? I read this at your documentation and in the forum, but when I try to save in unicode, the xml won't work! I dunno why! What Programming is XPLode, is it C-Code? Have a nice day, Sie Tjin Kian

Hi Rushi, if you want to backup network drives, you have first to map the network drive, then it is no problem. try this: net use X: \\Servername\SharedFolder /Persistent:No /User:"Yousername with access rights" X: - is the Drive Letter for the mapped network drive Persistent:No - at next boot it will not remapped You need an acount who has access rights to the shared folder! If the shared folder is mapped, you can open and use the backup wizard without problems,. Greez Sie Tjin Kian

Hi hedsonic, something must be wrong in your script. Try to use a simple Batch-Script, so you can see what happend. If the script works on your client, copy it to the sysvol scripts in your domain folder, restart a client and check it out! If it won't does his job, post the failures and Dialogs you get during login? I will come back tomorrow for see what happend! Have success and a nice day, Sie Tjin Kian

Hi Ken, please be more specific. If you want to know, which software you can use for create an cd autorun menu: under windows - Autoplay Media Studio from www.indigorose.com under boot - chdshell from http://www.cs.uic.edu/%7Emter/cdshell/index.html If you want to create a cd boot menu, read the unattended and bootable cdrom discussions at msfn. Everything is explained fine! Greez from Germany to Taiwan

Hi Wraith, thank you for these chance!!! Here is what I would preffer. GUI Options, like Weight and Height of used Images, a CHM Help with explain to progress bar. (Doesn't work under Version 1.0.5) A Network Configurator, maybe with the Windows Built In Command "Netsh". If you can use 3rd party DLLS, please built in AutoIt V2, it would be great to use AutoIt inside from XPLode. Finally, your XPLode is great. I love it. P.S.: I have problems with the XML File Format, I can use only Notepad for editing. When I use an Editor like Textpad, I can't save in the correct format, every time my XML-File is broken. What Do I wrong? Have a nice time, Sie Tjin Kian

Hi hedsonic, where have you put in your script? It have to be here: %windir%\SYSVOL\sysvol\"Your Domain Name"\scripts Normally, a script like this works fine, for accessing local mapped network drives net use H: \\Server\"Share Name" /User:%Username% /Persistent:Yes|No You can also install printers with this way: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\Server\"Shared Printer Name" When you use group policies, i hope you do it for the domain! If you do it on a local workstation it will be overwritten by the domain. Hope that helps, have a nice day, Sie Tjin Kian

Hi m8e, use TweakUI - look for a feature called "smooth scrolling" and activate it - thats all. Or use regedit under HKEY_USERS\"Your User Profile"\Control Panel\Desktop\ her you will find/create a REG_Binary with the name "SmoothScroll" and a value of 01 00 00 00 for active smooth scrolling or 00 00 00 00 for inactive. Have a nice day..

Hi Alanoll, the scripting engine in APMS is very easy to learn. APMS is great for making nice Autoplay Menus for Windows CDs. I use APM since Version 3.0 and I think Version 5 is more easy then before. Greez to all

Hi there, you also you the ntfs protection manager from Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a. Extract the package with the /X switch. Put WINFILE.EXE in your %windir%. So, you have access to the filesystem without a boot into safe mode You can download NT 4.0 SP 6a here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/win.../DE/sp6i386.exe There is also a commandline utility with the name "cacls.exe". Greez, Sie Tjin Kian

Hi Hajj_3, append to your existing Batchfile: RD /S /Q "%Allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programms\Nero" or use other system variables like %Userprofile% for access to your quick launch. Hope that helps. Greez to you

Hi lalilus, I am not sure, but I think I saw something like that a few months before. Try to make an Installation from HD, you will find to 2 folders that would be used when u would reboot and go into the setup. The folders are called $Win_NT$.~LS and $Win_NT$.~BT. Search for INF files like migrate or something else. In these files I saw the drive mapping, but duno sure. Greez, Sie Tjin Kian P.S.: post it, if you found

hi hajj_3, when you can`t find the correct switches, try to use AutoIt. AutoIt can send key and mouse strokes for unattended installations, configurations and has a lot features build-in. you can get it here: http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/ Greez Sie Tjin Kian

Hi Talon, if you don`t want the install files on your HD, then you have to put everything into another folder (not $OEM$) and try to use %sourcepath%. I am not sure that this work. Anyway somewhere in the forum is a method to find your cdrom by using an Textfile as indicator that is on cd. Maybe thats the way you prefer. Have a nice day

Hi preparers , i still love cdrecord and mkisofs. ok that are both commandline progis and in this case harder to use. But with the correct ASPI drivers you can build and burn in a few steps. Everytime when I use Nero, it nerves me that the gui needs some second to wake up. cdrecord and mkisofs still have any feature you need for burining cds and creating isos. Greez to all

Hi Climbing, 1) the file hivesft.inf is in the i386 folder 2) normally your right with this key, but if you have allready installed some software there may be more keys in ohter sections, so just try to search for your profilesdir root in the registry and you will see what i mean! Have a nice day

Tja Benny, das tut mir ja jetzt leid! Ich befürchte das funktioniert nicht, daher habe ich bei mir auch die Floppy Methode verwendet. In den meisten Fällen sollte die ausreichen, da man auch Images mit 2,88 MB erzeugen kann, z.B. für PQDI - das ist nämlich normalerweise auf 2 disketten. Gruß Sie Tjin Kian

Hi Koden, i am not sure, that i understand your question. Everytime you want to do an integrated Office Update use the following. 1. Create an Administrative Installation Point with your original cds 2. Slipstream the updates to the administrative installation point 3. burn the files in your administrative installation point to cd For get information, which Switches and Paramters you have to use, use the help at commandline, maybe: Office2Ksp3.exe /? Greez Sie Tjin Kian

Hi Benny, sorry vollkommen missvverstanden! Wenn Du CDShell verwendest, kannst Du aif verschiedene BuildIn Befehle zugreifen, z.B. diskemu und memdisk, hiermit lassen sich Images (unter anderem im IMA) laden, ich habe das verwendet um meine PQDI6 Fassung einzubinden. Mit Winimage Floppy Abbildung erzeugen und dann per CDShell starten. Hoffe ich habe das jetzt richtig verstanden, müßte bei Partition Magic eigentlich genauso laufen. Gruß Sie Tjin Kian

Hi Benny, gar kein Problem , es gibt massig Software die Images als virtuelles CDROM einbinden, so z.B. Nero Image Drive, Alcohol120%, virtuell cd, daemon tools. Die laufen aber nur unter windows, damit du ein image für z.B. Installationen testen kannst, solltest du PC Emulatoren verwenden, so z.B. virtual PC, vmware. Bei diesen Programmen kann man ein Image als CDROM angeben. Gruß Sie Tjin Kian

Hi Climbing, there a a few ways to change the location for your profiles using a new installation: - use a winnt.sif with the following code in it [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir=%Systemdrive%\Profile - use a predefined value in hivesft.inf for new setups search for "DEFAULT_PROFILES_DIR", you will find something like this DEFAULT_PROFILES_DIR="%SystemDrive%\Profile" when you want to cahnge your existing installation: - copy all files and folders in the specified profile to the new direction, then open regedit and search for "original_profile_path" and replace with "your_new_propfile_path" but be sure you replace every value!!! For new profiles make the same with "default_profiles_dir_path" When you try the last one, it can take a while, cause of a lot entries in your registry hope that helps, greez to all..

Hi JPamplin, you can use a switch in your unattend file called "FileSystem" in Section "Unattended". That would look like this: [unattended] FileSystem=ConvertNTFS Your Partition will be converted to NTFS Filesystem, so you can use all NTFS Features. Have a nice day, Sie Tjin Kian

Hi ectavares, when you want to be able to choose the partition where windows have to be installed or to partition your HD during Windows Setup use AutoPartition=0. In most case I think this is the better way cause you have the Option where Windows will be installed to. Greez Sie Tjin Kian

Hi Chloroform, Twill is giving you the point not to close the session. Ok that would work but some older CDROMs maybe have problems with unclosed Boot-CDs. If you want to use your CD for Rollouts on many PCs the best way is to leaf an ISO Image on HD. So when new Updates are outside, you can modify the Image and reburn your CD. Many Burning Progs like Nero can be installed unattended withing your Windows Setup, so there is no problem to reburn it. Have a nice day..

hi, another way to get space on your custom windows cd is, to delete unused folders in I386, like the languages and other stuff. Look at the wonderfull gosh website for better information. Also you can create cab files with the windows build- in command "makecab", these files can be extracted during unattend setup. Have a nice day.... Sie Tjin Kian
