Not sure your going to get a lot of responses right now. The product is new and people are just getting a handle on it. I started with WAIK's User Guide and following their recommendation, started to automate my first Windows 7 build. Also referenced the Unattended Windows Setup Rerference for Windows 7. I'm not close to where I was in XP but you have to start somewhere... -R-

Has anybody turned off the Vista bitmap and changed the default color scheme background to anything other than black(default)? I was able to locate and rename the BMP and change the background color within the registry to a nice color of blue but the scheme didnt change on restart. Anybody have any ideas? -R-

Select disk 1 clean

Does anybody have a pause utility that can be minimized or run in the background unseen upon execution pause.exe 30 I have tried cmd /c ping 127.0.0.1 -n 40>nul but have no way of minimizing the window (start cmd wont work for me)

Are you syspreping your system? if so for me to get some of mine to stick i need to re apply them 2 sometimes even 3 times and some after the image is cracked from sysprep. R

Perhaps you can add some more information...winnt.sif and other related files. your not giving us much to go on... -R-

Look for a post from me, I had a microsoft solution I defined in the forum some months ago. -R

Sorry havent been following the forum for a while, but it appears you are missing some items when you specify the network config in your winnt.sif Here is what i do to get rid of it... [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1 [params.Adapter1] INFID=* [NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP [params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=Yes UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=No AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1 [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=Yes WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=0 DNSDomain=domain.com [NetOptionalComponents] Beacon=0 R

RunonceEX works for me in 2000

Does anybody have a scripted way to create a shoutcut under My Network Places? I need to drop a standard share into the build but I cant get it to go. -R-

Are you doing a sysprep? I had to setup my system to reapply the setting on first login... I can provide more information if this will work for u. R

You call the program throught the install automatically (not manually) R

your not calling your cmdlines.txt Add this [Unattended] InstallFilesPath=C:\i386 and add a pause to verify it works... Cmdlines.txt "cmd /c pause" "REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg" "install.cmd" R

For me it stops completely and asks for a driver disk. I can click next and it will continue without a disk (the files it needs are already on the drive)

Dell is notorious for doing this, I have had this and other similar problems and to date have been unable to resolve them. The other problem I have had is trying to get the auto-build to install Dell based monitors rather than the Default Monitor. Anybody have any ideas? R

Well, then start out by dividing the file into 6-8 pieces and load 1 piece and check your settings. If everything works then add another and continue the process until you have checked it all. R (No offense, but this may be over your head...you may consider eliminating a lot of what you have in the file and going with what you can verify works) *Thanks prathapml

you seem to have an unusually large reg file. I would suggest you eliminate what you know what works correctly in the file and slowly go through each line (after you build your machine) and verify which lines work and which dont work. I have a large reg file, but I verified each line before they weere added. R

The only thing that jumps out at me is your sysprep.inf calls your cmdlines.txt rather than you winnt.sif [Unattended] InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386 maybe move it to your winnt.sif R

How about Winnt.sif (unattended.txt)

I dont see anything in your runonceex or your clean up cmd. Can you post your sysprep.inf and your unattended.txt and cmdlines.txt? R

Please post your config files so we can analyze...

Checking the driver, it is setup to go Auto by default and QoS is turned off. Anybody else have something to try? R

I was wondering what people are doing with WinPE to open up the network performance? My network connection speed sucks We use DHCP and i believe QoS is throttleing me down. Any sugestions? R

Is this the enterprise version your trying to install? If so, I use the MSI with a /q option... Also i used to have the same opinion, but they have a pretty good product now. R

You need to download the IEAK administration kit from microsoft.
