I am very happy with my nlite image. One thing however I cannot figure out. The computer after imaging does not display startup and shutdown messages ( like "starting up", "applying profile" settings", "shutting down". I deploy software thru group policy and when it is installing, there is nothing on the screen at all. I want it to display the message ("Installing Managed Software _____ ..." so I don't get a billion calls. I have a big deployment coming up and I want to get my nlite image correct. thanks in advance folks. nlite rules! -J
