Hi Guys, i've got a question, i'm interested in testing with smartcard logon stuff, but i can't seem to find online if what i want to do is possible Lets say i have a test domain with 1 domain controller and 1 terminal server . Internal users can logon just with their username and password. But people from the outside who want to logon to the terminal server have to use their smart-card ... I did find methods to implement smart-card usage in a domain, but then that includes the internal workers and i don't want that. Is there a way to only let remote users who try to logon require a smart-card ? (i did find this in Server 2008 , in the TS Gateway app, but i'm looking for a way to do this in Server 2003) Thx in advance for any suggestions...

ok ! i found what the problem was ... in my windows map there was a \panther folder with some config xml's too and it overriden my custom one... i removed the panther folder and voila topic can be closed (if applicable on this forum)

Hi, i know i made a other topic yesterday, but this is a new problem (and i found the solution to my previous problem myself and posted it in that topic) Anyway, i have 1 pc that syspreps perfectly, boots up to the correct user and all... everying in the oobe is automatic. now, i have a another series of laptops, i installed vista on it with the cd included with the laptops, it's a multilangual cd (French / dutch) I made a autoattend file , i use the correct windows install media to create this new xml file, i do everything like with the other working file i have but with this version of vista i doesn't seem to work when i boot after sysprep it asks me in what language i want windows and then asks username, and so on ... so apparantly it ignores the xml file .. :/ Has anyone got an idea ? First i thought i was because the cd was different so i added it in my WSIM so i'm using the correct image... thx for any suggestion

Ok , i'll remove that section and try again... i'll edit this post with my testfindings... *fingers crossed* edit : no, still no luck It's very weird, cause all the other settings do work (like the timezone, and language options) , just the computername doesn't work :/" (it does also gives me the Vista logo and a "Start" button, like when all the settings are done, don't know if that is of any importance) Anyone more suggestions ? thanx in advance edit 2 : Ok i found it ! , and it's a stupid user error (offcourse), when i manually sysprepped i did , %WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /shutdown /unattend:c:\windows\temp\settings.xml if forgot the /generalize kinda weird that all the other settings did work ... Anyway : happy ! cya

Hey all, got a problem with Windows Vista and sysprep. I manually installed a Vista Buisiness on a pc, performed some things tweaks/installers so the pc fits me and my co-workers need. Now, i want to sysprep it with a unattend file so that the oobe is fully automatic, well it almosts works , it just keeps asking one thing , and that's the computername... I tried several things , like setting "computername" to * or leave it blank... it doesn't matter. Even when i set a fixed name like "testname" it still asks me for the computername during the oobe... Here is a paste of my xml file (as you'll see it's very very basic, cause the only thing i really want is a automatic oobe ...)

Hi all, i've got a weird problem question... My unattended install works perfect, during install my cmdlines.txt is called and does everything it is supposed to do. One of the commands is an install of .net framework 3.5 , so that's cool. But afterward i sysprep the system with the "minisetup" option. then i start the system again and for some reason cmdlines.txt runs again.. So it installs .net framework again (and because .net 3.5 takes long to install i don't want it to do that). I don't have the cmdlines.txt in the sysprep folder or not even in \sysprep\$oem$\ ... And before i sysprep i look for cmdlines.txt but i can't find it. So i don't understand where sysprep gets the information to run these commands again ?! I hope this makes any sense and that someone can help me.. So i want to let cmdlines run @ first setup / install , but i don't want those command to run again after sysprepping... Anyone ? Thx !
