I'd go wth hj_fr, use DHCP. Get the PC MAC address add it to DHCP reservations with your desired ip, and bingo all done

midiboy, to get your newer nics working you need to place the .inf and corresponding .sys file into the i386 directory of your image. stop and start the service Boot Information Negotiation Layer service. this should create a corresponding .PNF file, if not first time, wait 30secs and repeat. (It does work just takes a few goes) Once the .PNF is their, your good to use PXE and all should be ok.

Hi all, Are you guys using the Pro version or the free version? I ask as the free one insists on downloading itunes, for which i have no use and never will have a use for. I went to http://www.apple.com/uk/quicktime/win.html followed the download link http://www.apple.com/uk/quicktime/download/win.html removed all the ticks, clicked download and it starts to download itunessetup.exe at 32mb. How can i get quicktime without the free unwanted addition?

I use the oldest method of, in the $OEM$ folder have a runoncex.cmd file with my list of apps to install, set the path line to be somewhere on the server, (for ease under the reminst share that already exists), and then use cmdlines.txt to call runoncex.cmd and bingo. You'll get better results to your query by looking under MSFN Forums > Unattended Windows Discussion & Support > Unattended Windows > Unattended RIS Installation which is found here; http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=127 where your question is answered also. Enjoy

seems to me you may have accidently removed when using nlite. I don't use it, though a log file may be able to confirm that, or at least doing another build will answer it

I have a netgear FA310TX and run WinXPSP2 with no issues. It uses the standard MS driver when installed, and as the fa312 is slightly newer i would say it should work and potentially something else is causing a conflict or the like. have you looked at http://www.netgear.com ? and do they have any officila drivers? i knw they don't for 310

quick glance, says check that service Themes is started. It has no dependencies so no need to worry about those.

That is a useful tip Fox Mulder, well done. [edit] Just done this process and worked a charm download file run <filename> /x c:\temp\<foldername> go to this new folder open the %exename% file in winrar extract that file Thanks all for help in this [/edit]

I have this on my cd at home and found it from within the Registry Tweaks guides, which i think is on Part3 within the stickies. Then again, could be located within Part1, Part2 or the .NET one.

have to say HP. situation i had involved a dodgy cd-r years ago that just stopped writing. They asked questions based on script, could tell by way he spoke, and wasn't sure what to do if you manage to deviate them from it. Got it changed after some more fruitless calls to more robots.

Wondering if anyone can help, Have followed this through and at moment am doing this as a test on the PC that i am sat at. I am using the code below [code]cmd /k e:\xpsp2\i386\devcon update e:\xpsp2_apps\apps\monitor\mitsubis.inf "Monitor\MEL6140"[/code] I'm using the cmd /k, so that when it processes the results stay on-screen. I believe all is correct and i keep getting the response [code]devcon failed[/code] as i'm basing this one instructions laid out above. Now, my monitor is currently at Pug and Play and driver signing is set to ignore. Any ideas as to tell what is the issue? [edit] removed; devcon does work on 2k looking at ms site. any thoughts? [/edit

sorry chilifrei64, wasn't critising you, only the answers that MS provided as i thought they were ambigous, apologies if you took offence.

I believe this has been answered and used a vbscript to do what your after along with a version number and other details. Can't remember who wrote it mind. [edit] try this Create oeminfo.ini containing date of installation it might be what your after.[/edit]

is that really true kazuza as most people have realised they need to use BartPE or WinPE to accomplish this behaviour. [edit] and have just looked through both re.chm and deploy.chm and foud no ref to [disk.config]. Can you add some more light to this. [/edit]

i hjad major issues as well, in factit wouldn't let me log back in. Went into safe mode removed dn thankfully all was ok after that, though it still insists on being installed via WindowsUpdate, yet all the updates this is supposed to apply have been installed anyway, a very badly written rollup.

That is such a bad question and response session from the url provided at M$. If you look at the answers you can run the server side on 2k SP4, notice no distinction between server of pro, and same for the client side you only need 2ksp3, though this link WSUS System Requirements does give a better answer. So i would guess 2k Pro would work but as you really need to hook it to a SQL Database for best use, i'd say Server=2k Server SP4 and client is 2kSP3.

i did stacks of research on this and there are loads of docs available on MS website. It isn't easy compared with Office2k and upwards but is possible. When i get back to work late next week, i'll see if i've still got he links i found and will publish for you.

only update; i have asked speedbit, writers of dap for assistance. The response, "There is no way to have DAP automatically activate itself, you have to activate it manually." So that answers that then.

i use the below in my regtweaks.reg file held in the $OEM$ folder and it works a treat for all users ; Set Location for Temp files [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment] "TEMP"="c:\\Temp" "TMP"="c:\\Temp"

ok, thanks nanaki i run cdswitch of the cd1 as the last application on cd1 from wthin WPI. The command i use is; %CDROM%\Apps\Misc\cdswitch.exe xpsp2_apps d: /r:wpi.cmd /k:C:\CDswitch.txt /rw which does work as it does eject and ask fo a cd labelled xpsp2_apps to be inserted. I do as it requests, and the standard splash screen vanishes. Then about 15-20secs later windows will continue to boot as normal, and if i open WIndowsExplorer i see the label against d: is the one from cd1. If i refresh it shows the label from cd2, and by double-clicking this it will autorun and start wpi.cmd which inturn runs wpi.hta. Looking at the log file it recognizes all the parameters provided and recognizes the cd-rom as drive d:, which is correct and shows no errors at all. So i believe it is doing as needed but my pc isn't refreshing the drive label quick enough. If you need more just shout.

i would open a command prompt and tpe shutdown and then press return. What result do you get? You should get the parameters it uses. If not do you have a copy of shutdown.exe on your pc? if not expand from your cd to system32 and should be ok. Then i would test a really basic one like shutdown.exe -t 30 Does that work? yes, add each arguement in turn and test as i would expect an arguement to be failing.

Also, something else to check , do you have a copy of shutdown.exe on your pc? and is it referenced to from your set path variable? if not you'll need to put full pathname in front of shutdown.exe

i agree with jbm, will be a no. Direct from MS website on it Just have a read here and it will answer your question => http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/6...sel_x64faq.mspx Q. What computers can run Windows XP Professional X64 Edition? A. Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is designed to work with 64-bit processors from AMD and Intel that support the x64 extensions to the x86 architecture. These include the Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Mobile Athlon 64, Turion 64, and Opteron processors from AMD, and the Xeon with EM64T and Pentium 4 with EM64T from Intel.

Is this an update? full release? as on the update site at www.adobe.com, there is nothing listed. [edit]Is an update then. Cheers for heads up[/edit]

when logged in as a normal user, if you press shift and then right-click on your file you should see RunAs as an option to select, you can then enter you admin u/n & p.w which it will then use.
