If you mean upgrading from say XP to Vista then there are certain roads that you must follow. Others proably know the specifics but XP Home can only upgrade to say Vista Home or Premium. Where as XP Pro I believe only goes to Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate. Could be wrong, but I was able to do my upgrade by booting into the upgrade disc. Mostly because everytime I tried it while Windows was already started it screwed something up badly. If you mean upgrading Vista from one version to another if I recall correctly you simply need to put your CD back in or download the OS upgrades after paying MS some cash for the upgrade.

Thanks for the advice on Dependency Walker, downloaded figured it out and stared at the Sys32 folder until i felt loopy. Anyhow for anyone else who encounters an issue these were the files I had to include on my WinPE build for this to work. These need to be in Sys32: apphelp.dll, cdfview.dll, devmgr.dll, efsadu.dll, hlink.dll, hnetcfg.dll, linkinfo.dll, mobsync.dll, mprui.dll, msgina.dll, msi.dll, msoert2.dll, netman.dll, netplwiz.dll, netui0.dll, netui1.dll, netui2.dll, query.dll, shdocvw.dll, shsvcs.dll, uxtheme.dll, wzcdlg.dll, wzcsapi.dll, wzcsvc.dll. And I had to copy these folders into the winsxs folder: x86_Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.2600.2180_x-ww_a84f1ff9 x86_Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.2600.2982_x-ww_ac3f9c03

The defrag tool bundled in that is pretty nice. And the PE Part is nice except it doesn't wanna work when I use it in the WinPE env. Does it rely on something beyond the built in diskpart.exe? I get an AutoIT error when trying to use it in WinPE.

I have a WinPE image that I am pretty happy with but I was hoping to include a GUI version of net use and diskpart in it does anyone know of any or have a preference. Also any other little knick knacks that you find useful would be appreciated.

I feel really stupid thanks for the help on remembering the help function.

So I am able to get the images captured and blown down to computers just fine. But I am hoping to automate parts of it so as to simplify it for the techs who will be doing this kind of thing frequently. So basically I am having issues with is after you use net use to connect to your network share with the images it will prompt you for credentials how do I script that in?

My first real experience with E-Trust, the CA AV, was from 2 years ago when I started at my company. CA released a definition update that deleted the lsas off of all of our servers. Whole day down the drain plus most of a weekend fixing the issue. Did I mention it was Labor Day weekend? Anyhow they never admitted doing wrong but they gave us a bunch of "instore" credit to spend on their other products. Now we're on Sophos which supposedly has UNIX support but by support they mean a guy will answer the phone and talk to you. Not a big fan occasionally Sophos will eat 90+% of the CPU time and the rest of the time its blocking legit programs from functioning because they changed their categories for the umpteenth time. Anyhow I'll stop ranting now, I personally use Kaspersky, and AVG. Starting to look at NOD32 now though.

Alright I have the acctinfo.dll and i have registered it. It works just fine but only if I go to the OU of the person I am looking for and open it. Meaning the additional account info tab only shows up if you manually find it and open it. Has anyone managed to make it so that it will open when you do a find for that person? Sorry if this is a rehash but the only similar topic I saw was for something else and was two years old.
