anyone know how i can get eastern standard time working on my image?? everytime i install it it takes kabul (+4:30) time I am at Eastern Standard Time (-5:00) and my winnt.sif file looks like this ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey= FullName="Generic" OrgName="Generic" ComputerName=Test [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=800 YResolution=600 Vrefresh=60 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=107 AreaCode=514 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

Ok so I tried Geej's method. His silent installer works fine but now the dotnet does not install. what I tried to do now (it is currently in progress of installing) is I created a sourcess folder with his file in the hfguirunonce folder. From that Folder I will take the .cmd and .inf file it creates and his .exe and put them in my old source folder (that has dotnet installing properly) and see if it installs properly. I don't know why but as soon as I try to make any kind of modification to the image that has dotnet installing on it it stops installing and i REALLY don't know what it is doing. Where are the files that tell me when dotnet is getting installed and what is getting installed after this? What scares me is that if I do get this to work now trying to use my old Source folder with his files I will keep this image but when the next set of updates gets released and I try to slipstream them into my image my dotnets wont install anymore. OK EDIT I used the files that Geej put up and I put them in the Source folder that I know has dotnet working and it worked Everything Slipstreamed fine nothing went wrong. My question is why is it as soon as i try to modify this image dotnet stops working... It's as if as soon as I use HFSlip to make any kind of modification dotnet decides that it does not want to work anymore.

will try

Ok so I went through a few images that I had already previously created. I finally found an image that has all the dot nets installed. I have decided to use this image as my source image. My ONLY problem in this image is Windows Search 4.0 gets installed at HFGUIRUNONCE and it does not install silently I will only install if I press I Agree. When I look inside my image in the I386 folder I have this HFSLPGUI.COM @ECHO OFF CD %SYSTEMROOT%\HFSLIP SET SSIP=Y %SYSTEMROOT%\REGEDIT /S/E SSIP1.TXT "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup" TYPE SSIP1.TXT>SSIP2.TXT FOR /F %%I IN ('FINDSTR/IR "SystemSetupInProgress.=dword:00000000" SSIP2.TXT') DO SET SSIP=N IF "%SSIP%"=="Y" ( rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %SYSTEMROOT%\HFSLIP\HFSLPGUI.INF,HFSLIPGUI_Run EXIT ) START/WAIT WindowsSearch-KB940157-XP-x86-enu.exe rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %WINDIR%\HFSLIP\HFSLPGUI.INF,HFSLIPGUI_Rem EXIT Now if I understand this correctly this is calling up windowssearch-kb940157 (which is windows search 4.0) also I can see that it is calling this HFSLPGUI.INF which has this in it [Version] Signature="$WINDOWS NT$" [HFSLIPGUI_Rem] AddReg=AddReg.Rem [HFSLIPGUI_Run] AddReg=AddReg.Run [AddReg.Rem] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce",HFSLIPGUI,0x20000,"CMD /C RD/Q/S %WINDIR%\HFSLIP" [AddReg.Run] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce",HFSLIPGUI,0x20000,"CMD /C START/WAIT %SYSTEMROOT%\HFSLIP\HFSLPGUI.CMD" As my scripting knowledge is not that sharp I tried to just delete .cmd file and the .inf file after doing that I get an error during my installation saying that it cannot find those 2 files after that i decided that I could keep the files there but just delete the part in the cmd where it calls for the KB to be started START/WAIT WindowsSearch-KB940157-XP-x86-enu.exe rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %WINDIR%\HFSLIP\HFSLPGUI.INF,HFSLIPGUI_Rem EXIT that also does not work I get an error during the install. My question is this How do I A)stop this particular installation (because it is an image where I have the dot nets installed and everything works fine except for the windows search) from not having Windows Search 4.0 start at HFGUIRUNONCE so I don't have to press I Agree to continue the installation and B)have the Windows Search 4.0 install silently on this particular installation? If I can get this to work my installation will be exactly how I want it to be. It would REALLY be apprecieated if someone can help me fix this problem. Thanks Anthony

What package did you use to install the DOTNET with HFGUIRUNONCE? Also how did you get the Windows Search 4.0 to silently install with HfSLIP? I really like HfSlip but I cannot get dotnet to install on it nor can i get windows search 4.0 to silently install on it. Perhaps you can just tell me how you go about getting those 2 things done because I do most of my installation with HfSlip the only thing I don't do (which I do with NLITE) is add my answer file and add the Windows Search 4.0 to the installation so it installs silently. BTW Yes I have dotnets installed on my machine you are not being mean in your post I can understand how stupid I sound because I've asked this question 100 times and I've done the installation 100 times and I cant get it to work. (I only used RyanVM to try and get the dotnet to work but it failed.) So just so I can maybe ask you again what did you do exactly to get dotnet to install properly on your unattended cd and how did you get the Windows Search 4.0 to install completely silent? The RogueSpear Pack is not completely up to date with all the relavant updates. Unless I misread it the last updates were from August 2008 The Priority updates are there but the Software ones arent

Guys this is driving me crazy I think I have tried over 100 combinations and I cannot for the life of me get this to work I will tell you what I want to do. Basically I want to have a Windows XP cd that installs EVERYTHING silently including the dotnets Currently I can get everything BUT the dotnets to install Right now I use HfSlip to install all the Hotfixes (except the dotnet) and after that I use Nlite to silently install the Windows Search 4.0 Now I read the guide on how to install dotnet I used the smn.cmd method I cannot get it to work because after I get the package down to 50mb with HFSlip I have no idea where to put this file. Can someone PLEASE tell me where I can put this file either in NLite or HfSlip so I can get it to install? Also does it matter that I created 1 big file with all 3 dotnets in it?? I tried RYANVM Integrator I tried to integrate it with that and then use HfSlip to put the rest of my hotfixes in and I still cannot get it to work I dont know why. Can someone please tell me what the best way to get a simple windows XP Unattended CD with everything installed is please I dont care how big it is or which program I have to use I just want it to work. ; SNM.CMD default configuration settings.

Decompress the file filever.exe from Support Tools packet of the Windows 2000/XP/2003 operating system CDROM (in XP CD under X:\SUPPORT\TOOLS\SUPPORT.CAB), in your work folder.

what programs are you guys using to make this installer run during the installation and where are you putting the exe file to make it work.. also what does 3. Decompress the file filever.exe from Support Tools packet of the Windows 2000/XP/2003 operating system CDROM (in XP CD under X:\SUPPORT\TOOLS\SUPPORT.CAB), in your work folder. You can find it too here that mean what is the work folder?

Hey people sorry for the super amounts of threads Ok after making countless ISO's I finally got everything the way I want it all the dotnets install silently the windows search 4.0 installs silently. My next question is can Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 be put in the HF folder?? I'd like to integrate IE8 and take out IE7 is it doable or does HfSlip 1.7.8 not allow it?

im actually using hfslip does it work with that? i read in a post that i have to put it in svcpack_sw1 i just use Nlite to create my ISO so I can test it later I downloaded the Nlite version there is not a readme though its just a 7zip what exactly do i do with this heh sorry im n00bish

Hey the only way I can get this to install is by putting it in my HFGUIRUNONCE folder and during my installation it asks me to press "I agree" any way to have it just install silently? thanks! btw if there are any links to a previous thread that addresses this issue and I missed it can someone post it? Or maybe just let me know if there's a way around this?

yup its winnt.sif i dont know why it always asks me for a computer name i have no idea its VERY annoying also I would really like to know if theres a way around Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XP (KB940157) <--- to make it install silently (because if I put it in the HF folder it does not install and if I put it in the HFGUIRUNONCE it asks me to press agree)

All done dotnet installed perfectly! Now I need to know if I can get around Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XP (KB940157) to make this install silently..I can't get it to install silently. I have it in HFGUIRUNONCE because if I put it in HF it does not install is there a little reg patch that I can put in SVCPACK and just put the Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XP (KB940157) in the HF and it will install? After that the only thing that my Installation is doing is still asking me to answer questions like the computer name and to register windows and stuff and I really have no idea why...I put the winnt.sif with all the correctly answered questions in the SOURCE folder and then created my SOURCESS folder but it does not work did I have to put the winnt.sif in the SOURCESS folder??

thank u

where do i put the winnt.sif file in hfslip? from what i know about that file it's from the deploy.cab in WINXP I also thought of the winnt.sif but im not 100% sure where to put it in HfSlip thanks!

Hello Boys. Ok so I tried this new version and dotnet still does not install. Here is what I did I followed instructions 1 to 4 from the first post. I downloaded the dotnet 3.5 version that was put in Stoner81's post. In my folder SNM I have dotnet 1.1//2.0//3.0//3.5 <--From Stoner81 post the 232 mb version. I have the NDP1.1sp1-KB947742-X86.exe <--I am not using Win2k I don't know if that would make a difference. I run the modified batch file and it creates a 53mb file I put the file in the HFGUIRUNONCE folder and create my ISO. Once my ISO is created I install Windows on a VM After the installation is complete I go to Windows Update and the only 2 updates that I have to do are dotnet 1.1 and dotnet 2.0 Perhaps I did something wrong?

Any way to install these silently? I'll elaborate a little I can get them to install with the HFGUIRUNONCE but that requires me to press buttons.. I'd like to know if theres a way to do this completely silent?

Hey guys I am new to using HFSlip and I am trying to figure some stuff out can someone help me with the few questions I have. Right now I was able to successfully slipstream SP3 into my cd as well as most of the updates. When I go to Windows Update after I am done my installation I have few updates that I can't install for some reason. (I'll get to these in a minute) My main concern right now is the dotnet 1.1///2.0sp1//3.0//and 3.5 I put the exe files of the dotnet's in the hfguirunonce folder. During my installation it launches the setups for the dotnet's but it always fails it gives me an error on every dotnet. There is no specific error it gives me it just fails. My objective was not to push any buttons during the install I just want everything to be installed after I'm done my install. That is one problem I have I'd like to have my dotnet's to be installed during my installation. My second problem is I'm not 100% sure why during my installation it does not ask me to answer any questions except for the name of the computer and it I want to register my windows. I was using Nlite before and I would answer the questions. I'm sure HfSlip has it's own answer file but I don't know how to use it I downloaded the hfanswers but I'm not really sure how to use it can someone explain it a little to me? Finally my third problem is there are 2 hotfixes and an update that cannot install during my installation which I don't understand how to slipstream Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XP (KB940157) and Cummulative Security Update for Active Killbits for Windows XP (KB956391) and Update Root Certificates that has no Hotfix KB number attached to it. Can someone PLEASE help me thanks Anthony

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this done it would really be helpful thanks Anthony.

Hello guys I have a question I'm going to ask to be spoonfed this time but at the same time i would like to know if someone can also point me to the right direction on how to learn how to write these scripts myself. In excel 2003 if you go to tools///options///general there is the username at the bottom. I would like to know if someone can give me a script that when the user goes into excel the username that is there automatically changes to his own. This is going to be helpful to me because it will make me know who is in a file when I want to go into it and make modifications. Thanks a bunch! Anthony

okie dokie i will try to do that its a pretty long process to do it i have to redirect all her traffic to another computer so i can see what she is doing and what is happening when she sends the request to go into the mailbox. ill try to do it this afternoon if not i will do it monday! ill keep you guys posted because yes it does not make sense heh and i would like to understand a little more why such an error is occuring ty!

my question is..if the error is valid why would user1 be able to connect to any other users shared calender and not user2 calender in particular? that is what is throwing me off a little bit about this situation. why would the host only be down connecting to this particular persons calender and not anyone elses?

Thanks for the quick response however I'm not really sure why the destination host would be down.. The emails are all working fine User1 just cannot connect to User2 calender. The error from USER1's pc is telling me that she cannot connect to user2 because his mailbox is not present in the exchange server. They are both on the same exchange server and it is only her that connect connect to him. Any other ideas what it can be???

Hello I am having a problem with a user (user 1) trying to access another user (user 2) calender. The user (user 1) can access other people's calenders however she cannot access his. user 2 can connect too other random user's calenders These 2 users can connect to anyone else's shared calender in the company however they cannot connect to each other. The error message I get it OfficeErrorMessage ID 10064 The user is trying to access a mailbox that is not part of an exchange server. We are using Active Directory and Server 2003 R2 with Office 2003 SP3
