You can reset the BIOS to factory defaults usually by pulling the jumper on the motherboard of the PC. Consult your documentation for how-to or contact Intel.

Did you modify the OOBEINFO.INI file? If not, check into the 'Out of Box Experience' functionality.

@amazonjustice mpsmith is right the folder you need to put the apps in is $OEM$\$1\Install As for your Runonceex.cmd your syntax appears to be a little off. Here is a copy of mine for your reference. cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\install\bootini.vbs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Creating useful shortcuts" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\install\shortcuts.vbs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Creating Support User" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\install\emeruser.vbs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Changing CD-ROM drive letter" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\install\chngcdltr.bat" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Applying Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemroot%\install\tweaks.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\022 /VE /D "Installing Ad-Aware" /f REG ADD %KEY%\022 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\winapps\aa\aawsepersonal.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\023 /VE /D "Installing Adobe Reader 6.0.1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\023 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\install\adobe.bat" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Installing Diskeeper Pro v.8" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\winapps\dk8\setup.exe /s /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\026 /VE /D "Installing JustZIPit" /f REG ADD %KEY%\026 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\install\zip.bat" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Installing Power Toys" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "msiexec /i \"%systemdrive%\winapps\ptoys\tweakui.msi\" /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\winapps\ptoys\cmdhere.exe /s /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\winapps\ptoys\powercalc.exe /s /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 4 /D "%systemdrive%\winapps\ptoys\taskswitch.exe /s /v/qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Installing Sun JVM" /f REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMROOT%\Install\jvm.bat" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Installing Support Tools" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "msiexec /i \"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\WINAPPS\suptools.msi\" /qb" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Applying Security Policy" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\install\secedit.bat" /f REG ADD %KEY%\060 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT Note: Ignore the line wrapping where applicable.

@Lucius Snow Thanks for the tip, I have been searching for this info. for a while now. Glad to finally be able to test it. tguy

Make sure your CD is set to boot before your hard drive in the BIOS of your PC. This will stop you for sure if it is not set correctly.

You could create a DOS based boot menu that would allow you select the type of install you wanted to based on your selection. My DOS skills in this area are rusty but I think you would need to edit the autoexec.bat to include a menu. Check http://www.robvanderwoude.com for help on DOS commands.

@kirupa To fix your problem open Easy CD Creator --> Select File --> CD Project Properties --> General tab Change the File System from ISO9660 to Joliet and click OK.

You could create a batch file using the following syntax and execute it from the RUNONCEEX.CMD @echo off setlocal set PATHTOFIXES=.\ ;(sets path to current directory) %PATHTOFIXES%\KB823182.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB823559.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB824105.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB825119.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB826232.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB828035.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB830352.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB837001.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB839643.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB839645.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB840315.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB841872.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB841873.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\KB842526.EXE /Z /M %PATHTOFIXES%\QCHAIN.EXE ECHO "Installation Complete" EXIT

Use the Office 2003 Resource Kit and edit the unattended.mst file to include caching of the source files locally on the PC's hard drive. It will create a folder called MSOCache on the C:\drive that Office 2K3 will use as each new user logs on and opens Office for the first time.

You can add an entry to your Run key in the Registry and apply it during the unattended install using the Runonceex.cmd as noted here, Silent Registry Tweaks The key to add the program executable to is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Another way to do it would be to create a batch file that creates a shortcut, .lnk file, and copies it into the Startup directory for All Users or Default User. Hope this helps.

Add this key to your registry using tweaks.reg: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server] "fDenyTSConnections"=dword:00000000 Add this to your WINNT.SIF file: [TerminalServices] AllowConnections=1 ; Enables Remote Desktop ApplicationServer=0 PermissionsSetting=0

Run the ie6setup.exe file with the following switches /Q /R:N Represents: /Q - quiet /R:N - reboot = no

You could uninstall and reinstall the applications or if they are Installshield apps. you could try a repair.

Try changing this value in the registry to your Segoe UI font: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\MS Shell DLG Switch MS Sans Serif to your font and save changes. As always backup the registry key first to recover if something goes wrong.

Yes it should be possible to combine them. Look into the AIO-DVD method discussed at: http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com Should work for you.

If you are looking to create a single 'Ghost' image, check out the Universal Imaging Utility from Binary Research. Http://www.binaryresearch.com It is used in conjunction with Ghost or other imaging utilities to do what you are looking to do. Right now only supports IDE and SATA drives. SCSI support is coming.

Are the Site Transports configured correctly for Site 3? IE: IP and SMTP Try deleting the default or automatically configured replication methods and recreating your own.

You can visit http://www.bootdisk.com and download the boot disks from there. No sense in reinventing the wheel. Happy New Year!!!

I had this problem too. I had to obtain Office 2000 SR-1 Media from my VAR then recreate the Administrative Installation point. From there I was able to use the slipstream methods to integrate SP3 into my admin. install. point. Slipstreaming SR-1 into a base Office 2000 (no SR's) did not work for whatever reason. Try this, it should work.

Don't forget about the TEXTMODE portion of setup. The txtsetup.sif points to drivers in their normal locations. You may need to hack this file to point to your drivers folder.

Read your first post in this thread. That is pretty offensive. You're right I'm not a moderator, but simply someone who cares for and respects others. Sorry if you don't like it. I'm done.

First try uninstalling your network card, deleting the driver files and then reinstalling them. Then repeat the process for your video card. Sounds like the drivers did not install correctly when you setup the OS.

Try visiting Appdeploy.com. There is lots of good stuff on application packaging and deployment there.

Are you looking at DNS records on a server that is either Active Directory integrated? In this case you need to make sure that the record you want to remove is deleted from all domain controllers DNS zones and then flushed from the cache, OR Are you looking at DNS records on a server that is a secondary server for the DNS zone that holds the record you are trying to delete? In this situation, you need to delete the record from the primary DNS server and flush it from the cache. The changes will then propagate out to the secondary servers. Good luck.
