you can use the /d switch
attrib /d /s +s c:\foldername\*.*
this will make all folders and files under c:\foldername +s
you can follow up with a attrib -s c:\foldername\*.* /s
this will remove s on only the files inside it
dunno if this was helpful at all since you probably dont want to mess with the files

@echo off
regsvr32 /s %SystemRoot%\system32\File.dll
move c:\filename %SystemRoot%\system32
If I understood you correctly

Quick google gave me this:
2. Disable auto restart for automatic updates in Group Policy. Go to Start > Run > type gpedit.msc and click OK. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update. Double click “No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates installation”. Select Enabled and click OK.

Hi
I've noticed that sysprep resets the settings for virtual memory.
Anyone know of a way to run sysprep without resetting this? Takes some time to after each sysprep changing the virtual memory and then reboot.

You can change the key in Windows.
When he asks for product activation, select by phone method and press the "change my product key" button.

You wont be able to install XP in 5 minutes.
What you can do is make one regular installation of Windows XP and then make an image of this installation with Symantec Ghost or something similar.
The next time you need a windows installation on a similar machine (it has to be an "identical" machine, same chipset drivers etc.) you can copy your ghost image and then run the program sysprep. This will reset windows security identifiers and windows license key to in essence make it a fresh install.

Hi
I was wondering, does anybody know of a way to change language settings from command line or some program which does this?
I am currently running either norwegian, swedish or english windows and want to easily change "Standards and formats", "location", "input language" and "language for non-uniciode programs" from a batch file.

Thanks again for all your help.
Ill try to get hold of one of these usb network devices.
Problem is Im located in Norway
You have any experience from the site you linked? http://www.telcominstrument.com/p_302_27_6...n-ethernet.html
Should be safe to order from them perhaps.

Hmm
You know how this trouble manifests?
Just tried to connect a USB hub with a mouse and a USB stick and I had no trouble booting with this. Can I assume this would work with other USB devices then?
Not sure how to set it up on the ethernet side.

Thanks for replies.
Using two USBs could actually work, good idea if theres no dos-compatible PXE usb device.
Can probably hook both up in a 1->2 usb splitter and pretend its one device

I may be messing up the terminology
Thught you needed PXE support to avoid needing a disk or something to boot from a network device.Anyways, you understood me correctly, Ive been looking at that exact usb network adapter and also sent them a mail asking wether they support a dos driver for it.
We're ghosting lots of machines every day and its started getting a bit chaotic setting up dos drivers for all the various network cards and also even loads of the same drivers with different device and bus nr. etc
Would be really great to just insert the usb network adapter and ghost away.
Havent found anything on the net myself so I think maybe your right in that theres no dos drivers for usb network adapters
Thx for your answer though.

Hi
This is perhaps not the right forum for this question but I guess someone here may know about this.
I am looking for a USB network adapter with support for PXE boot which works in MS DOS.
Anyone know about anything like this?

Hi
I have a quick question about the wipedisk command in winbom.ini.
Is it possible to have WinPE ask before wiping the hard drive the same way as you can add reboot = prompt?
0 -
Im running preinstallation from a WindowsPE environment so not sure what switches you can/should use when running winnt32.exe
However you should have a winbom.ini file which have a section for formatting your harddrive. A section of my winbom.ini looks like this:
[Disk1.config]
Wipedisk=yes
Size1=79000
PartitionType1=primary
FileSystem1=ntfs
QuickFormat1=yes
This makes him wipe the disk no questions asked and make 1 partition of 80 gig leaving the rest unpartitioned.

Think I solved the problem now.
I based the unattended install on Windows OPK tools which creates configuration set folders. When I put the $oem$ structure in the config folder instead of the main windows distribution folder it should work.
Thx for replies.

maybe the " . " in the path
Drivers\1. Inf\IMBA9454G
I thought about that but then he should at least have copied the drivers folder over to the local machine, doesnt seem like he does anything at all with the i386/$oem$ folder.
I can put the $oem$ structure one space down so it lies in the same dir as i386 but then I get a $oem$\$1\driver\etc. structure on the root of the local disk. I got the feeling from microsoft support site that he was supposed to recognize the $oem$ folder structure and place it under the system dir.

Hi
Wondered if someone could point me to what Im doing wrong.
I have set up a network distribution share, under the share I have the following folder:
\\prod03\SP2CSHARE\Lang\ENG\sku\pro.sp2\x86\I386\$oem$\$1\Drivers\1. Inf\IMBA9454G
In my unattend file I have included the following two lines:
[unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
OemPnPDriversPath = "Drivers\1. Inf\IMBA9454G"
I got the impression that this would copy the Drivers folder to the local computer under c:\windows\drivers and also search this folder when autoinstalling but nothing happens.
Anyone got any ideas what Im doing wrong?

Hi
Wanted to ask a quick question, posted this a couple of times before but nobody seemed able to help out.
We're building and setting up a lot of different computers/hardware and Im trying to set up an unattended routine for all fresh installs.
What im after is to have a driver folder on a network distribution which cointains all the drivers for all our hardware, then during unattended install windows checks this folder when installing the VGA/Lan/audio drivers etc.
After reading a bit I got the impression that I have to somehow make windows copy this folder temporarily to the computer Im installing windows on but I also want this driver archive removed when hes done installing the drivers needed.
All help would be appreciated.

Hi
I've been looking into unattended windows installation the last couple of weeks and Ive been having a couple of problems which maybe someone here can help me with
Ive set up a network distribution share and made a bootable usb flash disk which connects to the network and installs windows, so far so good, but Ive had some trouble further customizing the install.
What Im after is to copy a temporary driver archive folder under the installation which windows uses to install all the devices for the different computers we build, then delete this folder afterwards.
If anyone knows how to do this Ill be very grateful for some advice.
Ive also had problems copying our test programs and such automatically to the desktop under the unattended installation, anyone knows how to do this?
