I still have found nothing, and gotten no info from posts on a few other forums... looks like this is not happening to many people... yeah! I'm special I about to try on a completely different server to see if it still occurs... I mean a different MDT server, and a different target server. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. thanks.

in case someone else needs this, I don't think unattend.xml can do this but here is the registry info needed to do... Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\ Key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer Value: fSingleSessionPerUser Data: 0x1 I got this info from a helpfull member of www.deploymentforum.com hope it helps someone else

Hello, using MDT to do unattended install... my build and capture task sequence runs fine, which performs an unattended install using answer file, then runs sysprep and captures a wim image. The problem is that when its done, the reference machine (and any machine you deploy this wim image to) is left with the "ramdisk device options" boot entry in the BCD... and its the default so this breaks everything when trying to deploy this wim image with MDT. using bcdedit to remove the entry works but I need to fix the real problem... mdt should be removing this. The wim image created by mdt is 'broken' in this state because you can't automate the deployment of it when it doesn't automatically boot into the appropriate OS. this is killing me . The only thing I found googling is a different issue related to using non-english versions of the OS, which I'm not using. someone? anyone?

Hello, I'm wondering if the following settings can be taken care of via unattend.xml. I've looked through the options in WIM and the WAIK documentation but didn't find anything.. I'm assuming you can't, but wanted to double check here in case I just missed it. 1. folder settings such as: 'show hidden files' and 'show full file extension' etc... the stuff under Tools -> folder options -> view tab within the GUI. Also, if you can't set via unattend.xml, anyone know the specific registry locations of these so I can script the change? 2. This is for server 2008 but I know vista and 2k8 share the same setup process and its likely those in this forum may know this also. For terminal services, can I set the 'restrict user to one session' option via unattend.xml? and same as first quesiton, if not, if you know the registry settings so I can script this change, that would be greatly appreciated as well. any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I'm working on a deployment project that I have done a lot of scripting for. Its a deployment system using MDT and WDS. A lot of this takes place in WinPE (2.0 I believe). The MDT tools create the PE image, which includes support for WSH, WMI, and ADO. Now I have a need to send an email from my script which if I were not in WinPE I would use CDO for. However CDO is not available in winPE. My alternative idea is to script a telnet.exe session directly with the SMTP server using vbscript's shell.exec functionality, but telnet.exe is not in the WinPE image either... I tried simply adding the telnet.exe file to the winpe image but it doesn't run... no error, just doesn't run. So thus far since MDT has done all the heavy win pe lifting for me I have not had a need to really dig into how to customize it... now I need to know. how do add applications to the winPE image? I would love to add CDO support (available as an MSI download) but I'm assuming it will be easier to get the simple telnet.exe command line tool working? any help would be greatly appreciated. Its late in this project for me to have to start digging into the guts of winPE... I will, but time is not on my side so if I can just get telnet working quickly that would be great. I would continue digging into pe then so I can keep optimizing as time goes on.
