You might be able to do something keen with autoit. Like my symantec example sort of fileinstall (".\sav\Symantec Antivirus.msi" , "d:\Tier1\Hotfix\13.01.01\") fileinstall (".\sav\0x0409.ini" , "d:\Tier1\Hotfix\13.01.01\") fileinstall (".\sav\instmsiw.exe" , "d:\Tier1\Hotfix\13.01.01\") fileinstall (".\sav\Setup.exe" , "d:\Tier1\Hotfix\13.01.01\") fileinstall (".\sav\Data1.cab" , "d:\Tier1\Hotfix\13.01.01\") fileinstall (".\sav\LUSETUP.EXE" , "d:\Tier1\Hotfix\13.01.01\") fileinstall (".\sav\Setup.ini" , "d:\Tier1\Hotfix\13.01.01\") fileinstall (".\sav\VDefHub.zip" , "d:\Tier1\Hotfix\13.01.01\") runwait ("msiexec /i d:\Tier1\Hotfix\13.01.01\install_flash_player.msi /qn") exit Except that you would want yours to fileinstall to maybe c:\temp, and then run the .exe (rather than install the .msi in my example).

Runonceex may not be there by default but it works. I think you have to log in as an admin for it to kick off. -- I'll verify that and get back to you, but I am fairly certain thats how my junk operates.

even with bridges set? https://www.torproject.org/bridges

So as best I can guess, you: want to install for a single user X on any computer where X is undefined? want the 'me only' selection from a standard iss build? Can you refine the question at all>

you can put your runonce.cmd lines in the setupcomplete.cmd so you would still be doing REG ADD %REGKEY% (with REGKEY being pointed at runonceex) the cute window is the titles you set, just the same.

https://torproject.org/torbrowse Tor should help if location is the issue.

I would check your bios for "power up on PCI" (or any other bus for that matter) to make sure its not a screwy card. Also make sure reboot on crash is unchecked, in case you are crashing during a shutdown step. <-- though if thats the issue you may want to hunt it down.

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=156091 is the direct download link, seems to be functional.

setupcomplete.cmd and FirstLogonCommands supposedly perform similar functions, though the latter has never worked for me. SetupComplete.cmd works beautifully, imo. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...314(WS.10).aspx http://www.msfn.org/board/firstlogoncommands-t90863.html

http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.php teracopy seems to solve most of those issues in XP land.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb736357(VS.85).aspx maybe a command like the following thrown into setupcomplete.cmd: schtasks /create /SC onlogon /RU System /RP "" /TN name /TR yourtask.exe

Maybe post a nice description of the problems you encountered underneath the kernelex thread.

thats cool, you will probably have to just: 1) copy your source over 2) extract the file you are modifying (as it will probably be cabbed looking something like shell32.dl_) 3) modify the file 4) makecab the file again and replace it in your source.

"I want my Windows XP to look like Windows 7" where is that at all in the first post ??? http://www.askvg.com/transform-windows-xp-...omization-pack/

that question is interpreted as "where do I get the images to replace the ones in the system files" the only other thing I could infer is that you want to know where in those files are the cursors and icons are, in which case you will have to be a little more specific as to which icons/images you want to start with first. also: http://www.askvg.com/tutorial-all-about-re...brief-tutorial/

umm..... http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&...amp;safe=active

What is your interval set at? If its much too large maybe the server did not get around to checking the state before it disconnected? Are users restricted to one session? or have you checked to make sure the 'working' session is not still active when the user logs into the 'new' session? are you auditing? are there other events occuring around the time that sessions drop?

nothing is going to get you past a completely different HAL. We have had great success with both Altiris and Acronis across our laptops, only minor driver installs required after the fact.

Is a domain user always a member of at least 1 group? 'Users' defaults, at least, most likely authenticated users as well If above is yes, do you specify it when creating user account? anything other than users/everyone Now, when formatting a computer for use in a Domain, do you still make a Windows User Account (not Administrator) AND domain account? We alias the default administrator to a common name that they would fear changing (i.e. SERVICE). And then we build an account named administrator (not a member of administrators) give it a brutal password and disable it. That serves to catch the occasional ERD commander action and makes you do a bit more work to Kon-Boot it. Are client computer names important on Domains? Using a scheme that lets you know where they are geographically is helpful. Other software that depends on naming may care about having something unique in the first 10 characters or not using a certain wildcard, we had issues with the 10g ODAC that ended up being naming related. When done installing Windows on client machine, do you make the user account on the machine, or through the server? Through the AD box and then make that account a local admin, and cache it (we cache the last 10 users, but if its a single user a lower number would be fine). Spaces are allowed in Windows User Account names, but do you allow them? we separate them firstname.lastname

you will get eaten alive here for that one Acquiring a legitimate copy through legitimate means and refining it yourself would be a quality solution.

Looks to be working as advertised. Thank you very much for the assistance. Edit: This one, pulls all those files into the exe, unpacks them to the created dir, and runs them. It displays the icon in the tray bar, and little balloons pop up giving the user a warm fuzzy about what is occuring. *Seems to not honor the timeout on the traytip, so they generally stay up until the next tray tip is called. I kind of prefer it that way.
