In and around all the flash goodness, is the logic to copy your split swms to the destination and then apply them. I do so from separate discs, and probably wouldnt split or copy the wim if it fit on one disc, I would just run the apply command. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/127382-flash-video-in-winpe-with-just-the-object/page__view__findpost__p__883892

thats exactly what i tried (directly after c: first did not work), fantastic guess sir!

C and D drive. Currently i imagex capture the C and imagex append the D. Then split it into swms burn to disc and deploy. works nicely. In the efforts of saving space I was attempting to capture c: (which is still split due to size) and d: into independent WIMs and then deploy, this results in a 0xc00000e, which bcdboot will fix. Can anyone explain the difference between: imagex /ref C:\zWIM\*.swm /apply C:\zWIM\Win7x86.swm 1 C: imagex /ref C:\zWIM\*.swm /apply C:\zWIM\Win7x86.swm 2 D: VS imagex /ref C:\zWIM\*.swm /apply C:\zWIM\Win7x86.swm 1 C: *Then delete the c:\zWim folder recursively, and copy the D drive Wim to that staging location and run imagex /apply C:\zWIM\Win7x86.wim 1 D:

sorry for the delay, here are the contents of unattended GC. setupact.txt setuperr.txt

* a rearm fixes the "not-genuine" issue so that the user can activate the system, however i would still like to determine why this "not genuine" issue is only present on a single set of hardware (1/22). apparently this was premature, we seem to be hitting a threshold, where after x number of days of not activating, it displays as not genuine.

sysprepped image works good for 20 different types of systems, however one type reports the windows 7 load as not genuine, and thus refuses activation. Any light that can be shed on this would be useful.

2 gigs of RAM, no S3 setting in BIOS, attached is the setupact.log. It seemed the only useful log as the setuperr.log is blank. **setupact.log terminates in the same fashion as successful deployments with this image.

stock load doesnt take either, ill grab the contents of the panther folders and double check the BIOS and RAM tomorrow morning and update, thanks trip.

Any guidance on determining the limitation of a system in the following (its an MPC T3000, so its ridiculously old, but i would like to find the root cause, and if that can be addressed): 1) a known good sysprepped Windows 7 automated install + shutdown 2) system boots back up, progresses through detect driver phase (goes seemingly fine), and restarts 3) upon boot it hangs at "starting windows" (at this point on other systems it would prompt for compname and timezone). **Safe Mode displays the line for AGPi and then hangs, but i would hate to blame the integrated video without some kind of evidence other than thats where safe boot stb. Thanks for any direction.

That seems to have all the magic. Though I have no need for the additional goodness, just sound (to accompany the video), and would still be interested in how it can be accomplished with the fewest pieces.

any avenues to explore would be great

projector exe works like champ (minus the sound - but that my be the test computer), thanks. If i cant figure out the embedded stuff in the near future i will probably litter the autoitforums with my questions on how to best gain control of the projector GUI. Glad to see you splitting your time between the places i ask questions EDIT: my original solution works as well. will post an example over in the auoitforums when i get it all prettied. Using the object directly however you get incredible lag when trying to do anything else in memory (like a file copy).

when the WIM fits on one disc the following syntax is used and works beautifully imagex /apply install.wim 1 C: imagex /apply install.wim 2 D: imagex /apply install.wim 3 E: I would like to split this image in 2 parts for DVD install, I would be most interested in best practice for spanning swm files with multiple drives. I would layout the fight I have had with imagex /split and createspannedshares.cmd, but all efforts were fruitless, so i figured best to start soliciting from scratch.

Why not just run it from a batch file that you call once a week? Instead of turning on the DAILY backup service. Wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\<servername>\<sharename>\ -include:C:,D:,E: -vssFull -quiet "If you save a backup to a remote shared folder, that backup will be overwritten if you use the same folder to back up the same computer again."

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754015%28WS.10%29.aspx wbadmin delete systemstatebackup wbadmin enable backup also has an -addtarget argument

and so far you have posted generic examples both here and the autoit forums (where no one has replied either). 1) no one is going to download some executable from mediafire, and then tell you how to make a similar program (to answer you on the autoit forum). wait, no 1) reposting the same topic 24 hours after your last one because "no one helped you" is teh suck. 2) Have you browsed ?? There are only hundreds of scripts that perform essentially the same functions.

Sorry if this was step 1, I just didnt see it tried in the thread. right click on any shortcut and go to properties hit change icon browse C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe for icons are the little computer and desktop icons there, and if so can you apply them to other shortcuts?

".net*" works just fine though you also catch .net URLs so you might want to specify framework

Nice, thanks Clu

I just started exploring deploying 2008 R2 Datacenter to @5000 systems worldwide, all independent of eachother. Many of them are online, but even a percentage of those may be restricted from what is necessary to activate online. I will certainly be discussing with MS how to facilitate this, as now its just a volume license. I have read about the "call and ask the nice person on the phone for the ID" solution provided, just wondering if there are any other mass rollout (of potentially disconnected systems) solutions I should ask about. Currently, the only thing I can think is to ask if a single product key (the one on the image) can be tied to 5000 activation IDs and can I have all those IDs up front (rather than the end-user calling in), to send out with the discs? is that feasible? Thanks

is as close as i got, i dont know if Jaclaz's solutions were explored. You would also need to disable the system speaker (in the BIOS, or pull the wire) if you did not want beeps.
