  1. Hello mate

    Ok i will try to be a bit more clear about the issue.

    I have SMS Server 2003 SP2 with the OSD Feature pack installed.

    I have Microsoft BDD 2.5 installed.

    Now when i open Microsoft BDD and go through all the steps for setting up the image such as user names in the config.hta. On the last tab for Windows PE x86 it has the path for the Windows PE source file , but at the moment i dont have anything to put in there as we dont have Windows PE 2004 or 2005 only the version of Windows PE that ships with OSD

    I have copied my XP CDROM which has SP2 built in into the Source\XPSP2 directory but i am unable to build a LAB CD as i dont have Windows PE

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your help on this issue :D

  2. Hi guys.

    I have SMS Server 2003 with OSD which has WinPE as part of the OSD

    Now i would like to use Microsoft's BDD but i need a WinPE disc.

    So does anyone know how i might use OSD WinPE with Microsoft BDD?

    Many thanks for any help anyone can give

  3. Hello mate.

    SET PATH=a:\net;a:\;G:\;

    cd \net

    CALL \NET\DOIT.BAT

  5. Ignore that last post. I downloaded gsar111.zip but that had the wrong gsar.exe so i then downloaded gsar110.zip and this seems to be better.

    The issue i have now is that when i boot up with the disk everything is ok it gets the first attempt and then just sits there doing nothing

    Do you know what might be up?

    Cheers

    Craig

  6. i took off the > NUL just so i could see what it is up to and when it runs it says

    Unique Computer Name Generated

    This Program Cannot be run in dos mode

    There was an error

    I downloaded all the files you said on your post. do you think i have the wrong gsar.exe? the gsar.exe i have is 32.6kb

    Something is defo wrong. but i am so happy as i am 99% closer to achiving what i have been doing for the last few months. i can see a light at the end of the tunnel. :rolleyes:

    Thanks again for all your help so far :)

  7. Thank you so much for your reply. I have changed the files as you said.

    It loads everything up ok the it starts to go through the 1,2,3,4,5 attempt then just displays there was an error and the batch file stops

    Do you know what might be up?

    Thank you so so so so so so much for your help on this i cant thank you enough :)

  8. Oh and the batch file only seems to try once i only see First attempt then it moves on.

    could you email me a copy of your batch file & system.ini file so i can see how you have put it together. i will be forever in your debt

    Mnay thanks

  9. I use COMPNAME (search for it on Simtel.net).  Because there is a very small chance that the random name generated with this program will be a duplicate of another I simply run net start a few times, running COMPNAME in between each attempt.

    Notes:

    "ewc" is used for visual formatting and for inserting an increasing delay in seconds between attempts. Can be found on Simtel.net.

    "gsar" is used to search and replace text in text files, in this case my system.ini file. Can be found on SourceForge.

    The DOS version of net start actually initializes networking, unlike the Windows version which lists running services.

    The example above jumps to the "logon" label if an attempt is successful, otherwise it retries a number of times before finally failing and jumping to the "netError" label.

    This method hasn't failed yet on the (literally) thousands of times it's been used by myself or my co-workers.

    Hi there, i really like this script if only i could get it to work.

    When i run the script i get an error can not bind twice in static mode

    I will post a copy of my autoexec.bat & system.ini can you tell me if they are right

    @ECHO OFF

    SET TZ=GHO+00:00
