[Sysprep - Tried Everything - HELP!]

That exe is ok, but it would be nice if there was a simple exe that could detect the processor type. You could then do a case in vb or an if statement and copy over the appropriate hal.

[script to determine hal]

You are correct. The driver part for chipset, vid, audio, and nic have been taken care of in sysprep.inf with oempnpdriverspath statement. The only thing I want to do is prior to the machine detecting the hardware I want to either choose or detect the machine model and have the appropriate hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe copied to the windows system directory. Again your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

[script to determine hal]

I downloaded the utility. I dont see how this will work from dos. Ok. Maybe I need to go simpler. Is there a way I can have a batch file run during windows boot after sysprep to ask person make and model of pc then copy approriate hal ?

Again thanks for sticking with me. I just dont see how dccu will help at dos level. On another note I am not a vbs programmer so the code is a little confusing.

[script to determine hal]

Im am sorry can you include more info ? What is dccu ? Is this a cript to detect the make and model from the bios? Where do I get the script ? How do I implement this ? Do I add code in batch after ghost complete to detect model then do a bunch of if statements to load ntfs4dos then copy over the appropriate ahl files? Sorry for being stupid !!!! Your input is greatly appreciated.

[script to determine hal]

Can you expand on that? I am totally unfamiliar with what you are talking about. Wow looks like what im exactly looking for. Please point me in the right directions..

Thanks,

[script to determine hal]

Hello I am working on making a generic syspreped image for Dell equipment. That being desktops and laptops. I have it down how to get the correct drivers on the machine and get them detected. My question is is there a way to have the HAL detected and replaced on the fly ? If not Can I have all iteration of the hal on the machine and somehow during the first boot have a menu come up and then you select the machine model and copy over the appropriate hal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[addning users and registration]

[Netscape 8.0.1 switches for silent install]

Just dropping a note to see if there are switches or autoit script for a silent install for Netscape 8.0.1. I searched the forums and didnt find anything for this verison. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

[Autoit request for NEtscape 8.0.1]

[sysprep factory mode]

Just dropping a line to see if anyone has used sysprep with factory mode. I was wondering if in fact the registry keys for the new devices would be reenumerated? I want to take an image for a machine like a dell gx20 dump it on a gx270 run sysprep in factory mode then run sysprep and reseal. Does this sound like it would accomplish what I am seeking to do ?

[HKCU and reg.exe]

Thanks a buch that worked fabulously .........

[HKCU and reg.exe]

When I look in the registry HKLM\USER does not exist.. When you create this subkey it loads when a new user logs onto the system ? What about and existing user ?

Thanks for your help it is appreciated.

[HKCU and reg.exe]

I would like to know how to modify the default user profile and a subsequent profile if need be if it already exists.

[HKCU and reg.exe]

Sorry Im am confused.. The reg file I attached needs to modify hkcu I dont understand

how to use the reg command to get that accomplished. I need to import the attached reg file to a specific profile. I know the path to the profile iI need to modify. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry I am having a mental block. Can I reach you by phone this is really bugging me... My email address at work is james.m.cease@slma.com

Thanks,

[HKCU and reg.exe]

Can you please show how I can accomplish this at the user level ... I dont understand how HKLM\user works. Can you explain.....

[HKCU and reg.exe]

I need to modify HKCU as a power user in XP. Is there a way to load the enclosed regfile using the reg.exe command in a batch file. Would I be able to modify the ntuser.dat in c:\documents and setting\xxxxx\NTUSER.dat profile. I only need to modify one profile.

Lock.reg

[Registry ?]

The problem is that power user doesnt have the ability to modify hkcu key and I want to use privilages of a higher accout to make the modiification. I can always modify permissions on the registry , but how can I grant and then revoke permissions in an automated fashion?

[Registry ?]

I need to modify hcu key and above as a power user in XP. For My situation the Power user does not have rights to modify these keys. I know I can add the user to the Administrators group and make my changes, but I dont want to do it that way as there are 80 desktops. Is there a utility that will allow you to modfy keys as a user who doesnt have rights or is there a way to use the system account to accomplish this change? Any help would be appreciated.

[Windows Help]

I was wondering if someone can help. I am attempting the secure windwos xp desktop.

Unfortuately I must have a word document on the desktop and the user can gain access to such things as internet options and many other things by simply clicking on help within word. Is there a way to disable help from all file menus? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

[Need to modify hkcu for all users on a PC]

I would not like to do it that way. IF I were to do that I could put a reg file and a batch in the all users startup folder and have it run at logon. I would like something that is able to determine all the users on a machine and adjust all the profiles.

[Need to modify hkcu for all users on a PC]

I am talking about 800 machines. I know you guys are all pro with this stuff and could help me.

[Need to modify hkcu for all users on a PC]

I need to modify hkcu for all users on a PC. How can I get this accomplished by using an administrator level account. All subsequent users do not have the ability to use regedit or any other tool. I guess the best way would be a script of some sort, but I dont know what to use or how to mod all user accounts.

[Adding right Click to My Computer]

I have added the vaious namespaces to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpaces\

[Copying profiles]

I am completing my unnattended dvd and was wondering if you could copy the administrator profile to the defaul user profile from runonce? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Quick Launch again]

I am having a curious issue. I am creating a new user accout using the cmdlines.txt which looks like so:

[COMMANDS]

"useraccounts.cmd"

"RunOnceEx.cmd"

Here is my useraccounts.cmd file: As you can see I am creating an account

and trying to apply the quick lauch file to the default user profile as well.

REG LOAD "HKU\CUSTOM" "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT"

regedit /s DefaultUser.reg

REG UNLOAD "HKU\CUSTOM"

net user Jim laura1 /add

net localgroup Administrators Jim /add

net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

REGEDIT /S autologon.reg

EXIT

Unfortunalely the new account does not have the quick lauch toolbat activated.

On another note the Administrator profile is not created either??

Any ideas?
