Did somebody tried to apply policies with OCT ? My MSP works but do not apply the policies. I had to work with both methods ( A and B ) to completely get it silent. I cannot put MSP in Updates folders because I need one MSP for standard and another one for pro. So I use setup.exe with the swithes /config and /adminfile with the path where files are and logfile say me that it found both files. Logfile shows me a few couples errors like Error: Type: MsiRecordSetInteger call failed.. MsiAPICallFailure ErrorCode: 87(0x57). MSI(UNKNOWN_MESSAGE) terminating install : MsgType='167772160', Msg='1: 2: 3: 4: 5: My customs settings are applied except policies for Onlines craps. Any idea ?

Easiest way to pack this soft is to use RegShot to capture registry changes while installing VSO Image Resizer and keep what is good. With 7zip, compact VSO folder from program files directory. You can discard unnecessary languages files before ziping it. Open VSO Image Resizer, make your profile settings and export them from hkcu\software\vso\ You're now ready to install it on a clean machine ! Unzip your pack in program files directory Merge your regfiles Manualy register RSZShell.dll Make some shortcut That's it !

It's now available Here

Take a look here Poweroff It's free and can runs as a service. Should do what you need !

I use NirCmd with rasdial switch to create users and passwords HTH

Thanks It's more complete then nircmd.exe and it will be usefull in the installation phase. But the compiler you use to pack the exe make it detected as malware by *some* scanning tools, in my case Outpost. Only one switch is missing ... silent mode !

Kind of think devcon.exe do HTH

Suggestions ! Printer Removal Utility You can use it to retrieve printers name then delete printers

You should look for a tool named powercfg.exe available in WinXp sp2

ModifyProfile do this kind of job ... but from command line

How do I change the binding order ? By default Xp gives priority to wireless over wired causing long delay before displaying the login box. If I go to network connections/advanced menu/advanced settings and set priority to wired over wireless, the problem is solved. For security reasons, all wireless network class and protocol had been disabled with devcon.exe and IbindCfg.exe. I tried to change the "metric" without any result. Crosoft KB894564 suggest me to write a tool in C++ to fix this problem !!! Anybody had something to fix this problem ?

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{5A8D6EE0-3E18-11D0-821E-444553540000} Deleting this key prevent ICW to be active when you launch IE for the first time ... and it works for every new user [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce] "^SetupICWDesktop" Deleting this key prevent ICW shortcut on desktop ... and it works for every new user HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard Completed = "01,00,00,00" Modifying this value prevent ICW to be launched only for the current user In a normal circumstance, combination of the first and second actions should be enough

Usualy the config.cfg is in source\CLIENT folder and it should be copied in source\CLIENT\WIN32 folder to be used. New in v7, GW is already available in msi flavor and there is a GroupWise MSI Tuner, which allows you to modify the parameters of an MSI installation. Easy does it !

You should found what you're looking for here Installing with the Configuration File

Did you tried deleting this key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{5A8D6EE0-3E18-11D0-821E-444553540000}

I think you're missing something ! No you dont have to. It was just to be sure that the command in this key was exactly the same one that work on prompt. And if it works on prompt ... why not in RunOnce !!! Once again, this command will fix your dialer for every new user who had never logged before you write it to the registry. It simple and it works ! If you want to apply this fix on existing user, please read previous post

No other suggestions ! It works. At the office, over 400 laptops had been deployed that way. Few check to get it work ... rasphone.pbk must be in "AllUser" reg.exe must be somewhere in your path search Connection name in command line must be the same as in the Lan Connection window Any error if you type the commands one by one at prompt ? Before unloading the hive, take a look in hklm\tmp\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\FixDialer and see if you get the same command that works at the prompt. You should not see the backslash in the registry, only the double-quoted variable like that %windir%\system32\nircmd.exe setdialuplogon "VPN1" "user1" "password" "domain1"

Ok let's go a step further Xp store this setting in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{modem id}\000?] "ModemProfile" ... a real mess when you want to apply a solution for different kind of modems (laptops) Let's do it another way ! Your connection must exist (alluser) before doing that Dont worry, if by default, RunOnce does not exist in the Default User hive ... it works reg load hklm\tmp "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\ntuser.dat" set cmd="%windir%\system32\nircmd.exe setdialuplogon \"VPN1\" \"user1\" \"password\" \"domain1\"" reg add hklm\tmp\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v FixDialer /t reg_sz /d %cmd% reg unload hklm\tmp In this case, every users who logs in for the first time will get a working dialer If you need to fix connection on machine where users have already logs in, you should look for Modify Profile and add the same command (with a regkey) in RunOnce of every existing users hives. Be carefull ... when you load hive you must unload that hive before closing session or restart HTH Sorry for my franglish

Yes it's possible. Look for and edit Rasphone.pbk file in the %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk folder Add a new paragraph and change name/phone number for each alternate connection Use Nircmd.exe to create the user name, password and domain of your dial-up item. Look around "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections" if you want to link PAC to that connection. HTH

Hi Everyone, Just want to share that little tool that goes little further than the excellent mdes script USBDLM assign usb drives letters the way you want and not necessarily to the first free drive letter available. It bypass the mapped networks drives *bug* in Xp. You can define desired DriveLetters, ExcludedVolumeLabels, ExcludedLetters. Also, you can let USBDLM assign the letter depending on the size of the drive. USBDLM check if there is a USBDLM.INI on the drive ... making an easy half way solution for hardcoded script on the usb drive. It's Free for private and educational Briefly ... a real piece of cake ! Enjoy ! USBDLM V1.1.1

Would like to give it a try but get "some required files are missing" with the download link. Any working link ? Thanks

No reply yet ! Using getmac.exe from sdk and reg.exe Tested on a single nic pc HTH

If this can help you ... I use GetMac to retrieve all "connection name" and IBindCFG to disable/enable binding of ms_msclient and ms_server on those nic interfaces ... even with virtual card !

Any help ! For the proxy, there is probably a syntax error in your [WindowsFirewall] Profies = WindowsFirewall.Standard To be confirmed on Xp ... but on win2k the variable OemPnPDriversPath was limited to 255 caracters. Yours make something like 413.

To start, "type for /?" at prompt Some exemples here ... http://users.telenet.be/mydotcom/howto/scr...scripts.htm#for Batch Function Library http://www.commandline.co.uk/lib/treeview/index.php Finaly ... good reference for cooking scripts http://www.jsifaq.com/reghack.htm HTH
