You said DSL wasn't available in your area. Best bet us give Qwest a call and they can check your service availability for you.I think the number is still 1-800-244-1111

You were right the setting looks configured correctly.I doubt you did any vLite stuff, so that cannot be it. Haven't heard any known issues with MDT 2010 (you said workbench - so I think you are using MDT), but you never know. We are in wild guess territory so maybe we need to narrow down the issue. Can you try adding your autounattend.xml to a untouched ISO and see how that ISO installs in a VM. (maybe remove the first login commands and other unnecessary stuff). For the purpose of this test, we just want to know if the ISO installs without the network pop-up proving the XML is being read correctly when installing from DVD and also not being run correctly when installing via WDS. Otherwise if the VM + ISO gets the pop-up too, then I am stumped for now. Back to the drawing board.

Strel posted the link a few back, 1280x1024 in both IE8 and Firefox 3.5+ under Windows 7 x64. If this is a Firefox / IE8 issue, is there/are there any settings I need to adjust locally to fix this. (but that don't explain how MDL manages the trick) Here is a link to the second image. MDL is using vBulletin, not sure if that plays a factor, but their "CODE" tag creates proper scrollbars, (both up and down and side to side) whereas here the "CODE" tag does word-wrap instead of a scroll bar, and the "CODEBOX" tag just doesn't play nice with my browsers. Could this be something specific to vBulletin ? Either way it isn't a big deal, if it can't be done, it can't be done, just thought I would check.

Mount WIM is in the Upper Left corner. To give you an idea of what each command might do, here is the M$ documentation that I followed. When you click it, it will prompt you to choose both an empty folder (to mount the WIM inside) and your Install.wim from the sources folder. There can be no spaces in the path names. It will take the WIM about a minute or three to mount depending on your HDD speed. Next, you will click the "Add-Packages" button and it will prompt you to choose your folder that is full of hotfixes. When you hit the final OK, they will be integrated into your WIM packages, it may take some time to complete so be patient. Afterwards to save these changes, click Commit WIM button (below Mount WIM button). Finally after the WIM is saved, hit the DisMount WIM button to remove the mount point.

It sounds like something is up with your sysprep or your laptop OS, either way, it may be quicker/easier to install a fresh image in a VM and see if that will sysprep properly. If the VM fails too, my first question would be whether or not you vLited your DVD (or any other method to remove components). Otherwise if it works, just install your apps, configure your settings, and sysprep the VM. The captured image should work just fine on real machines.

Current codebox is not respectful of my screen resolution and does not create proper scroll-bars. In most cases it spans the entire length of the longest text and the lower scroll-bar (if showing), only scrolls maybe a 1/2 inch left or right, even when half the text is hidden off-screen. You can clearly see in the first picture how it trails beyond the width of my screen (1280x1024) But in the second picture, it closes itself off within the normal frame width, and provides a proper scroll-bar. Can we fix the CODEBOX to work like the second picture and force it to keep it's scroll-bar in proportion to the HTML page width. The intent is to be able to display and view a script without word-wrap and without having to scroll firefox off-screen to do it.

I kinda got something, not WPI related, but it should work on anything from XP to Windows 7. Basically it scans for a subfolder in the same directory as this script (.\BIN) any runs any matching files of type REG, VBS, MSI silently. @echo off IF EXIST "%~dp0BIN\REG\*.reg" (FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('DIR /B "%~dp0BIN\REG"') DO (start /wait regedit /S "%~dp0BIN\REG\%%A")) IF EXIST "%~dp0BIN\VBS\*.vbs" (FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('DIR /B "%~dp0BIN\VBS"') DO (start /wait %SystemRoot%\system32\cscript //nologo "%~dp0BIN\VBS\%%A")) IF EXIST "%~dp0BIN\MSI\*.msi" (FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('DIR /B "%~dp0BIN\MSI"') DO (start /wait %~dp0BIN\MSI\%%A /QN)) For .EXE it may get tougher, because each brand of installer uses a different syntax. You would need a separate folder for all the .EXE that use /S switch, another for /QUIET, yet another for /S /V/QN and so on. Obviously things like Office will still need be done manually, but with a little luck you should be able to see the pattern to this script and edit it to run some of your .EXE's automagically. The above three are tested and working, these below are off top of my head. (untested) IF EXIST "%~dp0BIN\EXE\*.exe" (FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('DIR /B "%~dp0BIN\EXE"') DO (start /wait %~dp0BIN\EXE\%%A /S /V/QN)) IF EXIST "%~dp0BIN\EXE2\*.exe" (FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('DIR /B "%~dp0BIN\EXE2"') DO (start /wait %~dp0BIN\EXE2\%%A /QUIET)) There is a tool called CMenu that can help you in determining what type of EXE each file is, after you know the correct syntax, sort them into folders. Good luck.

Are you sure ? I was thinking, if you really had the setting already configured, then you wouldn't be getting the dialog. Can you attach, not post, your XML and we will take a look. Unattend.xml

Please edit your post and instead attach your XML file, and I will take a quick look, it is possible to do this, but I cannot stand the word wrap and and plain-text when I can see errors plainly in full color HTML if you attach it. Thanks. First guess is try changing the WillShowUI from "OnError" to "Always"

Yep, it works but is not ideal, the chunk size is larger than most files on the server which is very wasteful on the OS partition. I personally would go with a 10Gb OS partition and a big second partition with the 64Kb chunk size.

For Windows 7 it has been changed, use this for accessing the Public Desktop (formerly all users desktop). %PUBLIC%\Desktop For adding links to the All Users Start Menu, make them in either of these locations (both are exactly the same) %PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs Greater details can be found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_v...crosoft_Windows

Have you already tried to use the XP CD repair install option ? http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm EDIT: Elder Geek has more in-depth manual, with pictures, about half way down. http://www.theeldergeek.com/repairing_windows_xp.htm

Cool, Here is how to disable the explorer extension for future readers.http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums...ec-8e1c701fc7dc

Run something like this from your autounattend.xml - Obviously this is only a snippet and not a working XML file <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation> </OOBE> </component> </settings>See Unattend.chm in the WAIK for more details.

Uninstall your "Internet Accelarator. Those types of programs are usually don't help unless you are on dialup. O4 - Startup: SpeedConnect Internet Accelerator.lnk = C:\Program Files\CBS Software\SpeedConnect Internet Accelerator\speedconnectstartup .exe If not that, then uninstall Microspell, that is the other one it could be. Both of these are in the old list, but not in the new list. Report back.

There are multiple solutions in that thread, which one are you saying worked. Take Ownerhsip The Reg Tweak they used. The Anti-Malware thing. Be a little more specific.

LOL, or you could just use the new account, whatever it is only seems to be only affecting your old account. Very easy to copy your Favorites, My Docs, and Desktop into your new account, most of your applications should not give you any issues, if they do, a quick re-install/repair will fix them. Otherwise, maybe look at your activex controls, do you recognize these websites and trust them ??

Cluberti is right, I don't see srr.exe being called from anywhere in your hijack list, so it is likely being called by a (different exe ??? guess). We can narrow down the search if we can determine whether the issue is machine wide or user account isolated. Here is how to find out. Create a new account, reboot, and log in to the new account. Tell me if the error occurs or not. If it does not occur we can assume it is not a machine wide issue. If the error does occur, re-run hijack this from the new account and it will have a shorter list. Then we just need to go through that list one by one until we find it. But only if the error occurs in the new account, if it doesn't error, we go through the list you already posted (only paying attention to user settings). _____________________________ EDIT: Any reason why you cannot just get a copy of SRR.EXE and place it in the right spot and use something like process monitor to see what app spawns it ? I'd probably unplug my NIC before doing it, but that might be the quickest dirtiest way to find out. Here is the srr.exe main website. http://rescene.info/download.htm Process Monitor and Process Explorer are in here. http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/SysinternalsSuite.zip

Question, when disabling a device via the Device Manager, it alters some setting in the HKLM current control set somewhere. If we could find this setting, in theory, couldn't OP from mount the hive offline and re-enable the device like that Where does device manager reside in the registry ?

If you already "have to" make multiple sysprep's then it could work. I don't think you need a different XML but you will need to tweak it slightly for each OU.

What is your USB drive letter G: ?? \\CompName\G$ should be a valid UNC path. Might work, report back. Otherwise, you can always "Copy" the files onto the USB drive after capturing. WSIM is the tool, settings are added by right-clicking the setting in the lower left pane, and choosing the correct "settings pass" where you would like to insert it. Then configure each setting in the middle frame. Much faster than notepad + google once you understand the basics. Instead of doing that, find a simple OU joining script and call it from SetupComplete.cmd stage or as a first login command in your unattend.xml. Then you only need to sysprep once. When you need to install to a different OU just tweak the script or create a USB drive for each OU.\Sources\$OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd \Sources\$OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts\Add_Computer_OU.vbs Much easier than trying to create a sysprep for each OU.

Well, if it aint there, and it aint at C:\Mount\Windows\Panther\Unattend.xml (inside the mounted WIM image) Then likely you borked something when removing stuff, and your only solution is to start fresh. Before you do, attach (not post) your session.ini and someone smarter than me can take a look at it. LOL, I didn't spend six years in Evil Computer School to be called Mr Jinje !
