[Change Wallpaper Daily]

Hi,

Looking for some advise on this if possible.

Current set up as follows.

Windows XP SP2 / SP3 running bginfo via registry :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

"BGINFO"="Bginfo.exe c:\\windows\\system32\\gds1.bgi /timer:0"

This has no wallpaper enabled, plain blue background colour set.

What I'm looking to do is over the December period have a different wallpaper image applied every day.

We have GPO and Quest installed for applying GPO's.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

[Hotfix Integration into XP OSD WIM]

Hi,

Been trawling through the forums but can't seem to find anything on what I'm trying to achieve.

I have a OSD created WIM file of a XP machine. What I was hoping to do was mount that wim file and integrate any missing XP hotfixes. I can find lots of details about doing this with msu Vista files but nothing on XP .exe files.

Has anyone got any help on this.

Cheers

[WPI Launch Issue]

[WPI Launch Issue]

Hi,

Been using WPI for sometime. Great tool.

Moved onto the latest version but I am having some issues launching the hta.exe.

My machine joins the domain then runs a batch file to run some printer / programs default settings, as part of the bat file I call the hta.exe like this :

start /w %windir%\system32\mshta.exe c:\packagedapps\PDU_APP\wpi.hta

Now this would normally stop the original batch file until I choose my programs to install from WPI. Once WPI finishes the installs it would then finish the batch file and reboot.

I can see a white page launch then dissapear, then the batch file continues, as it start to shutdown the white page appears again and then I see my WPI splash screen, but this goes as the machine is shutting down.

I did enter a sleep command after the start /w %windir%\system32\mshta.exe c:\packagedapps\PDU_APP\wpi.hta which works but is not something I would like to do.

Any help would be great.

My config file is for WPI Config 7.2.0+

[Power Management Settings - Multiple Hardware Issue]

What I was hoping for is a reg setting to disbale the "USB Root Hub - Power Management Settings - allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option. i.e uncheck this box accross multiple hardware machines.

I would then be able to apply this as reg fix as a post install through OSD , so it shouldn't matter on the make of machine / hardware type.

Since this is a registry tweak, I suggest u try monitor thru Regshot Unicode

A quick check reveal my test m/c (XP) registry key is at

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}\0003\HcDisableSelectiveSuspend: 0x00000001

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}\0003\HcDisableSelectiveSuspend: 0x00000001

Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." will create these 2 keys on my own test m/c. I'm unsure it is standard or m/c dependant.

Thanks for the reply. Not used that reg tool before, very handy. Been trying with regmon but to much info in logs. Just need to test on a few other machines but they all look the same other than some going from 0000 to 0007.

[Power Management Settings - Multiple Hardware Issue]

Everything works fine (SATA working , thanks to article from this forum ) other that an issue with the USB Root Hub - Power Management Settings.

[VMware - OSD Capture Issue]

Hi,

I hope i'm posting in the correct forum

Looking for some help on an issue I have n capturing an image in OSD 2003.

The set up I have is a VMware ESX virtual image with Windows XP SP2 with the relevant SCSI LSI drivers added into the base OS image.

The build has completed fine and I know want to sysprep this VM image into our live SMS 2003 server.

When I run the sysprep it all loks great and eventually turns the machine off. I then power up the image and boot from CD. It then scan the image and starts to capture the image up to my server. Now every time it reaches 1058mb in the capture it turns the VM ware XP workstation off, so it fails to capture the whole image.

At first I thought it may be a corrupt file when it could see the last folder it was using before it closed down. So I deleted that folder and tested again. This time it went further but still failed when it reached 1058mb in the capture phase.

Beginning to pull my hair out now, what I have left anyway !!!

Any help would be great

[Scripting Help]

All you need is a simple search and replace utility. Although this can be done using scripting, there are already some fantastic tools out there for this type of task. My suggestion would be to use rpl.exe.

Download the zip binary package, place the exe from the bin directory somewhere within your %path%. Within your console navigate to C: and run the following line of code:

rpl -R -q -x .txt DAMREM004202 DAMREM004203 *

Works a treat thanks

[Scripting Help]

so you want a way to rename a folder of text files to the first line contained in the text file?

how about a vbscript to do that:

Const ForReading = 1

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\Log.txt", ForReading)
strCharacters = objFile.Readline
objFile.Close

strNewName = "C:\Scripts\" & strCharacters & ".txt"

objFSO.MoveFile "C:\Scripts\Log.txt", strNewName

Thanks for the reply,

What I am looking for is a script that will search through all *.txt files in c:\ for a txt value within the .txt file and replace it with another text value.

Something like this.

Within the follow 1-3.txt files I want to search and replace say "DAMREM004202" to "DAMREM004203"

1.txt

DAMREM004202

FOUSAF0000022

CRDCRR000010P1

2.txt

DAMREM004202

POLLH00005502

CRDCRR000010P1

3.txt

DAMREM004202

DRTCA0000022

[Scripting Help]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the best section in this forum for help. Here's hoping

Looking for some help in scripting a batch file to do the following.

I have a dir full of folders that contain lots of txt files. The naming conversion for the txt files are all different.

The txt file contents look like this :

DAMREM004202

FOUSAF0000022

CRDCRR000010P1

What I want the batch file to do is look for say "DAMREM004202" and update all the txt files that contain that reference to say "DAMREM004203"

This is an application stack that we use with OSD to deploy applications. Problem we have found is when it comes to update the software to a new version we will have to update all txt files so the new software version is used if we need to rebuild the machine from OSD.

Thanks for you help in advance

Why not just use nLite to integrate the patches as well? Also, why does it file have its own directory?

Our base OSD build get's updated every three months with all MS patches. We are implementing ITMU within the next three months but need to continue patching our existing estate of 15000 machines.

Own dir for each patch just to make it easier to maintain.

Hi,

Finally got my work batch file for patching up and running covering XPSp1 / XPSp2 / 3 version's of Office / Visio / Project.

Have a question though.

My script is now a meaty 14 pages long . Is it possible to reduce my script in someway with regards to the following :

My Xp patches call the following

cd MS06-011

call XP.bat

cd..

cd MS06-014

call XP.bat

cd..

cd MS06-015

call XP.bat

cd..

cd MS06-018

call XP.bat

cd..

cd MS06-022

call XP.bat

cd..

etc.

All the way down to Ms07.

Any thoughts ?

[SMS MS Patches - Install Solution]

We will be moving to IMTU within the next 6 months or so but I need to resolve this now as it is now begining to cause issue's where machines are not being patched. I managed to have this mess dumped on me as it was being rotated around a team of tech's that never used the standards scripts that were provided to them to use

Just a thought but what is preventing you from using ITMU now? The hardest part of your solution is creating the detection logic and that alone is valuable time that SMS could be fixing your computers. Within one detection cycle after advertising the sync agent you would have a complete picture of what you need to fix and the packages you need to create. Even better, the reports for software compliance are updated along with the inventory so you can track your progress much mroe easily, something your homegrown solution will probably not do. OS detection is easy but ITMU gives you the rest of the detection. If your waiting for SMS 2003 SP3, that will be out on 27 APR 07 (ie Friday) and its more than worth it to switch and take two weeks to figure it out rather then reinvent the wheel. If your network is as borked as you say it is (been there, done that way too much), spending the week or so to figure out how to use ITMU which is not that hard will more than payoff in total time to completion.

Thanks again for the reply.

We have a very complex change management / strategic agenda process in place, which have set the timescales for this change. Might just have to live with what is there at present and fix if possible.

[SMS MS Patches - Install Solution]

Hi,

thanks for the reply Mason and JohnGruhn. We will be moving to IMTU within the next 6 months or so but I need to resolve this now as it is now begining to cause issue's where machines are not being patched. I managed to have this mess dumped on me as it was being rotated around a team of tech's that never used the standards scripts that were provided to them to use

I have had another thought today about a different method. Any thoughts on this or help ?

What I would do is create a master list of KB files for SP1 / SP2 /WIN2K.

Query for machine type. Then query the reg against that list of KB file for that machine type. Pipe out the list of missing KB files then install those KB files.

Sounds easy but any help would be great.

1. The first part of the above script copies a few tools to the %windir%\system32 folder for future use.

2. The second part adds a reg value for quering (found later)

3. We have a few type's of machines on the network at the moment . Most are XPsp2 but we have a few NT4 and Win2K machines.

So a query is run to find out what type of machine

it is then it run's the relevant batch file. i.e xp_patches.bat 2k_patches.bat nt4_patches.bat

I will concentrate on the xp_patches.bat as the 2k_patches.bat and nt4_patches.bat run in the same manner.

%windir%\system32\reg.exe add HKLM\Software\GDS\VersionControl\PatchControl\OSPatch /v MS07_Complete /t REG_SZ /d Apr1 /f

The script will look in the patchcontrol area in the reg for value called MS03_complete, MS04_complete, MS05_complete etc

If this value is found then that means that the machine has been completely patched for that MS range i.e MS05. If the value is not

found then it will continue on installing each of the MS patches until it reaches the end of the above script.

Below is the xp.bat file that is called for each on the MS patches, although the patche's , data may change they all

follow the same method.

:MSPatchCheck
rem reg query to identify if the patch is installed.
%windir%\system32\reg.exe QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3\KB926436" /v Description | 
%windir%\system32\find.exe "926436" && goto out

rem reg query to see if XP-SP2 is installed.
%windir%\system32\reg.exe QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v CSDVersion | 
%windir%\system32\find.exe "Service Pack 2" && goto xpsp2

:xpsp1
rem XP sp1 patch files here
WindowsXP-KB926436-x86-custom-ENU.exe /QUIET /NORESTART 
goto end

:xpsp2
rem XP sp2 patch files here
WindowsXP-KB926436-x86-ENU.exe /QUIET /NORESTART 
goto end

:end
rem Sets time of PC
net time /set /y
rem add reboot flag to registry
%windir%\system32\reg.exe add HKLM\Software\GDS\VersionControl\PatchControl /v Reboot_Pending /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f

:out
rem Copies Flag file to smsinstall folder.
md c:\smsinstall
copy /Y KB926436.exe c:\smsinstall\KB926436.exe
goto finish

:NotReq
rem Copies Flag file to smsinstall folder.
md c:\smsinstall
copy /Y KB926436NA.exe c:\smsinstall\KB926436NA.exe

:finish

1. It first check's the reg to see if it has been patched already. If already patched it goes to out and creates a dummy file "KB926436.exe"

within a folder called c:\smsinstall then exit's. This is done for SMS reporting as we one sweep for .exe in SMS 2003. Thsi is to help with a

slow network infrastructure.

2. If the reg value is not found it queries for XPsp1 or XPsp2 and then install's the relevant MS patch and then copies the dummy file

to c:\smsinstall then exit's and move's onto the next patch foler as in MS07-12 etc.

My question is. I have been tasked in making this process as simple as possible. If anyone has any idea's or comments on the above,

please leave me a reply.

Cheers

[MSI - Local copy then running]

Hi,

I have a few cmd's with msi and mst commands within that require to be run from the local disc.

I can copy the content off my WPI disc but in WPI 5.6 what command would I use to call the CMD file from the temp folder ?

Thanks in advance

[Splashscreen help]

after step 1, enable automatic login using this information:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231

before step 4, disable it again by deleting the keys

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. This is what I started with, but the issue is when this attempts to logon i.e. reboot then ctrl/Alt/del our work XP build has a splashscreen. If you press ok it then logs on using the username and password entered in reg.

Any thoughts

Cheers

[Splashscreen help]

Hi,

Looking for some help. I have an app to install that requires a reboot and then a log back on to complete the install.

What I need to try and get round is our XP in the office has a splashscreen when you press ctrl/Alt/del before you get to enter username / password.

What I need the script to do is :

1. Install first part of app and reboot. (this is working and also applies a reg for part 4)

2. Get to ctrl/Alt/del screen and press an ok button.

3. Enter admin username and password (Fails because of part 2)

4. Complete second part install. (once logged on it installs)

Thanks in advance

Stuart
