To do this you will NEED to run sysprep on the final install and remove the details from the sysprep.inf file so they are required to be typed.

OK thanks what would I use if I simply wanted to rename the built in Admin account to Admin?

hey dude you know when you amend the winnt sif command 9 and command 10 what happened to 1-8 ? Can I use these? Do they get executed by the command number or the order they are in in the sif file? Cheers

The build went well apart from a pause in setup to install the "Plug and play monitor" It wanted to connect to the internet. Ive seen this once before when doing this work i cant remember if it happened with RISULT or AutoRIS that time but it certainly didnt happen with AUTORIS yesterday. Kind of rewins the unattended piece lol. The files are now deleting fine also.

Ok some early results following build Custom SIF now seems to process correctly Still getting an error in the batch file not found Done! You've completed the slipstream process! Now test and ENJOY the pleasure of having a fully Unattended Windows XP CD/DVD wich will work on *virtually_any_PC*! ################################################################################ Done Performing post-integration processing on RIS file set...

OK I will make a new build today. Just to also let you know this is being tested and used on a Windows 2000 RIS server

You da man! Any idea also how to rename Administrator to Admin lol ?

for those who are interested the problem relates to [unattended] OEMpreinstall=yes My was set to no!

Hi Guys, Ive finally managed to get RISULT integrating the DTS drivers and RYANVM working and need to make some final amendments to my RIS setup. I want to do the following things Disable fast user switching (im not joining a domain just a workgroup) Rename Administrator account to Admin Disable windows firewall Set Automatic Updates to download and tell me before installing option and most importantly enable Remote Desktop Does anyone have any ideas of how I would go about doing these? Cheers Res

Hi ive today sucessfully and finally used your script. My problem with the files was my .sif file You need to make sure that OEMpreinstall=yes else it dosnt copy the files to the root. Anyway some feedback and bugreports if i may. 1. When specifying a default .sif file the script goes ahead and deletes ristndrd.sif but does not make the[guirunonce] amendments to the custom sif file. This in turns causes the finish.cmd and cleanup.cmd not to be exexuted post install. Ive gotten around this by commenting out the default sif section and renaming my default .sif to ristndrd.sif. This way the entries are correctly made to my custom file. 2. I still seem to be getting a file not found error in the script around this stage REM Move necessary BTS files to RIS suitable locations MOVE /Y OEM\bin\7za.exe $OEM$\$$\System32 >> "%LOGALL%" MOVE /Y OEM\bin\SetDevicePath.exe $OEM$\$1\D >> "%LOGALL%" MOVE /Y OEM\bin\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe $OEM$\$1\D >> "%LOGALL%" MOVE /Y OEM\*.7z $OEM$\$1 >> "%LOGALL%" Im not able to pinpoint the exact location as the logfile (which ive attached) appears to stop loggin after the error has occured. The script does however finish. There are several entries below these lines that appear to require logging but do not appear on the log. 3. There seems to be a problem with your amended BTS cleanup and finish.cmd. (although ive not actually ran them in the context you have due to the problem stated in section 1) i have manually clicked them and seen some problems. Finish.cmd runs fine and appears to want to copy the BTS_DPs_cleanup.cmd to %SYSTEMDRIVE%\TEMP After running the file the only file I see is one called TEMP with no file extension on the root. Editing this file indeed reveals that it is infact the cleanup.cmd. After giving this file back its file extension ive found problems from within this file also. the file reads CMDOW @ /HID DEL /F /Q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.7z DEL /F /Q %WINDIR%\system32\setupold.exe DEL /F /Q %WINDIR%\system32\7za.exe %WINDIR%\system32\presetup.cmd RD /S /Q %SystemDrive%\D Now line 5 appears to want to run presetup.cmd. i cant see a reason for this to happen at all as that file executes at the beginning of the GUI section of setup. Should that read DEL %WINDIR%\system32\presetup.cmd ?????????? Furthermore none of the %SystemDrive%\D got deleted. When i ran that line from dos there were millions of errors stating the files were already in use. Saying that though the problem could have been due to the fact presetup.cmd tried to execute. I would like to thankyou once again for all the hard work you have put into this project and look forward to your feedback. Thanks Res

OK thats fixed it! Thanks for all your patience and assistance! Now the scripts are properly running ive noticed the amount of changes that your app makes to a standard windows installation. Many of which i dont want or need. What i do want to do is disable firewall, disable fast user switching (im not joining a domain just a workgroup) and most importantly for me enable Remote Desktop. Have you any clues on how I would go about doing this? thanks again

"but do you have $OEM$ parallel to i386?" = Yes "[unattended] OemPreinstall=Yes" = No! I think you may be onto something!

Hi rogue thanks for the update but I still have the exact same problem as the guy that posted above. I see where your coming from however I am still getting the error that it cannot find the file watchdriversigning.exe. I know why it is but what I dont know is what im doing different to make all you guys not have the problem! As i have explained before your presetup.cmd makes the PC look at C:\wathdriversigning.exe however my file which SHOULD be copied to C: root by being in $OEM$\$1 is simply not in that position after the textmode reboot. All of the files are in $win_nt$.~ls\$OEM$\$1 if i take a look at the state of the harddisk with BART PE when the error occurs. So I understand why it cant find the file because its not actually in the place where its looking. What I dont understand is why my OEM$\$1 is not at the root of C: at this stage and what I am doing wrong to make it still be in win_nt$.~ls\$OEM$\$1 at this stage! Any ideas?

Hi sorry for delayed reply! My hardward is differnt HALS, MSD and NICS. A very broad range I want a single ghost image to serve all these computers. At this time im maintaining 12 images and its a ball ache!

Thanks dude Ive posted this also in another thread (Autoris problem) OK I give up I just cant get this to work! I really did want the mass storage drivers integrated however I was getting errors. So I decided to go with the method 2 helper addon as the AutoRIS seems to be geeared towards that anyway and not really compatible with a full M2 slipstream and even that does not work. I am still getting cannot find C:\Watchdriversigning.exe and other itterations depending on which method I use (as stipulated in PRESETUP.CMD) I see the file is sat in the $1 folder on the ris server so theoretically it should be copied to the root of C however if I pause the setup after text mode reboot and look at the files on the harddisk with BART PE at that stage all the $1 folder is sat within a folder called $win_nt$.~ls so its no wonder setup cant find the file. Any ideas at all guys cos this is really p***ing me off now lol

Hey dude ive managed to get a pretty good looking file set using RISULT however I did get one file not found error near the end. It didnt seem to copy the 7za driver pack files? Can I confirm they should be in $OEM$\$1 in 7za format? Where should they be in the pre structure? Mine were in Unattend\RIS\BTS root. Maybe that was where I went wrong? Anyhow the presetup.cmd file looks amended good however now ive got a problem loading the image. I get in textmode "The OS you selected does not contain the necessary driver for yoru network adapter" I notice that in AutoRIS Rogue includes a s***load of updated drivers in the NIC_Drivers folder. How do I go about including these in the completed RISULT build? Cheers

Thanks dude I will try that. Did you use RISULT or AUTORIS initially? Also what options do you choose method 2? I chose GuiRunonce and KTD=off is that correct?

Rissetup. The above is not my RIS folder structure it is the contents of the harddisk just after the graphic part of the setup is started and the error occurs. Ive looked at your RISULT script and it also does not seem to edit the PRESETUP.CMD file. That file is pointing at the CD drive so I dont see how you could have got through without the error?

This thread is my exact problem and relates Cheers http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=66624

Heres a shot of the file system just after the error has occured. This is being viewed through Bart PE its the $win_nt$ folder thats confusing me. Ive copied the OEM folder into $OEM$\$1 as you stated above and amended the batch files but it still does not work. The $OEM$\$1 is actually within that $win_nt$.~ls folder and you can see the OEM folder within it. Just need help with the EXACT lines you changed in the batch files and what EXACTLY you changed them to! Please help dude!

Thanks although a OEM folder is also not present on the RIS structure? Have a look at this thread the guy has exactly the same problem and said he fixed it. He has not gone into great detail how though. Have you any idea exactly what lines he would of amended? Im looking at a ghost image of the disk taken just after that error and all the required files seem to now live in C:\$win_nt$.~ls\$OEM$ http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=66624&hl=RIS The thread is above

Hey dude i have exact same problem Can you tell me exactly what lines you changed in the files? Did you amend OEM to $OEM$ etc? Also i see no driver packs on my RIS install folder? Should they be there and where? Cheers

Thanks Any ideas on my new error with the driversinging error? Cheers Res
