My initial thoughts would be to install everything before the system restart and the joining to the domain.
Past that create a domain account that only has access to the folder you are installing stuff from, set it to be one with a permenant password, make sure you use some kind of password encryption (I can't member the util that does this in a windows install, right this second) and make it a VERY long password as well for security sake.

I have a Microsoft link -- http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa718401.aspx -- to download manual installation ISOs of free express editions of VB, VC#, VC++ and VJ#. But they are the 2005 versions
-- will they work with w98se?
Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition 449,848 KB .IMG File | .ISO File
Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition 445,282 KB .IMG File | .ISO File
Visual C# 2005 Express Edition 445,282 KB .IMG File | .ISO File
Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition 474,686 KB .IMG File | .ISO File
Visual J# 2005 Express Edition 448,702 KB .IMG File | .ISO FileIf not, are there any archive links to "express"-type editions of VB and VC for W98se
?
Unless you patch your version of 98 to work with Windows 2000/XP programs those won't work very well.
The express editions you are looking at now all require a minimum of Windows 2000 to get working, also you need to install the .Net framework, which I'm pretty sure doesn't work in 98

If anything that I can see build a Autoinstall CD with all the drivers and such on It, then go from there, basically cut down the amount of time you spend at each computer to a couple of minutes for starting the installation.

with Excel 2003/2000 and the vlookup across Workbooks this can happen almost all of the time.
but if you have 2 sheets (tabs) the vlookup should be working.
the only thing that I can think of would be the formatting of the cells themselves, are you comparing 2 cells that are formatted the same, or are they different, do some of the cells that are not showing stuff have apostrophes (') in the cells
With Excel 2007 it seems to work a little better,
Can you show the formula that you are using? and what version of Excel you are using as well?

Run a Registry Scanner, something where you can take a snapshot before and after, then you can get the registry settings from that.

I suggest Windows PE/BartPE which can detect the MAC of the nic in the computer (if they are onboard it'll work even better) from there you can generate the answer file with the correct product key attached to the MAC which you can store in a DB on your server, as well copy any related activation files over before the computer restarts to finish off the rest of the install.

and lets me use the cd key but it still does not
still does not what ?
-what cd are you using instead of the OEM ?
-is there no key on the computer (sticker) ?
-search the forum for "OEM", there is a lot about this sort of issue.
What version of the Installation files are you using?
OEM XP Pro/Home setup files, or Retail XP Pro/Home Setup files?
I know they differ (had this kinda cd-key problem b4) with my installation sets.

When several computers share an internet connection, in this case there is a network of computers connected using a wireless router, share an internet connection, do they all have the same external IP?
And what's the correct term for the computer that is physically connected to the modem? A Gateway?
Yes and yes.
However, a gateway is a computer (or router) that other computers connect to in order to access the Internet.
and to Complicate this a little more, the protocol that the Gateways/Routers normally use because it's probably the easiest to setup (espically the non managed variety of Routers) is NAT (Network Address Translation).

Just a thought, since you are using WinPE 2.0, and Windows 2000 needs to have SP4 to read a partition that Windows XP SP2 has created, does your Windows 2000 installation source have SP4 integrated?

Here is a slight possibility, I may be wrong, but you never know this could be it
Within the "My Pictures" folder the ultra hidden file entitled "desktop.ini"
If you modify the contents of that file to reflect another folder's "desktop.ini" (eg another folder which you like the settings for).
This could potentially resolve your issue.

1 - YES!!!
2 - Just after you hit the "press any key to boot from cd" button
3 - I answer with questions of my own - Where does it fail? what does it say when it fails? cause the unattended.txt file looks ok to me (but i might not be reading this right).

well as long as all of the cells stay in the same spot you can still use the sum function, but it looks a little different (kinda likewhat jaclaz said.)
=SUM(Jan!I11,Feb!I11, Mar!I11, Apr!I11, May!I11, Jun!I11, Jul!I11, Aug!I11, Sep!I11, Oct!I11, Nov!I11, Dec!I11)

I work for an IT dept and im rebuilding a users computer and I want to copy off the old pc the macro's she uses but i cant figure out where those files if there is any reside.. Can someone help me on how to copy a macro from one pc to another.
Thanks
The macros in excel are actually stored within the Excel file itself.
so as long as the Excel files are backed up they will be too
any default workbooks that run at startup will be under
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART\"
or
"C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates"

my startnet.cmd is really simple, i dont know if i should have other stuff in it
factory -winpe
maybe you should add something like
CMD.EXE to the end of your startnet.cmd
that seemed to work for me a while back.

BUT how do you use them? what is the syntax for using the MSPATCHA.DLL file w/out using any third party tools?
well, if you have VB6, you can compile this and use it to find out what the syntax of the dll is

i haven't tryed this myself, but this is what the author says it can do.

Quick question here,
Is there any way to use your own install sources
Eg. I setup my own Web server on my local network and for the program to download from that server instead.

Hi,
I'm working on a project at work to build an unattended install for new pcs and also to rebuild pcs. We currently have a menu written in C++ that allows the user to select options for the build.
For various reasons we are looking to migrate the menu to Visual Basic. I have seen several users on here that have done it so I know it's possible.
I need to enable Visual Basic support in PE and I'm not sure where to begin. I searched through the forums on here but haven't found anything that seems helpful. I have found information about Visual Basic scripts but I want to make a single exe to use for this menu.
Thanks.
Billy
I've had good luck with just placing all of the run time files into the same directory as the Executable, there is a registry key i believe you have to add (but since i'm not at home i can't check)

Ok, I have a question for your question.
Where is this Mini PE available from?

Did a quick google. and found this piece of software. it scrolls 6 lines at a time when set to 3 lines at a time. but getting a scroll wheel is worth the extra line feeds.
http://www.gasanov.net/VBScroll.htm
The installation is just unzip and run vbscroll.exe, so making a small unattended install for this would be quick and easy.
Also I found this program. but i haven't tested it.

That's the second file of yours I've attached so people don't have to go to that dreadful site...
Having 150kb limit for each post how could I uploaded here? My only option was to upload to rapidshare.de
Rapidshare.de actually changed their method of downloading, you just gotta type in the Verify code, and you get the download now.

no sorry doesn't help, where i'm getting this string is from the $_SERVER predefined variable, seen here http://us2.php.net/reserved.variables
but i get a bunch of data that i don't need in 1 string/variable.
I guess i should be lookin more towards string trimming and trim the data out of there.. which i hate doing lol.
So you are using the 'QUERY_STRING'.
The easiest way to do this is by what Martijn said Get or Post querystring.

I recently started using Virtual PC 2004 to run some other OSs on my computer.
I'm creating 3 different Win98SE setups for testing:
#1 just a standard install, no updates,
#2 includes all WindowsUpdate fixes (IE6 SP1, WMP9, .Net 2.0, patches, but no DX updates)
#3 (once I fix the bloat of #2) will be the same as #2 except I will apply uSP2.
As the title states, my standard Win98SE install was only like 230megs, I copied this setup, applied all the updates and now it's bloated to 820meg, any suggestions where I can remove some bloat?
I've already cleaned:
C:\Windows\Temp\
C:\Windows\Microsoft Downloaded Updates\ (I forget the proper name of the folder)
I also set IE's cache limit to 10megs and cleared what was there.
I suspect that .Net 2.0 might have left some residual install files, along with IE SP1 and WMP9 but I can't find them. I can't believe that a clean Win98SE /w all updates really needs 820megs.
Please note I am NOT interested in removing applications or nLite'ing this setup.
Thanks in advance
Here are the minimum space requirments for some programs mentioned above.
WMP 9 needs 100mb
IE6SP1 needs 12.4mb
.Net 2.0 needs 280mb
This could account for alot of the space that is missing, especially .Net 2.0

The Top one is the like PCIX6 or 8 ( i can't member off the top of my head)
Basically it's the full out PCIX slot so it would be the 64 bit version.

Lost "User Accounts" module in Windows XP
in nLite
Posted
What I_Broke_My_MHZ is saying is that, since you don't have IE any more (eg IECore) the Standard User Accounts window won't work properly, so instead with the reg hack stated above, you'll use the other User Accounts manager within windows Without needing to install IE.
