right, After my ris install with ryman & bts packs added the screen res on my dell gx520 changes after first reboot to 1280x1040. It apears to ignor the sif file settings. what is the best tool or method that I could use wiyth runonce to set all display settings the same.. im currently trying this tool http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/v...348f9ef847e722/ Video Resolution Changer is there a better tool or way of doing this task..?

ive tried it your way & other ways but for some reson the runonce dosent like the adition of the transform file.. has anyone mastered this & got it working..

if you put a command in quotes you have to add the "\ & thr / at the end as quoted on this page.. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/v...207307225fe194/ ill give what you have put a go but you need the quotes I put..

Just wat I was looking for... thanks.. this msfn is excerlent.

right. i currently have the following command to install my administrative install of office 2003 with my mst file. (server name has been substituted for now) "\\\server\it$\Software\Office\Office 2003\CD1\setup.exe" TRANSFORMS="\\server\it$\Software\Office\Office 2003\cd1\New Custom Setup File.MST" /qb- i couldnt get this string to run in runonceEx so at present I point to the batch file which then runs this command.. can i get away with running this in the runonceex & what would I need to do with the " to get it to work.. will this work. %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "\"\\\server\it$\Software\Office\Office 2003\CD1\setup.exe" TRANSFORMS="\\server\it$\Software\Office\Office 2003\cd1\New Custom Setup File.MST/" /qb-" /f

right, I want to add a few more of my bits to my XP CD but first I need to make a little room. I have so far removed the support tools. is there anything else I can remove to make space that I dont need. what about value ADD bits.. Ive never installed them before but are they acessed by XP on the install..?

cheers, thats great

Right, Im runnig this script for defragmenting. var Fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var Act = new ActiveXObject("Wscript.Shell"); var Drv, strDrv, s, Defrag, V; V = "\\" Disk() function Disk() {for ( var objEnum = new Enumerator(Fso.drives);!objEnum.atEnd();objEnum.moveNext()) {Drv = objEnum.item() if (Drv.IsReady) {if (Drv.DriveType == "2") Defrag = Act.Popup ("Preparing To Defrag This Drive, " + Drv.Path + V+'\n'+ "Volume Name : " +Drv.VolumeName ,5,"Temp Stop", 0 + 32); Act.Run("Defrag.exe " +Drv.Path+V+ " -F",0,true); }} return;} but it runs silently without a progress bar or anything..

RougeSpear, are they located at C:\AutoRIS\NIC_Drivers on a autoris build or can you give me the location to pick out the nic drivers for RIS? cheers

ill give it ago. i ciurrently call my office install as the path is long pointing to an mst file. the only problem is, is the cmd box stays open till office has completed. This may not be the case for all aplications so ill give it a go..

you also needto delete the temp folder which contains the bts_cleanup.cmd file. I think I will add this cleanup to my cleanup commands in my cleanup.cmd which runs after my runoncex.cmd..

right. the b57*.sys file was in the i386 directory... & no other b57* files... i have now added the inf,dnf & cat files for this driver & its working again. i cant work out how it worked before if these files didnt exist in that directory. i have checked my original souce i386 for RISULT & only the sys file was there so its not the files being deleted. its baffled me how it worked before, id like to find out why it did work & stop but its not to important as its working now.. do you have to manually add the drivers for lan to i386 or should bts extract them to their? or are bts drivers only for windows & not the dos side of the install?

I have one aplication i want to activate through runonceexe.cmd but then want the cmd file to continue to the next command. at present it waits till the current install has completed before moving on. is there a way to get it to move to the next line without waiting..? only want to do this for 1 or two lines not all.. in using the runonceex as explained here.. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/v...d0bbda27204c49/

Another problem.. my build is risult 2.0.4 latest ryan & BTS.. when my machine install s complete C:\D were the bts drivers are held still remains. for some reason the directory is not deleted. it apears as if the guirunonce is not running & the bts cleenup.cmd is not running. any ideas? this is what is put into the sif file when RIsULT runs.. [GUIRunOnce] command9 = "%SystemDrive%\D\BTS_DPs_finish.cmd" command10 = "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\TEMP\BTS_DPs_cleanup.cmd" would a runonceEX.cmd run from cmdlines.txt be effecting these commands running.?

Thanks Guys...

Right Ive red the link & yes its the same problem ive got.. Ryan said he would add the update in 2.0.4 which i am using but I still have the problem. can anyone confirm this update was added to 2.0.4?

Right, I need to add a domain security group to the local admin group on machines & i have been told we cannot do it through AD as it will knock out any other users that have been manually put into the odd machines local admin group. How can I automate the process of adding a domain security group to the local admin group on install? Also, from the runonce i want the defragmenter "mmc dfrg.msc" to open & run a defragmentation. how can i automate this with what switches to set it running.? I know this can run behind the scenes but i need this to run visually. all help is greatly apreciated..

1. You recopied the RIS files to the server but forgot to restart the BINLSVC The files have been there & havent been touched. 1 day it worked the next it complained of this driver issue. 2. You have accidentally deleted/replaced the drivers in the i386 folder of the RIS image and now they are not present/don't work. Havent persoanly delete any but it dosent rule others from doing it.. 3. The RIS build has become corrupted and you need to delete it and recopy the files to the sever again (do you keep a mirror? Possibly Currupt so i have rebuilt with risult & copied back to the server. have restarted the service too. 4. You have added so many drivers to i386 that the client/server connection times out after the BINLSVC has been restarted whilst the server is recompiling the PNF files. Solution is to try again in this case. i havent added drivers but lets hopethe rebuild with risult sorts it.. thanks for your ideas here.. As I said ill rebuild & try & let you know if its working..

Was working the other day but now it starts setup then falls over saying it cannot locate a driver for the network card for a dell GX520. Why all of a sudden would it lose where it got its driver from before..

im using the latest BTS & rymans released this week.

im getting the same plug & play monitor problem as reported by Resonate. I have tried an install on two different pcs Fulji seimens & a Dell GX520 on the same 17" dell tft monitor. The Fuji installs fine & the plug & play for the monitor dosent come up. When I do a ris install now on a gx520 the part to search the web for drivers apears. you can select to not look on the web then force it to search & then it installs plug & play drivers for the monitor. The problem seems to occur on what VGA/Display adapter you have in the PC & not with the actual monitor. The GX520 has an intel display adapter.cannot give details of the exact one at present. Does anyone have a solution to get round this issue as its anoying when you have to put input in on an unattended install..

the guide says Once the above is complete, you should double-click on the DriverPacks BASE self extracting executable to release the files within. You should then execute BTS_DPs_Slipstreamer_Vxxxx.cmd and choose "Method 2". i have chosen method 2 but now do I copy the contents of UWXPCD_ROOT to C:\Unattend\RIS or other directory or do I not run the run_me.cmd at all. this next step is not explaned. anyone have the answer?

this is the one I was angling at... if you could help that would be apreciated. "What is the best way to allow only certain people to log on to a RIS server through PXE booting?"

Not sure if this is the right way to go about things.. currently I am specifying the GUID for a machine to boot to PXE & into RIS. i dont want to have to do this input but want RIS secure so unauthorised people cannot run installs. What is the best way to restrict access to RIS menus from PXE without having to specify a GUID?

Just a copule of questions.. i have set Autoris.ini to copy $oem$ files to server but for some reason its not doing this what could be the cause? the $oem$ folder is in c:\autoris\$oem$ where autoris puts it when autoris is extracted. cheers
