There is that... dont you hate it when you forget of something so simple..lol what is the best tool or way of setting Local Policies as I cannot get an OU created with no polocies applied..

I agree with RogueSpear... I havent been using RIS for long but ive gone with flat images which are automated. The little RIP REP I did took ages & wasnt very succesfull.

Cheers Guys, I can confirm it goes on the install folder names so if you nmae them alphabetically they will list in that order.. It dosent go on the text that is displayed for that install in your sif file..

ok I can use the netdom remove command but how am I going to get the script to automatically put the computer name of the machine im running it on in so it removes itself..? i will want to run this in the runonceEX.cmd or other script following this..

cheers ill give it a go..

right, were should I start.. ive got several installations on ris but one I have as a standalone for machines which will not be connected to my domain as they will be offi site. What im trying to do is do a RIS install from my domain site but have the install joinworkgroup. The problem im having is that as its set to joinworkgroup, on the reboot after installation is complete it loses connection to the RIS server as its not on the domain & therfore loses connection to the answer file. On the reboot I have to manually click on the firewall & other OOBE options. I can see i have two options but I need help. 1. find away of getting it to stay on workgroup but see bits on the network to complete the unattended install. 2. get it to join the domain but a script run after installation is complete so it removes the machine from the domain onto a workgroup & restores machine polocies back to std. what is best & can you givce assistance with the option you mentuion..

ive been told you can do this but how? do you have to call each sif file a psecific name etc.. all help is apreciated..

somone must know the answer...

it depends what you want or how you are installing office 2003 on what you want in your batch file.. for machines which are on my domain i install an administrative install of office which is up to date with SP's & updates. Office2003install.bat for machines that have a local install source of Office 2003 I call an office2003install.bat to install office them a Office2003SP2.bat for service pack 2.Office2003install.bat Office2003SP2.bat RunOnceEX.cmd sits in your $OEM$ folder with the cmdlines.txt i call RRunonceEX.cmd from the cmdlines.txt.Everything you need to know about setting up a RunonceEX.cmd ststem of install is here http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/31/ here is my cleanup.cmd

Hi Guys, the screen were I get my various RIS installs to select from. Can i change the order this titles are displayed? How do i do it? cheers

mine is working now... the file does have to be 7z.exe. i basically grabbed the 7za.exe from my previous version of risult, renamed the file to 7z.exe & put in the new risult file set in bts folder... drivers integrating ok now.

Could it be that in this latest risult its a 7z.exe & in the previous risult i have its a 7za.exe there is an a difference on the exe file names.???

Hi Fencer, I seem to have a problem with the BTS part of the latest risult. I have the base file in the BTS folder & the driver pack files in the Driverpack_store folder.. when I run risult i get the following errors in ythe log. do you know what is causing the problem..?

I use runonceEX.cmdto install my office 2003 & other apps contents of my runonceEX.cmd file

bit of a late reply but all help is apreciated.. any ideas??

ive done the join workgroup in the sif file but setup stops working in the gui mode when machine is seto to go ont a workgroup. If I set it to Joindomain it setup completes fine..

I currently have 3 installs setup in ris for workstation, laptop & standalone. the standalone install i dont want it to join the domain but be able to complete the install via ris. when ive set the sif file to set this on a workgroup the GUI mode of setup fails. how can i get this to work.? i dont want to go on the domain as it will pick up domian polices. The only other way i thought of was to install onto domain & then put the machine on a workgroup after install is complete & remove domain polocies. this is not easy though if domain polocies change.

I found this & it seems to work a treat http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t59504.html

ive got BTS driver packs working on my ris installs.. i used RISult to do this for me... download this & follow the instructions..

has any one got an upto date guide on the process to integrate these into BArt PE..? ive searched the web & there is loads of pages for BTS packs verasion 1 but not for the latests pack.. any information would be apreciated. cheers

Blue Screen normal means your memory is shot.. worst case it could be processor..

ooppss, my mistake.. I think ill have to call a batch file in runonce for it to set the accounts to not expire etc.

right. I done what you said cancerface but it didnt seem to work.. seee if ive got it correct here net user Staff Password /ADD net localgroup "Administrators" /ADD Staff net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited wmic.exe UserAccount Where Name="Student" Set PasswordExpires= FALSE, PasswordChangeable= False net user Student Password /ADD net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited wmic.exe UserAccount Where Name="Staff" Set PasswordExpires= FALSE, PasswordChangeable= False

Were do I need to put the WPI folder for RIS & do i need to edit the wpi.cmd as currently it looks for a CD drive? all information on RIS setup of this would be apreciated.. cheers

from seing your signature it looks like I downloaded lite version which dosent have the manuals.. Geting there in a roundabout way.. ive downloaded full wpi now ill have a read of the manuals..
