Sharepoint 2010 as well installed and looking cool

server 2003 like XP or Vista or 7 can RDP over the internet as long as port 3389 is not blocked by your coprorate firewall, if this is open you should be able to rdp to the machine as long as remote desktop has been enabled. a VPN solution would be safer for what you are looking to do.

this is not possible,

Using the built in firewall have worked very well for me, runs well and easy to manage

the batch file was calling the slmgr.vbs file http://ss64.com/nt/slmgr.html check there for more info on switches you can use to get the info you are looking for

launch a command prompt as an administrator (right click and run as admin) then run your imagex command. most DOS commands won't prompt for elevation.

Nobody an idea? 1. Windows 7 does use an XML file (autounattend.xml) you can edit this file within the WAIK which is free for download from MS 2. You don't have to resysprep your image unless you want to install applications prior to deployment. the WIM file is already sysprepped and ready to go. 3. you will want to use the Default profile for any changes you want to use for any new user to receive. the Default User folder is a redirct (symbolic link) to the default folder.

Luke, You are right, if the client is not in AD, then no GPO to turn on the NAP agents. If that is the case then the machine with be quarantined. The servers that are part of your remediation group will allow those machines to be joined to the domain (you have a RODC there) your DHCP server will still server the client an address, just will only allow routes to the servers in the remediation group. Once there you can join the machine to the domain and it can recieve the GPO. For future use, i would suggest turning on the NAP agents during an unattended build process, that way the GPO is only a fail back incase someone tries to turn of the agents.
