Well, [sysprepcleanup] is automatically generated by the BuildMassStorageSection=Yes. And if you are talking about sysprep -clean in your commandlines.txt in the \Sysprep\$OEM$, I knew of that already. I guess the reason for my asking is I have heard some skepticism over the line in sysprep and I really need other people’s opinions. If in the end it is going to end up hurting me, which it doesn't look like the case, I'll take it out, but if this isn't the case I would like to know that as well. I'm just in search of the truth.

Hello all I have just recently discovered the wonders of: [Sysprep] BuildMassStorageSection=Yes And I was wondering if there were any CONS to using this. It seems to solve alot of issues with imaging on multiple hardware sets : , but I didn't know if it would hurt me in the long run . Please anyone and every one answer as I need every ones experience with this. Thanks!

.au3 is AutoIT3 Google it.

Sure you can disable it remotely. I wrote a script to do it for you using auto it: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=52865 Have fun!!!

No reason to stop ICS unless the remote registry is being blocked by the firewall. By stopping the ICS all together you disable both the firewall and internet connection sharing. :-) Besides the point of the script wasn't to stop the firewall all together but just to disable it. Hope this helps.

I posted my topic in the wrong place but here is the link: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=52865 Sorry about the post in the wrong stop. Enjoy! The link will send to a MSFN page with my autoit3 code. If you don't want to use Autoit3 to compile the code all you have to do is check the array statements along with the while i = 1 loop and you can figure out how to do it by hand. Okay...Enjoy!

I am removing this post here and moving it to its new location: AutoIt Forums

So I guess everything worked out end the end. Well I'm happy for you!!!!

So are you booting from RIS or CD?

If you have the drivers copied correctly do the following On the RIS server: 1. Click Start 2. Click run 3. Type in cmd 4. click ok 5. net stop binlsvc 6. net start binlsvc If your not using RIS: Try using the drvinst command.

Wraith, just think... If you made your application id*** proof only idiots would use it, and that’s not the case at all! Your application attracts smart intelligent people who respect the hard work and effort put in to XPlode. I for one have not had the chance to use your application but I really can't wait. I'm to the point of being excited about this release. And because of my enthusiasm I am going to request if I could be put on some type of list for notification. Even though I haven't had the opportunity to use XPlode I look forward to the next release. Good luck and Godspeed on your mission for accomplishment.

Okay so you are able to PXE boot and put in your UserID and Password... Then WindowsPE starts to inspect your hardware and then you get the error message? What version of Windows Server are you using? 2000/2003? What type of Network Card is it? Broadcom, 3com, Netgear.....

Here is a question for you: What is the network driver? I have seen all sorts of issues now with incorrectly written drivers.... When you are creating the image why are you using /NOWF and /PNP? MKIMG.CMD ..\XP_SP2 C:\MININT /NOWF /PNP If the only hardware you need installed is the network card then you are calling for that installation on your startnet.cmd: regsvr32 /s netcfgx.dll factory -minint

@der-shao I had the exact same issues you are having except with a BroadCom Network Card. The issues isn't really with PXE or RIS but with the BINL. Strange enough the Driver was written incorrectly for the BINL and had to be edited and then the BINL service had to be restarted. If you could please confirm that PXE is working and explain when you loose connectivity or error out that would be great. Also, if it makes you feel better when I had the same issue I went threw the same process and got just as big of a head ache as you but when you get it working you are on top of the world. As said before you may have to edit that driver. If you like I can give you a few links to how I fixed my issue. To answer your other questions I do boot WinPE from RIS and use Ghost32.exe to image PC's. Also I have been able to ghost SATA drives, but I can't answer your last question.... Thanks!

@duomenox Can't you just slipstream SP2 into whatever disc you have now? C:\Path-To-ServicePack\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe -s:C:\CD-Source-Files-Directory\ Hope this helps.

This is going to sound rather lame, but did you edit your startnet.cmd file to remove the factory.exe -winpe? You said you were running in minint mode and I didn't know if you were talking about factory.exe -minint or if you were more along the lines of /minint from a RIS server. Let me know!

Are you talking about Windows PE and if so what version with what OS and SP or Barts PE with what version with what OS and SP?

Here is the issue.... You are not starting the a service you need, the lmhosts. Just add: net start lmhosts to your script and it will work great!!!! Good luck and let me know how it goes...
