kickarse

I'll post version 0.4 tomorrow which works with Windows XP Tablet...

So after a lot of searching in the forums and with Google I've come up with, pieced from various sources and mostly rewritten, an AutoIT script that will automatically configure your wireless connection. Configures: - SSID Association - Authentication Types - Open, Shared, WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK - Encryption Types - WEP, TKIP, AES or Disabled - Key Insertions - Provided Key or Manual Insertion. Pre-Requisites: - Windows Update KB917021 v3 - Wireless Client Update Settings supplied by the accompanied INI file. ---- If you download the app POST and let me know if it works! http://www.nerges.net/autowifi

3com or realtek seem to work the best...

By default Vista has CTCP turned off and Server 2008 turned on By turning this option on it can increase thorough put by aggressively increasing the send window... http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community...guy/cg1105.mspx

That's classic! Sorry siginet I don't have it.

I'll try that out soon. Thanks! ed. Yeah the device paths are in there properly. I'm guessing that it's trying to search for the entire HW_ID string in the INF and it's not finding it because these inf's can be very general.

Are we suppose to do anything during the action "Install Missing Drivers"?? Because the found new hardware window isn't suppressed and when I click cancel it cancels everything for installing that hardware (pro-s still open btw). When I click find drivers automatically, it can't find them and closes out of the hardware wizard. And when I re-run pro-s it can't find that piece of hardware (maybe it's set to off now??) anymore. Once I restart the computer and run pro-s again it can enumerate just fine. If I use my install script it works. Weird... The program that he was talking about I think is from here... Called SetDevicePath.exe http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/35/

Okay I'll try it out on Monday! Thanks!

I have my path to relative my drivers are in this heirarchy: C:\D\1_0_Fuj\Video\Video.inf It keeps telling me that there are no archives in C:\d even thought I have set in the XML file to that I do not have compressed drivers. Also while it's scanning it tells me that it's found the drivers directory in C:\D. Is there something off? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <settings> <basic_configuration> <choice>manual</choice> <drivers> <drivers_drive>RELATIVE</drivers_drive> <drivers_directory>\D</drivers_directory> <drivers_packed>No</drivers_packed> <drivers_copy>No</drivers_copy> <drivers_copy_path>C:\DriversTest</drivers_copy_path> <drivers_copy_delete>No</drivers_copy_delete> <options> <method>RegistryDevicePath</method> <registry_path>Begin</registry_path> <problem_ids></problem_ids> <update_all>No</update_all> <plug_and_play> <option>Internal</option> <time_to_wait>15</time_to_wait> </plug_and_play> <shutdown> <auto_reboot_when_nessecary>No</auto_reboot_when_nessecary> <auto_reboot_when_done>No</auto_reboot_when_done> <auto_login>No</auto_login> <notify_when_done>No</notify_when_done> </shutdown> <time_to_run>0</time_to_run> <force_run>No</force_run> <device_manager>No</device_manager> </options> </drivers> <log> <log_overwrite>No</log_overwrite> <log_to_file>Yes</log_to_file> <log_filename>hardware.log</log_filename> <log_path>$ProgramDir</log_path> <log_option>Simple</log_option> </log> <gui> <hide_legacy_devices>No</hide_legacy_devices> <fade_in_effect>No</fade_in_effect> </gui> </basic_configuration> </settings>

I'm using WMI call (more then one actually) to get all devices and all their problem ids. I'm still using devcon to remove devices. Just to mention "configuration window is left not disabled" but it doesn't work realy I'll be trying to work to get this program better just need some confirmations current code works What is the "configuration window is left not disabled? Also it might be good to comment in the XML what each thing does... <!-- Comments look like this -->

Excellent! I'll try it out tomorrow! Are you still using that code to enumerate/install all hardware?

If you need a mirror let me know. Also I can do some tests for you, again.

Make sure WINS-R and WINS are setup properly. Shortname is a NetBios/WINS resolution (network browser).

The workstations will automatically assume the extra name. When I join to our domain I put in just DOMAIN and then once it's connected it says DOMAIN.local. Make sure DHCP is supplying the proper domain too!

Any updates to this project?

Nice how-to! I'm going to try it out today!

We use Disk Keeper, which works well enough.

The answer is NO, you have to download the whole package.

Sysprep has a section to add where the mass storage driver lives according to their ID... So one of my lines is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DF=C:\D_I\ich7ide.inf I'll check through the INF though...

Sorry dude but since HP went bloatware that's about all you can do.

Is there a list of Hardware ID's that this INF supports so I can import that into my sysprep ini file?

Anytime! I'm just happy it's working! I'll get to testing!

I can't wait! Thanks for all the hard work btw!

Try this out guys... Using WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe and Vernalex Sysprep Driver Scanner I've been able to come up with a batch script to do something similar to your program. Make sure that they are all in the same directory. I used c:\d for the drivers locations (bashrats driverpacks). Basically it turn off Driver Signing using Pyrons method, then imports drivers into the registry, then start Device Manager so you can see what's happening, then it starts the install of the devices. Once install finishes it closes out WatchDriverSigningPolicy and the Device Manager (mmc.exe). @ECHO OFF ECHO Setting Driver Signing Policy to OFF START WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe ECHO Importing Drivers to Registry START /WAIT spdrvscn /p c:\D /e inf /d %windir%\inf /a /s /q ECHO Starting Driver Manager START devmgmt.msc ECHO Starting Install of Hardware START /WAIT RunDll32.exe Syssetup.dll,UpdatePnpDeviceDrivers taskkill /f /im WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe taskkill /f /im mmc.exe
