Hi Grenky the command used is net localgroup Administrators /add "DOMAIN\username" where DOMAIN is your Domain Name and username is the Domain User this needs to be inserted into your cmdlines or other batch file before runonceex.cmd is run and will then enable this user to be a local admin from the word go. hope this helps!

No problem - Glad to help!

This behaviour normally occurs if you have added a context menu to explorer's right-click function - such as printing a directory etc, more info at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321379 Quoted from MS - Search Companion may start when you double-click a folder instead of the folder being opened. Or, if you have associated other actions with file folders, those actions may be performed instead. To resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Start Registry Editor. 2. Locate the Default value under the following key in the registry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell 3. Click Modify on the Edit menu. 4. In the File data box, type: none 5. Click OK. 6. Quit Registry Editor. Restart your machine and the behaviour should revert to its correct state.

Same here - reports a 'corrupt installation source files' error.

1. SP1 for Windows Server 2003 is still in beta - but you can download Release Candidate 1 from here Although I have had no problems with SP1 - I would not recommend installing on a 'production' server until final release. 2. Exchange Server 2003 (I assume you meant this and not Exchange 2000 as you posted) SP1 should be installed ASAP - it does include many performance updates and fixes especially for Outlook Web Access (OWA) - obtain from here

Oh! The guys @ http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/13849/ were using it about two weeks ago to fix the 52X function.

Try http://dhc014.rpc1.org/indexOEM.htm#S - also has links to many other CD/DVD manufacturers. Site does appear a little slow - but should be fast enough for the small filesizes. Hope this helps..

The easiest way would be to use a Windows XP Pro workstation with two NICs. One connected to the first network and one connected the the second network. Don't worry about DHCP etc - 1. Select both Icons in Network Connections (probably Local Area Connection and Local Area Connection (2)) 2. Right Click and select Bridge these Connections 3. Wait! Can take a few minutes.. 4. You'll get a new Network Connecion called 'Bridged...' 5. Assign a Static IP Address to the TCP/IP properties of the bridged connection using either IP range - this speeds up the boot time of the workstation. et voila! This workstation wll then act as a network bridge. Personally - I would not use this computer for anything else, so you can remove the monitor and keyboard and position it somewhere where it won't get interfered with hope this helps.. Here is a short tutorial with images - http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharin...tworkbridge.htm

Bridges (sometimes called "Transparent bridges") work at OSI model Layer 2. This means they don't know anything about protocols, but just forward data depending on the destination address in the data packet. This address is not the IP address, but the MAC (Media Access Control) address that is unique to each network adapter card. With a Bridge, all your computers are in the same network subnet, so you don't have to worry about not being able to communicate between computers or share an Internet connection. DHCP servers will work fine across Bridges, or if you assign your own IP addresses, you'll use the same first 3 "octets" of the IP address (Example: 192.168.0.X). However, the only data that is allowed to cross the bridge is data that is being sent to a valid address on the other side of the bridge. No valid address, no data across the bridge. Bridges don't require programming. They learn the addresses of the computers connected to them by listening to the data flowing through them. Bridges are very useful for joining networks made of different media types together into larger networks, and keeping network segments free of data that doesn't belong in a particular segment.

@ ripken204 - click here for detailed instructions @ astalavista - Don't get me wrong ezshare is a great free service....its just a little confusing for newbies to wait for 30 seconds (to read the ads).

That's the only problem with ezshare!

You only need one file - MP10Setup.exe

Download mp10setup.exe from ms website - here then add the following lines to your RunOnceEx.cmd (or use the switches for your batch install method if you use that) REG ADD %KEY%\016 /VE /D "Media Player 10" /f REG ADD %KEY%\016 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\WMP10\MP10Setup.exe /q:A /c:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore\"" /f

Here's my unattend command: AR70.msi TRANSFORMS=ar70.mst /passive /norestart applied using the extracted msi/data1.cab from the Basic Adobe Reader 7 and the afore mentioned Transform mst file earlier in this Topic. Note that the /passive switch requires v3 windows installer (as in XPSP2)

@DigeratiPrime: You can always practice your unattended commands/mst by uninstalling Adobe 7 and installing on a working XP using the parameters mentioned. This will 'fine tune' for your Unattended batch or RunOnceEx. This is how I do it. B)

@itdevil - yes that would work and as oldman stated qb- would simply show the progress rather than a complete silent install. Although I'd be inclined to add a /norestart at the end.

@itdevil: nameofmsi.msi TRANSFORMS=nameofmst.MST /qb-

nice one Staples! works a treat!!

I eventually found the article mentioned by Flashcore on The Green Button's Community Forum here ..very interesting reading! Maybe the next challenge B)

It appears as though your OS is not in English - are you saying that it is only Media Player 10 that is Spanish/Portuguese? If it is your OS then you need to make the language adjustments as per my previous post. If it is Media Player 10 - then download the International English version.

For English - make sure your WINNT.SIF (in your i386 Folder on the Unattended CD) has the following lines: [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000809 InputLocale=0809:00000809 then we might understand your error/information message.. (I think it may be the prompt to migrate your media database and/or search your local drives for media.. but I am not 100%)

There are two parts to the Unattended Codec Pack 2.2 - the System32 files, which include a codecreg.reg file and the codecs.cmd codecs.cmd has the following line regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\divxdec.ax for divx521 codecs.cmd controls which codec can be added - and I suppose that by commenting out the Quicktime and Real sections - they will not be included. You can then remove their corresponding sub folders under system32. the codecreg file is also self descriptive - so one should be able to trim this down too. Quicktime and Real media are the main space-hoggers!

FYI - the best codec pack to add to your Unattended can be found here at this topic..go to Page 38 for a working Link This includes CybeLinks codec as well as many other popular formats (DivX, Xvid etc)

After copying CLVSD.ax to your System32 Folder add the following to a batch file: regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\system32\CLVSD.ax to register CyberLinks Video Codec. The above posts merely allow Windows Media Player to play DVD's - but you still need a decoder
