it's because the for loop gets that ip address with a space in front of it and I want to use that ip address with net use and I get something like net use x: \\ 192.168.1.1\test which gives an error. @Yzöwl what is the purpose of delims=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz: ? I removed the [] from @Echo=[%#] because I get ] in front of the ip address. It seems that it works now. thank you.

15 not 12 my mistake.

thank you. both solutions work. but I didn't know the syntax that jaclaz wrote. the other solutions with 2 variables I already use it but I want a way to use just one variable. Also I have a similar problem with something similar Maybe jaclaz can help. for /f "tokens=2* delims=:" %%a in ('ipconfig /all ^| find "DHCP Server"') do set dhcpserver=%%a set dhcpserver=%dhcpserver:~1,12% how to write this on single line? and without using & operator (something to make %%a to use just the first 12 characters)

I have a script for unattended setup and I have a problem. I'm using for command to find the path for software folder and used a variable for this. But, later, in the same script I need just the drive letter. how can I do this without using another for command and to use the same variable? I'm trying to find something like %software_path:~d% but I don't know the correct syntax. can anyone help me? for %%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W) DO if exist %%i:\install_usb.txt set software_path=%%i:\software\ ) rem the echo shoud return just the drive letter using the above variable. but how? echo %software_path:~d%

Since outlook 2007 envelope icon is shown only for inbox and there is no option to activate it for other folders and no setting in rule wizard. this sucks. I searched for a vba script or a plugin but found nothing. Is anyone that has a solution for this? thank you.

Right now I'm stuck with brightstor arcserve. The tapes that need to be cloned were made with brightstor and I believe that I have to use this software if I want to duplicate the tapes. I don't know if other software will be capable to duplicate tapes made with arcserve. I found that hp data protect has this feature and I hope it will be able to duplicate tapes made with arcserve.

which is?

Hello, Is it possible use direct copy from one tape drive to another tape drive?

I have some problems runnning windows 7 unattended. 1. First problem is I can't use DataImage section in unattend.xml without specifying the diskid and partitionid. This sucks because sometimes the diskid specified in answer file is not the same with the physical disk I'm instaling. This happens when there are more hard drives in system. So has anyone found a solution to overcome this problem? 2. the second problem is with drivers. In windows xp we added drivers at T39 using $oem$ and winnt.sif. with windows 7 I didn't find a similar way to do this. This is because I can't use a relative path to specify the path to a wim file. I believe that waik is build with one thing in mind. Install over network. But what about people who start setup from a dvd or external drive? 3. I found out that integrating drivers unsing $WinPEDriver$ or a script to specify the path to a folder with drivers sucks because windows replaces some drivers with the one from that folder. For example I have a driver for the TPM chip but it's for 64 bit systems. Somehow setup deosn't see this and on a 32 bit windows 7 it copies the driver over the good one and then blue screen at some point in the installation. I tried to use the reg key with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\devicepath, but windows 7 doesn't use this in setup.

use version 7.0 for iastor.sys iaStor.zip

can you integrate windows longhorn with this method?

So now theres OCT, MSP and XML. Sorry to have to say this but no, this isn't "more simple" than it used to be. To install Office 2003 silently all you had to do was use this switch: SETUP.EXE TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- Now with Office 2007 we have to mess around with XML files, or is it MSP files, or is it OCT.... next someone will be saying theres another way. i think you don't know what oct and msp are and the difference between xml and msp files and how to create them

but it's much more simple to use OCT instead of config.xml. why they do this? also I suspect that Office 2007 standard doesn't support msp files. is this true?

every evaluation version form microsoft gives me the error from the image I posted . why? is this a feature?

very nice. but why setup tells me that customization file cannot be used? wtf? i tested office 2007 professional, standard, small bussines, all of them are evaluation versions.

why? Because I have a lan and I don't want everybody to connect to the radio station. So I want to use the server to retransmit the station inside the network. It would be nice to let the user choose from some station and also this whole thing to be on demand. I mean the server contacts the station when a user access the playlist. I believe Windows Media Services will do the thing but I can't force it to use a shoutcast stream. So is it possible? I hope its not o wrong forum.

maybe you didn't added those site to trusted sites
