When I mounted the hive on my image, I had both ControlSet001 and ControlSet002. I will update the keys for both locations and see if it works. Thanks for the help!

I need to make a registry change in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet. When I mount the image with DISM and mount the System hive, I do not see CurrentControlSet. This is the command I used to mount the registry hive: reg load HKLM\test c:\mount\windows\system32\config\system I see folders contained in the hive, but not the one I need. Is this folder unable to be edited in offline mode?

Its good to know you want to follow the rules, but why stop there? The reason about the CopyProfile option is because it is not supported. Alas, only an Authorized Replicator (AR) is allowed to create Windows install media. So does this mean I can't create this for my customer?

I have sysprep's a Windows 7 image where I set CopyProfile=True. I placed this unattend.xml file in my sysprep folder, and ran the regular sysprep command: sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown /unattend:unattend.xml. I have been deploying the image via imagex /apply image.wim 1 C: My customer would like a copy of the image so he can install Windows on the rest of his machines, however, I think using imagex would confuse him. I'd like to copy my image.wim file to a regular Windows 7 install media (and rename it to install.wim), and put my unattend.xml on the root of it so he doesn't have to answer any of the questions. My question is, after some reading on MS's website, it seems since I used CopyProfile=True in my sysprep unattend.xml, I cannot include that on a Windows 7 install media. Would I be able to use my current unattend.xml file and just delete the CopyProfile part from it? I have already filled in the WinPE section so all he should have to do is select the hard drive then install--he shouldn't to enter in any more information. I just don't want to screw up the install. Thanks!

That worked perfectly. Thanks!

The policy I need to change: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Installatioin > Allow remote access to the Plug and Play interface: Enabled.

I've been working on a Windows 7 image for the past few days, getting it up to par with our needs and requirements. After I did all the work, I just remembered I needed to set a local group policy. Is there a way I can do this without having to re-sysprep and re-image the entire system again? Maybe through DISM or unattend.xml? Thanks!

I ended up putting a vbs file in the user's programs startup folder that will enable it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947709

I'm building an unattended install of Windows 7 Pro. How can I enable Network Discovery and File and Printer Sharing? Whenever I enable them then sysprep the install, the settings are never saved. Thanks!

After playing with it, it turns out I needed to use the ALL folder instead of the Win7 folder. DISM was able to import that folder without any problems. Thanks again for your help!

Hi. I didn't write the command correctly in my post--I did use the same command that you included. dism /Image:C:\winimg /Add-Driver /Driver:C:\drivers\Chipset /Recurse I'm downloading the chipset drivers from here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=816&DwnldID=20018〈=eng&iid=dc_rss This is a x86 install of Windows 7. So I only used the Windows 7 folder from the download. I was assuming that was the correct download.

I'm trying to add Intel chipset drivers to a Windows 7 image (.wim file). I downloaded the Intel INF Update Utility zip package. I'm using the following command: dism /Image:C:\winimg /Add-Driver:C:\drivers\Chipset /Recurse I was able to add some Broadcom network drivers without any problems, but when I try to add the chipset drivers, I get this error: "Error - An error occurred. The driver package could not be installed. For more information, check for log files in the <windir>\inf folder of the target image." Here's an excerpt from the log file: >>> [Import Driver Package - c:\drivers\Chipset\tcrkusb.inf] >>> Section start 2011/05/06 14:04:54.454 os: Version = 6.1.7601, Service Pack = 1.0, Suite = 0x0100, ProductType = 1, Architecture = x86 cmd: C:\Users\b2pra\AppData\Local\Temp\56E388AA-F02D-4187-BB45-50C56E7C41D4\dismhost.exe {11D7C1E2-233E-4FF8-A893-3559C2D292E3} sto: Importing driver package into Driver Store: sto: Driver Store = C:\winimg\Windows\System32\DriverStore (Offline | 6.1.7601) sto: Driver Package = c:\drivers\Chipset\tcrkusb.inf sto: Architecture = x86 sto: Locale Name = neutral sto: Flags = 0x00000000 inf: Opened INF: 'c:\drivers\Chipset\tcrkusb.inf' ([strings]) inf: Opened INF: 'C:\winimg\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbport.inf_x86_neutral_f9abf85fd00186bd\usbport.inf' ([strings.0409]) inf: Opened INF: 'c:\drivers\Chipset\tcrkusb.inf' ([strings]) sto: Importing driver package files: sto: Source Path = c:\drivers\Chipset sto: Destination Path = C:\winimg\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\tcrkusb.inf_x86_neutral_7736aa821aa7f9cc flq: {FILE_QUEUE_COPY} flq: CopyStyle - 0x00000000 flq: SourceRootPath - 'c:\drivers\Chipset' flq: SourceFilename - 'tcrkusb.cat' flq: TargetDirectory- 'C:\winimg\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\tcrkusb.inf_x86_neutral_7736aa821aa7f9cc' flq: {FILE_QUEUE_COPY exit(0x00000000)} flq: {FILE_QUEUE_COPY} flq: CopyStyle - 0x00000000 flq: SourceRootPath - 'c:\drivers\Chipset' flq: SourceFilename - 'tcrkusb.inf' flq: TargetDirectory- 'C:\winimg\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\tcrkusb.inf_x86_neutral_7736aa821aa7f9cc' flq: {FILE_QUEUE_COPY exit(0x00000000)} flq: {_commit_file_queue} flq: CommitQ DelNodes=0 RenNodes=0 CopyNodes=2 flq: {_commit_copy_subqueue} flq: subqueue count=2 flq: source media: flq: SourcePath - [c:\drivers\Chipset] flq: SourceFile - [tcrkusb.cat] flq: Flags - 0x00000000 flq: {_commit_copyfile} flq: CopyFile: 'c:\drivers\Chipset\tcrkusb.cat' flq: to: 'C:\winimg\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\tcrkusb.inf_x86_neutral_7736aa821aa7f9cc\SET7554.tmp' !!! flq: CopyFile: FAILED! !!! flq: Error 5: Access is denied. !!! flq: Error installing file (0x00000005) !!! flq: Error 5: Access is denied. ! flq: SourceFile - 'c:\drivers\Chipset\tcrkusb.cat' flq: TempFile - 'C:\winimg\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\tcrkusb.inf_x86_neutral_7736aa821aa7f9cc\SET7554.tmp' ! flq: TargetFile - 'C:\winimg\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\tcrkusb.inf_x86_neutral_7736aa821aa7f9cc\tcrkusb.cat' flq: {SPFQNOTIFY_COPYERROR} !!! sto: Failed to copy file 'c:\drivers\Chipset\tcrkusb.cat' to 'C:\winimg\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\tcrkusb.inf_x86_neutral_7736aa821aa7f9cc\tcrkusb.cat'.

thanks for your reply! after another 30 minutes of googling, i finally found it. the web address of what i was looking for is: http://www.autopatcher.com/ i already knew about ryans update pack. i use it for personal things but i needed this to handout to clients who only have a windows xp cd (purchased from microsoft) and want to update their workstations without having to redownload everything. thanks again for your help!

hi. i am new here and i don't know if anybody will know the answer but i'll give it a shot. i was browsing the internet one day and ran across a site which provides a downloadable cd of all the latest security updates from microsoft. i cannot for the life of me remember what the name of it was. the whole point was to have all the updates on a cd and not have to worry about downloading all of them. any help will be greatly appreciated.
