  1. @maxxpsoft It seems you still haven't read the MSDN articles or my quotes from them. That's bul*****. How do you think all these link tracking features that Microsoft describes in their article would be possible without machine specific data in the .lnk file? Do the following: 1. create a shortcut. 2. Open a cmd and type "move <your shortcut>.lnk <your shortcut>.txt" 3. Open it with notepad. You will see your computername and your partitions volume label in cleartext. "It worked for two years for me and many others" is not an argument. Absolutely not.
  2. @maxxpsoft You should have read the link you posted (which was very interesting, btw). http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....ts/shortcut.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fi...identifiers.aspstates the following: and:
  3. Hi! I use the following procedure to automatically setup machines: 1. Boot BartPE ISO via PXE/TFTP 2. Autostart a script that: - runs diskpart and format - runs a little vb app that asks for computername, admin password etc. - runs WPI (patched) to select software to be installed later - writes info to hard disk - runs winnt32.exe from network share to start installation 3. When setup is finished the previously selected software is installed from a network share Right now I'm planning to write a web interface similar to yours to be able to install remote computers fully unattended: 1. Ask for MAC Address, Computername, software to be installed, etc. 2. Write that info to a file named <MAC>.txt on server share to be later read by a script running on the client before starting winnt32.exe 3. Create a PXELinux config file with appropiate options (This makes it possible to have the PXE boot rom enabled on all machines by default. PXELinux will only boot from network if a config file named after the mac of the computer to be installed is present on the server.) If you're not sure if the NIC is detected later when windows is installed you could also copy the apps to hdd before starting winnt32.exe. The advantage of the WinPE method is that you have a 'real' windows system running before installation. No 8.3 problems, no 2/4GB FAT16 limitation, full ntfs write access, etc. etc... Since I'm fairly new to this (I started about 6 weeks ago) I would also like to hear your suggestions...
  4. @lionhrt: I asked when it will be ready, I wouldn't call that bugging. I already use 4.2b right now, but as I mentioned I need the category feature. @kelsenellenelvian: That sounds great. I already downloaded 4.3 (the file is still there) and it does exactly what I need. Oh, and could you comment out the delete desktop links line in wpi.cmd? I'm glad I looked at the wpi.cmd first before I started it, but I guess it cleaned some peoples desktops already
  5. When will 4.3 be finally released? Cause we're interested in the category feature!!! thx
