[slipstream SP3 into RISSetup]

Hi,

I've a windows 2003 server with RIS/WDS running on it.

It's a flat (image) RIS structure with windows xp sp2, everything is standart.

Now i've been trying to slipstream SP3 with the following command :

C:\sp3\i386\update\update.exe /integrate:D:\RIS\Setup\English\Images\WINDOWS

Unfortunately I'm getting the error msg :

This service pack cannot be integrated into a destination that also has integrate software updates.

Consult the service pack documentation for more detail about supported integration scenarios.

The documentation does not mention what should be done in this case.

In attachement you'll find my RIS tree structure

.

Does anyone have a idee how I could solve the problem ?

Thanks for any feedback

[change wallpaper of the "Unlock computer" screen]

Thanks nmX.Memnoch for understanding my problem ;-)

I mean it should have a way to do it. A new registry key needed ?

[change wallpaper of the "Unlock computer" screen]

You are a funny guy but this isn't really helping.

Any other suggestion ?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it is possible to have a specific wallpaper (company logo for example) while the computer is locked and the screen saver not activated.

Any suggestion ?

thanks for your reply.

[RIS user permission]

Dear all,

I've a RIS setup installation that is working just fine.

I can setup any client I want but with admin right only. Without admin right the user is getting the osc error msg 000004E4F.

On the official microsoft page they say that this is a windows 2000 domain upgrade to 2003 problem. But I don't have any windows 2000 domain, only 2003 (RIS + ADS).

Since I don't want to give admin right to all user for the client setup, i'm looking for a solution rergarding this issue.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks

[IPass Client silent]

Thank you for your reply.

I've been so much looking to get a suitable solution, I finaly found out how I could do with AutoIT.

maybe it will help someone else ;-)

; Script Start - Add your code below here
run ("setup.exe")
winwait("iPassConnect - Setup")
sleep(2000)
Send("!w")
sleep(2000)
ControlCommand("iPassConnect - Setup", "", "Button2", "Check", "")
sleep(1000)
Send("!J")
sleep(1000)
Send("!W")
sleep(100000)
ControlCommand("iPassConnect - Setup", "", "Button1", "UnCheck", "")
sleep(200)
ControlClick("iPassConnect - Setup", "Fertigstellen", "Button4")

[IPass Client silent]

Dear all,

i'm trying to install the IPass client silent

I've tryed with the reponse file .iss but at the licence screen the installer is stopping.

[InstallShield Silent]
Version=v6.00.000

So i've been looking for another way how I could proceed and found AutoIT that could do what I'm looking for.

The bad new is really wired.

The script is working as long as I have autoIT 3 installed on the computer. As soon as I'm installing IPass on a Fresh installation, AutoIT script (compiled) is stoping at the licence and is waiting

Below the AutoIT script

; Script Start - Add your code below here
run ("setup.exe")
winwait("iPassConnect - Setup")
ControlClick("iPassConnect - Setup", "&Weiter", 1,"Button1")
sleep(2000)
ControlClick("iPassConnect - Setup","",1000,"Button2")
sleep(1000)
ControlClick("iPassConnect - Setup","&Ja",6,"Button4")
sleep(2000)
ControlClick("iPassConnect - Setup","&Weiter",1,"Button1")
sleep(100000)
ControlClick("iPassConnect - Setup","",501,"Button1")
sleep(1000)
ControlClick("iPassConnect - Setup","Fertigstellen",1,"Button4")

Does anyone know how to help ?

thank you for your feedback.

[Unattended problem with RIS]

ok, i've justed finished to test with the "EncryptedAdminPassword=NO" but no success.

WinXP still want to log on the domain by default.

I've no problem with login on the domain instead of local but how do I set the sif file correctly to have a autologon (on the domain).

I know that the winlogon info are defined in the registry but at the [GuiRunOnce] stage it's already to late because I would need to login at least 1 time to set th registry correctly.

is their a way to set registry "before" the [GuiRunOnce] stage ?

do anyone have any input to help me ?

Thanks in advance.

David

[Unattended problem with RIS]

ok, thank you for your reply.

i'm now testing if it's working ;-)

[Unattended problem with RIS]

I know this method but this not what I need.

in the sif file you can specify the autologin and this is not working.

Anyone can help ?

[Unattended problem with RIS]

Dear all,

I've set for my company a RIS server and I'm having some difficulties with the ristndrd.sif.¨

I've been looking for days but I couldn't find any solution to solve my problem.

The first problem I have is the autologon. As soon as winXP is trying to login the first time (just after install) login isn't working. I know it's because the system is trying to login with the local account on the domain instead of login local.

Below is my sif file

The second issue isn't really a issue but it's annoying. During the first start, WinXP is starting the activation with the activation sound (I'm using a OEM corporate licence) but doesn't prompt anything and then skip directly to the login. I guess I'm missing something in the sif file.

Any help are very welcome
