Nice! Greatly appreciated!

Anyone know which key to modify to change the output of paintdesktopversion? I know how to turn it on or off but not to modify the output to the screen.

I to have had the same issue.

Just a reminder the .dll and compmgmt.exe, along with the erdlogon by thetruth need to be in the %systemroot%\sytem32 folder, due to ERD's reliance on diskpart.

No problem.

Append mshta.exe to it, but make it it's own batch file. ex. mshta.exe <yourdir>\your.hta hth

You can launch it from a batch file

If you use a %variable% in your in your winnt.sif you will have issues in PE. Setup will tell you that you have a invalid script or something along those lines, my way aroud this, granted I didn't really look into it, was to run a batch file that ran after diskpart to copy the needed bathc files to a folder in the C:\drive and then hardcoded them into the Winnt.sif HTH

Did you run the buildoptionalcomonents.vbs? This creates the files you need to enable HTA/ADO/WSH, then you append the line to your startnet.cmd, OC.bat That is it.

Ok I got it to work, I took Sysinternals Process Explorer and ran the ERD compmgmt.exe in windows and realized it relies on Diskpart. So I moved the compmgmt.exe and the associated diskmanagerAPI.DLL to the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 folder along with thetruths ERDlogon.exe and the batch file. Low and behold it works. HTH EDIT added a screenshot of my eventlog. EDIT #2 I just realized my date is off by 4 hours, in the event log of winpe wierd...

How did you get Computer Management working?? **Removed as it doesn't work*** In the pic I was aiming at the I386 folder. But trying to aim it at the Windows Dir doesn't wok, when I get a minute I am going to look into why.

I am answering to the question below, make use of a screwup. Well since I don't load anything at startup, I use the menu when i need the network and scripting etc. It only takes about 30-45 seconds. I find that launching the Batch files after PE starts is great time saver, I mean do you really need HTA/VBS/ADO just for a quick "Crap I locked myself out my local account call?" No and in that case you don't need a network either!

Has anyone conveted these files over? And do you know where to find the info?

Here is my new project for WinPE using BlackBox, some Foood icons and Microsoft's WinPE. This shot is the same as the attached image: http://www.zer0-tec.net/likuidkewl/screen1.jpg My List of ERD tools I use most often http://www.zer0-tec.net/likuidkewl/screen2.jpg And finally computer management with the transparency on the menus http://www.zer0-tec.net/likuidkewl/screen3.jpg Just FYI this was simple and only took about 5-6 hours to get the base image done and ready to roll. I am still refining my Rescue/Install Disc....

Windows Preinstallation Environment from Winhec http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/winpreinst/default.mspx Useful information on WinPE, many PowerPoints and Documents.

It is easy and overed in another post in this forum. I believe SPAWN posted it. I had it working in regular PE as well.

If you have ERD you can use computermanagement and ERD_logon by the Truth.

No, If you use winnt32.exe from inside PE it will pass that phase as for the RamDisk, So you could use it to copy all the batches to a drive after running diskpart. I had so much trouble with this I decided to do a straight clean install and jsut copy the files over. What you need to do is research when the sections of the Unattended.txt get copied over...

Do a Google SEARCH Choose option #2. HTH

In order to fix this issue you need to re do the unattended file, the problem the problem is in the variables used in the guiRunOnce or which ever you use. So what you cold try is to copy the batch files specified to the B: ramdrive, and run them from there. hth

EDIT-- there is a kb article about this somewhere just need to find it, I will look tomorrow. Edit2-- Also try the NET commands to map it.

Dought, simple file sharing sux! And my guess is that all the computers need to be manually rebooted to refresh the settings in the "Master Browser". to disable it look here: http://www.thomas.edu/it/disablemb.asp to find out what it is look here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;EN-US;102878 same for XP just couldn't find the article.

Do all user accounts have passwords?

What happens when you ping each node? Does it reply back as seen or not?

Does anyone have the new OPK with the PE information it? I know it is out there. It should be on the new SP2 OPK disc. I know someone has it. Thanks.
