There is no fooling you need to setup a DC for SMS to point it to, my advice get a VM, or partition your hard disk.

I think it was in the OPK for SP2 in the Readme or in the WinPE.chm

This is stated in the documentation that came with thhe OPK. You will find it in there.

I have mapped network shares fine, built on SP2 with WinPE 2004. I will look more into this today if at all possible.

Also both these ports are associated with Proxy servers.

New WinPE will be available to Sys. Builders soon, seems to fix some errors, also I am thinking back and i had this problem to when running "factory -winpe", I fixed it by utilizing a batch which included this: This uses plug and play to find your network card. //EDIT// Didn't we cover this before and you said you got it working here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=177237

What version of WinPE are you using? Also I searched the MS OEM system builder site here and couldn't find your post. Also have you tried builing your PE image with SP2 or not? //EDIT// Also, do you have physical access to the machine? If so when you type "netcfg -v -s a" does it show your network adapter?

Have you looked through these links? http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=16764 Most importantly the MS forums.

Just remember to specify your dir's into the bold places. HTH

Yes it is setupreg.hiv, if you are working on WinPE 2004 just add a file called winpeshl.ini to your system32 folder with the [AppLaunch] your.exe and it will skip the defaults and load your program. The flash is a little more difficult though.

Are you asking how to do it? Or just stating some information.

Some more links added.

1. If you could keep them compressed, this would be useless due to the amount of time it would take to setup the environment. 2. No

Oh my last answer is retarded, that is for %CDROM% installs. You can try using a batch file to save yourself the hassle of typing mistakes. As asked above, where is the answer fie located?

I ran into this before I believe it is your variables in your answer file.

You can get Pe down to about 86mb, I use Cdimage for all of my builds no problems. As for the boot lag, change the setupreg.hiv in PE1.2, or use a winpeshl.ini in 1.5 to utilize different programs, instead of the comman line.

yes you can, there are a few ways. Which ones are you looking to accomplish?

Here is some more info for you, I don't know if you did this already or not: To start Windows PE from a RIS image On the RIS server, open a command prompt and run RISetup.exe –add. When prompted for a source, point RISetup to your Windows XP product CD. Browse to the location where RISetup installed the image. For example, \\Server_name\Share_name\REMINST\Setup\Language\Images. 1. Open the i386 folder in the folder of the image that you just created. 2. Browse to the CD or network share containing your Windows PE files, and open its i386 folder. 3. Copy the contents of the Windows PE i386 folder into the Remote Install i386 folder that you just opened, overwriting all files if prompted. 4. Open the Templates folder in the i386 folder that you just copied Windows PE into. 5. Open the RIStndrd.sif file in a text editor, and on the line that starts with 6. OSLoadOptions, add the switch /minint. 6. Start a RIS client, and select the operating system image that you created in step 1. Running the Factory Tool in Windows PE The syntax of the Factory tool: factory {-minint | -winpe} Option Action: -minint Uses Plug and Play to install the network interface card (NIC). -winpe Locates a Winbom.ini file and processes these sections in this order: [WinPE.Net] [DiskConfig] [OEMRunOnce] [OEMRun] [WinPE], except for the Restart entry [UpdateSystem] Restart entry in [WinPE] This is in the .chm on the opk disk.

I thought you already had them? *why I asked for the startnet.cmd* Try it and see.

It doesn't display either, also no more "years" either.

The hidden partitions are your system restore files. So on your CD are there the drivers for your hardware? And are you sure Dell doesn't have a function call to a batch file or anything on the disc? Use a program like VPC or VMware to see what actually installs from that disc. Sorry not to much of a help but I am kinda short on info from you. and is I remember corectly the smaller partition (of the 2 hidden) is some info for system, and the larger should be a drive image of some sort. I believe the smaller hidden volume can be mounted with certain disk editing programs, so you may be able to look more indepth. I know someone else uses a Dell here so what are your inputs? As for the warranty if you want to delete the partitions go ahead, they can send you recovery discs if they have to.

Also this is against the rules I believe. So just give the links a shot and then use the forums as a tool. People are going to be more than willing to help you out. //EDIT// Ok so it is not stated in the rules, but still it is a waste of money. So just read up and give it a shot. Feel free to ask.

Have you tried rebuilding the PE iso. I honestly have not had any issues with it I rebuilt mine and it worked fine. What version have you built it with?
