What version ot WinPE are you using? What drive (letter) are you running altiris and peshuteject from?

What you need to do is create your image to be a Universal or Hardware independent image. The guide I provide does not do this it only provides you with instructions for a free method of capturing and deploying an image. In a way that is more easily readable and understandable to the general masses than the manuals and instructions provided with the WAIK. Do a search of the forums or google for 'universal image' or 'hardware independent image' and check that out. There is a lot of information about it here and elsewhere. If you have further questions about a hardware independent image please start a new topic.

What was your BSOD? Did you sysprep your image and have sysprep add the Mass storage controllers? What are you using for your VM (VPC, VMWare, etc.)? What HAL is installed in your image and what HAL is required for your destination PC?

What OS? How many drivers? Have you collected the all already? Are you wnating to put them directly into the image? Are you using WIM for your image? Need more details.

I've never seen that problem. The only thing I can think of is to turn on 'User Group Policy loopback processing mode' for the GPO. In your GPO look under Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Group Policy Set Uset Group Policy Mode to what makes sense for your setting, in my case Merge works best.

do you have any errors in the event logs in regards to the domain not be reached, gpos timing out etc.?

Restricted users cannot copy into the windows directory. which is why your script is not working. you either need to give them more rights, or run the script as a machine startup script which has runs under the system context.

If you are logged onto the computer as a user with administrator rights and run the script does it work?

shouldn't need to add the doamin computer at all if you are running this as a startup script it runs under the system context. Are there any permission restrictions on the folder you are copying the files from?

that is basically what the utility provided by the link does after performing the suggest ip reset commands it cleans out and restores the stack to default. I have only used that particular version once but it works the same as half a dozen other winsock repair utilities available. And without having to have another working machine on hand. and it obviously fixed his issue:

there are a few DLL's that are needed by vbscript that do not get added when you add VBscript or HTA but are there for the XML package, go figure. I wish I could find the article that had that info in it, probably the only article I have read beginning to end in more than two years.

never looked for any. So I have no idea. the plain boring gray is just fine with me as long as it doesn't say OUTLOOK at the top. Unfortunately my employer is getting ready to switch to exchange. I'll still be able to use thunderbird but I may have to use outlook for the calendar, depends upon how well they implement a web client.

As I didn't see a place to download a demo to see how they package their installers. And it's not some commonly use by the masses application we will need to know what they used to create the installer as Arie said. for help finding out what installer package they used check under 'intermediate users' -> 'applications' on the unattended.msfn.org site, there are examples of what the five biggest installers look like.

ok, the PKG file can also be installed silently with .qn, and to prevent the install of the program neighborhood edit the MSI with ORCA. In the left pane scroll down to 'features' then in the right pane change the value for 'level' to 0 for it not to be installed or even shown if you don't perform a silent install.

If you don't want the program neighborhood why not just install the web client, ica32web.msi, instead of using ica32pkg.msi. The web package already does not install those. Or you could edit the PKG version of the isntaller with ORCA and turn off those components. Then all you need is the /qn switch to install it silently.

What are you trying to install/uninstall?

computername=* in sysprep sets the name to a semi-random name. You should not have to activate windows from a sysprep image if you are using a volume key.

Sysprep

Since that is not my department I'm not sure. but I'll see what I can find out. It works fine if I don't use the script. If I put the proxy address in it stops and asks for authentication, but then they have access to anything, which we don't want. If I use the same server info and use a script to only allow the two desired sites I get no authentication. This only is happening with IE.

Thunderbird. switched from Eudora about 4 years ago and never looked back. Outlook should be thrown over one to never return.

and i agree the TPM chip in the Lenovo's is a pain in the a**. Has caused me no end of trouble. hopefully I won't see your issue. Mine makes it past that point and then I install it from cmdlines.txt using devcon.

ok, so I have a working script, at least for FF. Anyone have any idea what setting I am missing to get IE to prompt for authentication, or use the windows authentication automatically? Once I can get that to work I can be done with this, until next year.

Yes, you see it all the time with Intel video adapters tough those normally will allow the hardware detection phase of mini-setup to complete. but it may well be the same solution. Try http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910678 may help, unfortunately you have to call to get the hotfix, or find it somewhere else online. Or maybe this one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883667. They update the hardware detection DLL file.
