Hi, We run the XP deployment using WinPE and Altiris DS 6.1. What you will have to do is run a simple batch file that installs the AClient again ithin the WinPE session so that the machine can report back to the DS console. This has to be done as the machine changes not only the name during the WinPE session but also the drive letter of the local hard disk. Once the AClient is installed from within the WinPE environment, all further steps can be run/controlled from DS end. Cheers, Biji

Hi all, I encounter serious issues after applying the MS05-051 patch to clients running WinXP SP2. The behaviour is that users can logon but only see the plain desktop, say the wallpaper and nothing else. If I logon with an administrative account, I have the same behaviour but can see that an installation is being finished after the patch has been applied and the client was rebooted. I used only the parameters /quiet /passive /norestart to apply it. Anyone who came across similar behaviour? Thanks, Biji
