I've used nLite 1.4.5 to strink my Windows 2003 SP1 down making sure not to remove anything that would cause problems with installing Excel 2003 afterwards. Unfortauntely I'm getting this error: Can someone tell me what is required (components) in Windows to allow ODBC\ Excel 2003 to install and work? I've made sure MDAC is installed\reinstalled and if I use a FULL Windows 2003 Server CD it works fine. Help! Tony

I am PXE booting a server and booting it into a WinPE image using Microsoft Automated Deployment Services. When the server is connected to the ADS server I run a sequence which sets the disk array and then runs diskpart to create the partitions. Unfortunately Diskpart is only showing the first of the 3 logical partitions that I create using the cpqacuxe utility. I've tried restarting the Logical Disk Manager service and running a diskpart rescan but nothing helps. Has anyone had any luck with this? Thanks Tony

As a post build step I remove a load of icons from the desktop. I'd like to set the desktop icons to auto arrange to tidy this up. Does anyone know the reg keys? Thanks Tony

I seem to have come across a really annoying problem which I've searched the WHOLE web for and can't find the solution. After installing Windows 2003 Server there is a shortcut to "Manage Your Server" in the Pinned Program List. Whilst it's VERY easy to right click and remove this (which is what I want) I can't find a way of doing it automatically during the unattended setup or even as a runonce. I've tried regmon.exe but nothing seems to obviously set this. Does anyone have any ideas for this? Thanks Tony
