PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION! THIS EXACT PROBLEM HAS RECENTLY BEEN COVERED!!!!

As far as i can see it does not matter in any way what order the statements are listed.

@Yzöwl: That will not be helpful in this manner. Of course it will make the black box empty, but the black box will still show even though there is no output to it.

Our company used to use software called ScriptLogic for our Windows 2000 clients. We are now moving to WinXP and want to dump ScriptLogic into the ocean Can anyone please give a pointer on what i need to add to the login script for users to automaticly get their Outlook/Exchange account setup correctly? We do not use roaming profiles for various reasons but people do change pcs now and then.

Hi mate, I think RunHidden.vbs can solve your problem. Take a look at: http://www.jsifaq.com/SUBS/tip9300/rh9390.htm This way you could use RunHidden.vbs batch.cmd and it should not even popup the black box.

Very informative! Thank you so much for the link cluberti

You can disable it in the winnt.sif By simply making an empty [SystemRestore] statement [code][SystemRestore] [GUIRunOnce] command1 = "%SystemDrive%\D\BTS_DPs_finish.cmd"[/code] You do NOT need the GUIRunOnce to disable System Restore (its just part of my example).

@Swerver: Yes! You can assign different CD-keys using the MAC-address as the identifier. You could change the script for assigning the computername to call the ChangeVLKeySP1.vbs from Microsoft. cmdow @ /HID ECHO. ECHO Setting correct Windows CD-key ECHO Please wait... for /f "tokens=1" %i IN ("compname /d ?m") do set MAC=%i IF %MAC% == 00D56A632145 WScript.exe //B ChangeVLKeySP1.vbs PUT-CD-KEY-HERE-IN-VALID-FORMAT EXIT I think a good time to run this would be during GuiRunOnce. Of course this requires you put in some random cdkey that the installation allows you to use for the purpose of getting trough the installation to the point where you can change it (using the above script) to the correct one.

I just use this during my GuiRunOnce: copy %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Fonts\*.* %WinDir%\Fonts\ /Y Then put the files into the fonts folder. I guess I could have done it smarter using the $OEM$\$$ folder

*bump bump* Please someone???

You can use this to set the service to manual: reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NAME_OF_SERVICE_HERE /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f NOTE: REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE SERVICE! Afterwards you can use "net start service" or whatever.

@Bunzzing: Thank you very much for your usefull information. This has saved me a TON of time :-) If anyone else is wondering where to get the "netdom.exe" its located in the "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools" package found on http://download.microsoft.com

Have you tried integrating the same driver trough nLite to see if that works?

Good luck

@muiz: I second that!

Just so I understand this correctly: You changed something and now it no longer lists the programs running on the welcome screen?

I spent some time figuring this out so I thought it might be useful to someone else: Example of allowing local exe file: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List] "C:\\Programmer\\software\\Program.exe"="C:\\Programmer\\Software\\Program.exe:*:Enabled:Program" Example of remote (windows share) exe file: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List] "\\\\data-server\\storage\\software\\Program.exe"="\\\\data-server\\storage\\software\\Program.exe:*:Enabled:Program" Example of opening ports: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List] "1900:UDP"="1900:UDP:LocalSubNet:Enabled:@xpsp2res.dll,-22007" "2869:TCP"="2869:TCP:LocalSubNet:Enabled:@xpsp2res.dll,-22008" I wondered if this is supposed to be in regtweaks part 3 but since its not something that you can use without modifying it I decided to post it seperately.

I guess you could try converting your batch script to a .exe file?

I guess this stuff would be nice to have in the unattended guide...

Thank you so much for this utility!

Very nice grafx1 - U got my vote

Most likely it is a router on the ADSL that is causing the problem. One way to find out is to see if the office PC is behind NAT. Otherwise call the ISP to find out what kind of setup your boss bought

Hmm well I dont know what excactly that you are trying to achieve? You could ping the broadcast address of the LAN you are sitting on to see who responds? For e.g.: ping 192.168.1.255
