why not just call a script to ping your DHCP server..... rem @echo off REM REM This is the first Script called from Startnet.cmd stub in the WinPE REM REM Make sure that the network is fully started... Sometimes it requires a bit of time :REPEAT1 ipconfig ipconfig ipconfig ipconfig ping 10.7.86.15 if errorlevel 1 GOTO REPEAT1 rem @echo off REM This will just loop until you get an address.

Geezery, Yes sorry an filepath dropdown list would be nice for the browse to... beware that vista acts a little bit different to code than in xp for some reason.

Hopefully they will release a new scripting toolkit for these. However I better test to see if the toolkit can work ok with these drivers.

Many Thanks for the reply rootworm. I am taking this into work for how i put this nicly ah yeah our resident code geek to have a look. He prob tell me I am being a biff or something. again many thanks and I will post back with my findings

@Geezery sorry I mean't an apply button I know you list the wims from a location you set in the script but another apply button would be heplfull to browse to a network share or USB Drive. That way you cover all base's and add extras in later. I like the colour scheme as well just make it translucent to make it look like vista aero

hi, I have this bit of vb code... Private Sub MountB_Click() MountPath.Text = GetFolder(Me.hWnd, "ÇëÑ¡Ôñ WIM ¾µÏñ¹ÒÔصÄĿ¼") End Sub and it does not seem to work properly within vista pe winpe 2. Works fine in XP and 2003 but just opens an blank explorer window. I am new to all the vb thing so please be gentle the last bit is in chinese PAR

Luke I get this set up on my rig tomorrows and then let you know if this works for me.

Nice, just did a quick test... A option to run chkdsk if you want to. would be nice. A option to save your wim to your letter choice "open save as" explorer, just in case you have a mapped network drive or USB Drive. just for completeness an Icon for just Capture would be nice, I know you have append but a spearate icon for capture would come in handy. The ability to copy SWM files to a temp location on the computer then apply the image and delete after. lol Nice work!

I have some open source code however some of the words are in chinese now I can not display chinese on my computer.. can i just somehow find out the unicode for these words then I can google the meaning is this possiable?

I personally don't think chkdsk should be there.. A you can do it before you load into winpe. B You're then be trying to make it into a repair and backup solution which is what WinRE is really. @Geezery I have being doing some test's on spilt wim files and tried out the spanned media option for in the WAIK using the Vista as a source and this somehow copys over each SWM file required to the drive (After you cut your drive up) asking for cd on the way. adding this feature would be very handy for those that do not have dvd's and machine that take an age to boot by USB. I am not sure how you would be able to assign the cd rom letter so it gets the same one all the time.

I have spanned the installation media accross 4 CD's and would like to know how Winpe asks for each CD for the install.wim which has been split accross 4 CD's, at the file copy phase it ask's for each CD in turn, it then ask's for the first CD once it has copied all the SWM files to the drive. Depending on what partions you have etc can change the cd rom letter so my question is how does winpe vista handle this?

at a guess I would think ... /q quiet mode /n do not backup files for removal /z no restart.

two second google search.... Windows XP/Server 2003 - List of Locale IDs, Input Locale, and Language Collection 0809:00000809

hi, couple of questions... What version of winpe are you using? what source did you use for winpe? what version of the Intergrated Lights Out do you have (For other people to understand this ilo is hp Hardware item on the motherboard of the server you can use it as a virtual console, u can also use the media redirect function) Have you enbled the adavanced pack?

Luke have you tried using the wds wizard to capture as a starter point. Is your RPC, Net time etc working ok?

geezery, just testing your script out it would be really really handy to have a browse dropdown list for the capture and append buttons.

Geezery, for the background how about the vista one with an option of adding your own company logo (like oem.bmp) then anyone can add their own in you could even add a support button with info and docs.

Are you running this on a Windows 2003 R2 machine? dont forget that certain services are locked down more. Have you enabled all your options in wds? listen on port 67 etc. what mode are you in for wds? Are you using the wds image capture wizard? fogive me if I am teaching you to suck eggs just need to know your setup

You may want to have a look at this autoit script... Autoit Script GUI for Imagex this works ok but I like your one more as I can actually follow it at least.

A option to include a format if its required would be nice maybe just a tick box. I can put this in but would be nice to be in your script as this would help loads of people that are not to good at scripting. An option to split across cd's would be nice (Only joking I still looking into this and really what to use your script when I work it out) again many thanks for this! it's people like yourself that really help other people out.

thats the problem it does not idle it goes thru the whole process till it hits 100% for the cd even tho that it only has one Install.swn

I am a bit bogge down with work at the moment but rest assured I will not stop untill I hav completed this task I have ideas of using Geezys HTA script. I am also looking into assign a drive letter to a usb stick that never changes, thats going to be fun. everything is possiable its just time and effort.

I be looking forward to it!! Sounds great many thanks

I have finally found out the problem for this. The reg key for the delivery was missing. I copied over my new MST to the orignal location of the Install files for Office 2003 and created a new GPO and this now installs onto machines that have Office XP and Office XP with Outlook 2003.

Hi, I have a XP client that has Office Xp intalled plus publisher. I have a group policy that updates the Outlook XP to 2003 using an AIP (on a DFS Share) using an MST created in the ORK.exe CIW. Now all my users are ready to update to the full Office 2003 Suite, So I have created a new MST to cater for this however My install will not work from either a CD based install or from the AIP. In the log I have... Error 0x80070002 failed to open product's delivery key I have looked this up on google and read the arctile on the MS site about making sure the path reg key exists which it does. I have tried using the listool to delete the cache and used the msi office cleanup tool which none have worked. Has anyone had experience this this sort of thing?
