Hello All Does anyone know if there is a RIS key to remove the following Windows Components: MSN Explorer Outlook Express Windows Messenger Cheers Andrew Parker

Once you've woken the PC up, what do you want to do with it, install software? Cheers

Hi Take a look at this... Webpage You need to be able to script. Cheers

Cheers for that you're most helpful! I'll give it a go tomorrow... Thanks again. Andrew

Hello Has anyone got NIC drivers for an Inspiron 8600 that work with RIS, unfortunatley the Broadcom and Dell one's aren't working for me... Windows reports the card as a Broadcom 440x Cheers Andrew

Thanks for your help... I was logging into CIW as Domain Admin (2000 AD) to test it, it appears that you dont have to prestage PC's for Domain Admin, which makes sense... Logging in as a 'normal' Domain User produces an error if the PC hasn't been prestaged. So I guess its working correctly as a user cant start the install unless the PC is already in AD or has been prestaged. I've also restircted the SIF files and this works nicely... Cheers

Hi All My RIS test server has been working fine, I turned on prestaging, it still works fine however it doesn't stop non prestaged clients...! I have been deleting the computer account and restating the ris service before I attempt the rebuild, I was expecting not to be able to download an image however it still does allow it. All I can think of is that once a PC has been connected to the domain, AD remembers the GUID even if the Computer Account no longer exists, and therefore allows the rebuild. Any thoughts? Cheers

This looks really good, where can I get a copy? The previous links aren't working anymore... Cheers

Hi I think you could package your fonts up into an msi, then publish this with a GPO so that the users could install the package from Add Remove Programs using the Add New Programs Button, or if you could force it on them at login which would be even easier... msi creator: wininstall Cheers

Hi How about WSUS... "A recent survey of 1,700 readers of Windows IT Pro Magazine revealed that Windows Server Update Services won first place in the Patch Management product category for the 2005 Windows IT Pro Readers' Choice Awards." http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversyst...es/default.mspx Cheers

Hello I've noticed RIS sets the Install Location in the registry to point to the RIS server, therefore unless you call your new server the same name you might want to change this registry entry on the PC's which have already been built. Cheers
