I only meant it is for WDS as he wants to do. I have never done but company I work for use it on same Dell systems. Edit: same XP Dell machines

yes you can use .wim for XP. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserversetup/thread/6bba2f92-de57-49ce-9bb3-2fdcfea494b5/

Till next update add to Appswitch.dat in section [Vista_Hotfixes] windowsupdateagent30-7.4.7600.229-x64.exe=" /quiet /norestart" dotNetFx40_Client_x86_x64.exe=" /q /norestart"

All that happens to me when I run Audit so instead I have switched to using either Setupcomplete.cmd or Firstlogoncommands to do some of these things. I have not seen where you can do this with xml I copy my Start items during Firstlogoncommands Far as user picture I copy my bmp to 2 places on mounted wim \ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp \ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures\usertile0.bmp Also run my tweaks at Firstlogoncommands and might require a reboot to get them applied to HKLM

Added some nice .wmv and .mpg dreamscenes in my download folder. Look in Dreamscene folder You have a good one, give me a link.

I have seen myself error in xml doing this Try Unplug all your extra USB devices, printer/scanner, any external USB drives as well. I have a plain jane usb 20gb I leave in with my xml and no problems Do full formats of target drive If you running from a burned dvd then make sure you burn at 4x

'Se7en_UA.exe 6.4.4: October 18, 2010, 7:55:08 AM ' Added Modified themeui.dll, uxtheme.dll, themeservice.dll at Modded Files ' Added processing of .exe from REGadd folder. .exe must be silent type like autoit ' Added more tweaks and fix some that were wrong. Includes the elusive tweak 'Disable Windows Startup sound' I found sucess doing this at Firstlogoncommands on my 64 bit.

Found this little app makes dreamscene work on X86 or 64 bits http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-7-dreamscene-activator-released Download and Run the tool as Administrator. In case you get an unhandled exception error, simply click on Continue. Next, click Enable DreamScene. Once Installed just right click a .mpg & .wmv video formats and Set as Wallpaper Now to figure out how to make it Unattended

Agent Ransack - Free File Search X86 or 64 bits This thing is fast and sweet.

with date of 3-22-10 perhaps they were not complete at that time. I was using my program to do it and extracted that maybe need a cmd to delete existing first or elevate the cmd prompt

yes thats where its needed

You can install anything to any account in Audit like I done with my application. Then sysprep.exe /oobe /reboot /unattend:%DVDroot%\OOBEAudit.xml Thats a 2nd xml I create to run in oobe. But not really worth the effort, I only done as a 'yes you can do it thing' Setupcomplete the gui is not loaded yet but I run the exe Windows updates from there. Look at the first xml from above You can add <Firstlogoncommands> to oobeSystem and run a runoncex style .cmd file to install applications. More here on that

MAK key add in in specialize not in winpe

yes but you will set it up to logon as that user in oobe like posted here EDIT: You really don't need to do audit, it is intended for oem's do add some stuff then sysprep shutdown and image a PC. It works but not needed

try this in specialize pass which is only place you can use <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <ComputerName></ComputerName> </component> Edit: no it say blank it will generate a name

I have used them as above and is working on a UA and will work anyways. Better yet my hard drive no longer thrashing off/on setting these to 120 minutes. Now if I could get it to quit spinning up dvd when I open explorer be a good thing.

I simply just run at Firstlogoncommands and when desk loads I have to close the theme window but it works REM .themepack CMD /C start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Se7en_UA.themepack

you do Se7en with an .xml instead of .sif Vlite is history, if you want to remove stuff look at RT Seven Lite If you want to add applications silently then look at mine

really don't see that. I run and add many applications and apply settings with RunOnceEx including regedit /s since early XP. I'm running 64 bit now for 6 months and no change but I've adjusted to look at both sides of the registry with my Jump2reg program Strange what your saying it apply and then disappear.

myselfidem got the new French translated and many thanks to him for that 'Se7en_UA.exe 6.4.3: October 06, 2010, 7:49:47 AM ' Added tweaks for IE9 and Recycle Bin ' Fixed right click Boot.wim 2 Mount R/W found by jbm These are the nice tweaks for IE9 makes it much better

Ooops I'll get it fixed

long discussion on it you will need %userprofile% in that

User is not created till after login or after OOBE pass. You can do that with <FirstLogonCommands> $1 <<- Drive Root Drivers <<- where some OEM place driver files Install <<- where I place most things and call from there. EX: %SystemRoot%\Install\Firstlog.cmd

I no longer watch this post as it was moved from Unattended Windows 7. You can post in my own sticky over here.
