Regarding the thread size, it may be a good idea to put the common questions/answers in the first post of the thread.

Fortunately, I don't think I have any OSes installed in my lightbulbs.

Well what is the BSOD? If you want you can use DISM to get the injected drivers, redirect the output to a text file and then share the text somewhere so we can see it. Don't just paste the text contents in your post.

We are also looking at consumer products being vulnerable to this including routers and potentially consoles like Playstation or Ouya.

Hmmmm well I know of no lolcat coins or lolcat race cars... Yet we have those for loldogs now: http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/blogs/Off-Track/doge-reddit-josh-wise-talladega-superspeedway-aarons-499.html

I don't know the answer exactly (maybe someone else has some ideas) but it may be possible to accomplish this by using a custom shell. Windows default shell is explorer.exe and this value can be changed in the registry to something else. Using a different shell would require someone to write the program that would: 1. Launch browser and go to that URL 2. After submitting form, close browser 3. Launch explorer.exe. I think the difficult task would be to force the user to fill out the form or else they can't access Windows. I am not really a fan of this entire idea... Why not put that URL in a .lnk and put it in the Startup folder? Then the student will see it on logon and have to fill it out. Is the reason why you are going to this length of prohibiting the use of the PC because students are not otherwise filling out this survey? I know that students can be difficult, however it may be better to just have them fill out that form as part of that day's agenda.

I never actually run commands directly from that location, instead I will call a .cmd there. Its hard to tell from your XML format what it could be. Other than Setup tells you that something is wrong. Have you run this XML through validation in WSIM? It could be that your password objects are empty. Do not use empty objects, remove them instead.

You should be fine with any Pentium 2 or 3 PC. I know AMD or Cyrix may be an option but I've never used either of those. I would pick out which video card you want to use, then determine which board you want. Reason being is that if you want to use certain AGP cards, the keying is different. So you wouldn't want to buy an AGP card just to find out it won't fit in the AGP slot in the board/PC you bought. Also consider that if you pick up a used PC that the case it is in may not fit what you want to put in it. This is fine if the board you get is an ATX board as you can get another case fairly easily. I don't know what the market is like for you in Sweden for used PCs.

Is it Driver Magician? http://www.drivermagician.com/screenshot.htm

Use the full post editor to fix your topic title.

Well I don't know what kind of shady MS forums the article's author goes to.

It was always Burger King's tagline, but I suspect most fast food chains would not reject a special order. For example, try ordering a mix-up... such as one of the specialty burger but tell them to use the chicken or fish patties instead. I am not certain what that reaction would be or if they would say they could do it. Or you can just make your own special meal by ordering the plain hamburger and then one of the BBQ sauce they usually sell with the nuggets.

There is a new forum section for NTLite topics: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/177-ntlite/

Greetings poster, this would have been helpful 6 years ago.

The term "better" is an expression of opinion. Never will everyone agree what is and what isn't better.

So finally, after a couple years they will give RT to OEMs? They gave everyone who had Server 2012 (and R2) the ability to PXE boot ARM devices but never gave anyone the OS to deploy to it.

Why would you want to have tabs when you could have web pages in separate windows? -Noel Is this a sarcasm? I have a whole monitor already dedicated to IE.... (Maybe I need more monitors?)

So the new IE is a blend of Chrome and Firefox (which is a blend of Chrome and Chrome) and will have improved tabs? As in, the tabs will no longer be next to the address bar and I can have more than 4 at once?

Looks like Google updated this topic's original image, so it looks normal now. Here is an old article where you can see the original image: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/7473754/Google-Street-View-Giant-floating-pliers-above-the-sky-of-West-Bromwich.html

Your answer file is set to go into Audit Mode. User creation is not done in this case.

Use an Autounattend.xml file for each edition. The only real way to do what you want is to create a custom boot.wim that has a program (or script/batch) that launches first. Then you choose your option and it will launch setup with the appropriate unattend file. See here for reference (this topic uses WinRE to launch setup) http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/142990-installing-windows-7-from-recovery-partition/?p=918385

It was reported that Notch had never intended for Minecraft to get so big and was uneasy about how to handle such a large company. That was the primary reason for wanting to sell Mojang. I even read that they went to Microsoft first. I don't expect any of them to just disappear. So far it sound more like that Microsoft will be handling the business end of things, while the current developers say nothing with the game or their community participation will change.

The interactive desktop, I think, is more of a recent term. Where in Vista and newer OSes, the interactive desktop resides in Session 1 (or higher number) and the System account and services run in Session 0. For XP, everything would run in Session 0 (as it was interactive) unless another account was logged in, either via RDP or Fast User Switching. I'm wondering why you want to use the System account, why not the logged in user account? Schtasks allows for password input with the /rp switch. c:\windows\system32\schtasks /create /sc MONTHLY /MO first /D MON /st 07:00:00 /TN rights /tr c:\PROGRAM.exe /ru COMPUTERNAME\USERNAME /rp PASSWORD

Good to know that you can set a default language that isn't the language of the ISO.

I don't understand the complaints about UAC. I have PCs where I both use it and don't use it. Of course the one that I have it disabled is in an isolated network. For all other PCs and Servers, the only thing I change is to disable the screen lockout during the UAC prompt, via the Local Security Policy.
