If your notebook has an Intel controller, install the IRST and see if resuming from hibernation is any better. From https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3409&DwnldID=22036&keyword=irst&DownloadType=Drivers〈=eng The third option (iata_enu.exe) will install the software. It will only work if your SATA type in the BIOS is set to AHCI or RAID.

Welcome to the MSFN!

I'm not getting notification of PMs.

The MDAC package is only really for MMSQL connections. There is a custom MSJet package floating around online but I never tried it. http://oss.netfarm.it/winpe/plugins.php

DiskConfiguration is only applicable to the windowsPE pass. Do not use it in any other pass.

Topic closed by request. New topic here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170850-aero-glass-for-win81-10/

I will try it again in a bit. The error is only there for 2-3 seconds because Windows ends up rebooting even if you don't click OK.

I created it while the error box was on the screen. Its likely Explorer.exe was no longer open. If I have to redo it, you think I should generate the dump after chosing restart but before the error appears? That could be quite difficult...

I'm surprised that topic is still there. Do they ever delete anything? I even bet this topic will be around for awhile: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/cf53c7b6-feef-425e-a61d-b89413bf939c/testing?forum=w8itproinstall

I don't know about printers... I never try to use WinPE as an OS replacement... But for drivers in general, presuming the drivers support it, you can install an INF using Drvload.exe. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766390%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

Well with MDT you do have the ability to build an image that deploys via DVD. I haven't done that myself but I have received them from clients so I know it is possible. Your theory is sound, it is what I use but with WDS instead of a third party solution.

My copy of the debugger can't open the DMP file. I'm presuming it is because I need to update it. Hopefully it isn't corrupt. Note: the PC I generated it on only has 2GB RAM, to explain its size. https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=DF9CED75545B2B97%21216

Have you verified that the DNS Server actually has more than one entry for it in its records?

Well with MDT (or even WDS) you create a Distribution Share where images end up going. Those programs will set it up for you but you can share a folder to the network manually too. You don't even need to put them on a network, you could store them on a USB drive or an external HDD if you wanted.

Sure you don't need a "server" at all. But you would need a file share where an image is located. Then you boot off a CD or USB to a WinPE boot image, custom or stock and use an answer file. I presume this is what you mean, otherwise you can just make a custom DVD and not use a network at all. EDIT: I'm removing that useless tag.

Believe it or not, this is actually an OLD technique. Before such repositories as SFS or security company lists, even ISPs used some archaic methods that I would have hoped would no longer be used. Think back to the turn of the century. Email spam was the thing back then and an ISP would subscribe to some service that would provide information on how to block them so that their users would not get spam. But there was usually another mechanism. When enough spam/junk complaints would come in for a certain email host for a period of time (say 24 hours) the ISP would block that email host, then contact it to inform them they have a spammer there. The problem would be then that the ISP would tell the host that it would keep blocking them until they cleaned up their servers. If this happened, they would do a trial run and if the spam was under some number or percentage, the block would be lifted. Well in 2002 or so, the ISP I worked for blocked AOL.com. At that time, AOL was still one of the top email providers so you can imagine the uproar this caused.

If the BlackPhone works with a cellular network, then it isn't any more secure than any other phone. Did they forget this? http://www.osnews.com/story/27416/The_second_operating_system_hiding_in_every_mobile_phone

Nslookup opens and will use the client's primary DNS server as its source of information. You can change it to other servers if you want. All Nslookup is is a utility to ask the selected DNS server to resolve IPs or network names. The DNS server has no "knowledge" of how many interfaces are on a target system. So if you feel the information being returned in an Nslookup is incorrect or outdated, you should focus on the DNS Server to solve the issue.

Not for me. Does your image have a custom Environment Variable for %AppsRoot% ? It seems not a default setting at least in Windows 7.

To update, I have now encountered the error in these situations: - Legacy installation on physical hardware (repro near 100%) - UEFI installation on physical hardware (repro around say... 10%) - Installation on Gen 1 Hyper-V VM (repro near 100%) However, not able to repro on Gen 2 Hyper-V VM, but to be honest I haven't put the time into it. Nothing more boring than constantly restarting a PC. Also, testing in VMs is out of scope for my since I primarily work in the physical environment. It is enough work on it for now tho, the case has been escalated and I will relay any information (as allowed) when it becomes available.

As Andre says. Basically if you want to use the Store and those fancy apps, then you need to log on with a Microsoft Account. I'm with you tho, if I had to use Windows 8 I would just use a local account as well. I doubt there is anything worthwhile in that Store that I can't find as a conventional program somewhere else.

We aren't WSIM... Is there something not working with your file?

I chatted with him about it last week. He said for me to check if any hibernation rules were set, but none of them were. I also had also reported this as a bug to Microsoft but have not heard back anything yet.

Windows Gadgets? What version of Windows?

There are other things to check if your computer does not beep on startup. - You can attempt a blind entering of the BIOS. If the computer does POST but not boot, you should still be able to enter the BIOS. Or if you fear making some accidental change, you could try the boot menu key. Either way, indicator keys on your keyboard will work if the computer is not locked up and has gone past post. Keys include Caps, Scroll and Num Lock. - Change your boot order to boot off your DVD drive. Then recreate the process so that the reboot would fail as you had seen before. Put a bootable CD into the drive. You should be able to more easily see if the computer is actually booting due to extended disc activity seen when booting off a CD. If you wanted to test your video card for potential errors, see if it works with OCCT. Its kinda like Memtest but for video cards. If there is a problem, it should detect errors fairly quickly. http://www.ocbase.com/index.php/download
