I bet there was something leftover from the desktop part of the OS. Undocked makes me think it is related to the older profiles that were for Notebooks on docking stations. Since MS doesn't support Server OS on a notebook, makes sense to remove it!

That's nice to have a fix but not tell anyone how to install it. It does say that it can't be used offline, so that's definately a problem.

Well with Windows 8, it doesn't seem to like having multiple things up anyways. For the Snap thing in 7, the article is about Vista but I admit it wasn't ever something I even attempted to try.

There are various different brands that might just be fine. I currently have 2 different WLAN routers, so I can give you these with my experiences. 1. Linksys Dual Band G/N: Works as expected, but certain port triggers can cause a hard reset automatically. This behaviour was also experienced with other routers, so I have no real fix for it. An example of getting a hard reset is to attempt to connect to the Quake 3 Master Server, if/when it is even up. 2. D-Link BGN: Stock level has same port triggering reset issue as the Linksys. Using custom firmware (DD-WRT) fixed that problem. G was fine but N speeds were flakey at best. As far as other types go. you are best bet to look at reviews or ratings on a site like Newegg. Popular rated products are going to be the most dependable. I'd recommend a dual band router if you can afford it.

Its probably how the INF is written. For example, an INF can be written to require a restart in order to have complete installation. This is one example of a type of driver that obviously does not work with drvload. It would be interesting to know whether that OCZ driver works if injected into a Windows 7 image... but it just might since WinPE and Win7 handles drivers a little bit differently.

Well the way to connect the windows doesn't seem to work in Windows 7, such as resizing both at the same time when snapped.

Hmmm I'm not sure. I usually don't use drvload because it doesn't always work.

I agree, however it is probably the driver's installer that gave such a message.

I'll just leave a note in here about Flash player... If you are installing Flash player on computers for sale or resale, and are operating as a business, you need to get a redist agreement from Adobe. I run into clients trying this all the time without said agreement. http://www.adobe.com/products/players/flash-player-distribution.html Its a CYA thing.

If you are installing any programs in Audit Mode, make sure they install for all users. If the installer doesn't support that type of install, then it is best to not install it until after. Sometimes other things besides the icons are not copied over. I've encountered some apps that seem to straight up vanish except they show up in Programs and Features, and if you do find them in Program Files (or wherever) they do not run properly.

Windows Setup is smart enough to figure out what OS you want to use by just reading the product key. For your UserData and ImageInstall objects, try this instead: <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> <UserData> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> <ProductKey> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <Key>HMG6P-C7VGP-47GJ9-TWBD4-2YYCD</Key> </ProductKey> </UserData>

Check to see where those missing shortcuts are prior to copyprofile. For example, do they exist only on the Administrator Desktop?

DX79SI would not boot if drive type set to IDE. It would POST, allowing access to the BIOS. If set to IDE, could not boot off HDD, LAN or USB. AHCI worked fine. In light of that, shelved that board for now. DX79TO using single-part deployment on RAID1 using Windows 7 Home Premium x64 resulted in Bootmgr error. DZ68BC using multi-part deployment on AHCI using Windows 7 Home Premium x86 resulted in Bootmgr error. Using Windows 7 Home Premium x64 multi-part image worked! Deploy 7HP32 multi-part using 32bit WinPE 2.1 resulted in Bootmgr error. Update on DX79SI, using new BIOS update, 7PRO64 multi-part image on RAID0 works! Update DX79SI works with 7HP64 on RAID0. DZ68BC BCD information seems incorrect! Example of BCD after 7HP32 deployment, but before reboot: Windows Boot Manager -------------------- identifier {bootmgr} device locate=unknown description Windows Boot Manager locale en-us inherit {globalsettings} default {default} resumeobject {a8b25961-0782-11e0-b9d9-e0dcc4139c77} displayorder {default} toolsdisplayorder {memdiag} timeout 30 Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {default} device locate=\Windows\system32\winload.exe path \Windows\system32\winload.exe description Windows 7 locale en-us inherit {bootloadersettings} osdevice locate=\Windows systemroot \Windows resumeobject {a8b25961-0782-11e0-b9d9-e0dcc4139c77} nx OptIn This appears normal for the state of BCD after deployment but before Windows boots the first time. I will test using x64 and see what its BCD looks like post deployment (since x64 works on the DZ68BC). Update2 BCD using x64 is the same, except a different resumeobject GUID. Wanted to test recovery on DX79SI since the OS seemed to be working. After not getting the OS to activate (7PRO64 on RAID1) did a reimage. But then got a Bootmgr error. Reimage same OS, same error.

You can either try using MDT or put imagex in your boot.wim. Look at Iceman's guide here:

Is that some good tune?

I have a similar degree, but got it more than 10 years ago...

I have DX9 installed on my Win7 PC at home! Some game needed it and it was fine. However, yes Win7 runs natively in its own DX version, but if a program requires a DX9 library, it can load those if it is installed. As far as Open GL, I did not test it on Win7. I did get Open GL 1.3 to work on Vista however.

WDS does support using an XML, but it cannot be attached specifically to a boot image unless you use something like MDT. In just WDS, you can specify a default XML that will apply to all boot images. You can find this in Properties of your Server name in WDS. Then go to the Client tab. Check the box for Enable unattended Installation and point your path to your XML. So far in my testing, this only will apply to a standard Windows Setup boot.wim, and none of my custom WinPE boot.wims use the answer file at all.

I'd think that HLP was deprecated when CHM became used. And now CHM will soon be deprecated since Win8 help can be built in XHTML and CSS. I am not seeing how this is a big deal unless you are still wanting to run legacy applications that still have .HLP files. But maybe someone will make a Metro app that lets you read them? You can be sure that the final release version of Windows 8 will allow for third-party anti-virus software. That being said, I am sure the anti-virus engine (or Windows Defender) will have some better options in GA. The Beta fish is the boot logo. I wonder what the GA logo will be? I would expect a lot more driver support in the finished product. Besides, how old is this NIC of yours? Even my sound card had no in-box drivers for Windows 7 when it came out. This might be a licensing thing. I wouldn't expect MS to pay licensing fees for Codecs or other inclusions to a beta product.
