Back on topic, I got bored and made this. I didn't spend a lot of time on it. Strangely enough, I didn't actually use any fonts or font effects.

It would appear that Windows Embedded Standard 7e ignores the Themes (and child-nodes) when using sysprep with an unattend.xml. Even the Panther logs show it parses everything except for Themes. It is in the documentation and the same XML works on Windows 7 Professional x86. ICE validates fine and does not mention if something is missing. Has anyone tried to use Theme elements (ie WindowColor) with WES7e (trial or otherwise) via sysprep or even an autounattend.xml? Code example: <Themes> <ThemeName>aero</ThemeName> <DefaultThemesOff>false</DefaultThemesOff> <DesktopBackground>c:\downloads\background.jpg</DesktopBackground> <WindowColor>Leaf</WindowColor> </Themes>

Perhaps I mistook the use of the term "installation." Did you mean it as installation of the operating system or installation of the printer? Also maybe you wanted to know how to locally manage printers rather than using Active Directory? Most times when people need help with how to get a bunch of computers inside a domain to have some shared policy or setting, it is done with AD or something being pushed from the server in one way or another. If all are being manually done, then all will have to have their printer properties changed to B&W each time, if the printer driver supports it that is. Of the 3 color printers I have installed, only 1 has the option to use B&W and not color. While this could be an option, the only way to stop individual users from changing it back to color would be to revoke their printer management abilities.

I will see about using the reg in FirstLogonCommands, but I might just stick with what I know works. It takes over an hour to rebuild the image if sysprep fails. Anyways, this isn't an unattend topic... I probably shouldn't have even put that in my first post.

Ah yes. Perhaps it needs *more* elevation, as with UAC enabled, it still will open the elevation prompt if you simply choose to do the Merge option.

Haven't gotten to that point yet! Although we may not need it. I tested with an AutoIT exe and it was able to write to the registry fine (even though a couple of those settings I posted are wrong) so worst case scenario I can just use that exe. Its just odd that a standard right-click Merge doesn't seem to work.

I am working on testing a reg file to run via FirstLogonCommands. I begin by testing on a regular OS (to save time) and once it works, I will add to the answer file. The problem is that while I can do a merge, none of the new values actually appear in the registry, and as such, do not actually make the changes. For the normal test, I right-click on the regfile and click Merge. I get no errors. Here is the reg file: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "HideSCAHealth"=DWORD:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\URL History] "DaysToSave"=DWORD:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\domain.com] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\domain.com\www] "http"=DWORD:00000002 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\domain.net] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\domain.net\www] "https"=DWORD:00000002 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_WEBOC_POPUPMANAGEMENT] "iexplore.exe"=DWORD:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "HideFileExt"=DWORD:00000000 "Hidden"=DWORD:00000001 The test platform is 7PRO 32. What am I doing wrong? I may try testing using AutoIT as well, but I figure I should know how to do this.

So currently the 2008 is a backup DC? I know there is an actual guide on TechNet/KB about doing a domain transfer, but I can't find the link. There are some general outlines that users have posted here in the past:

I hate printers, I really do, but the first thing that comes to mind is modifying the INF they use. I'm sure there must be a better answer. I'll get the big questions out of the way now: - Is there a domain in place here, and if so what OS is on the server (or the domain functional level)? - What are the models of these printers? - Are they all USB or do some connect some other way? - Are the printers only connected to workstations, servers, or are some network printers?

A lot of trojans like to make files and do *something* with them. One of the head-aches of dealing with these is that people are usually able to find the files that are made, but not necessarily find what is making them. So changing the ACLs on files like that to stop them from working, but leaving it so that the virus itself doesn't try to make new ones.

OK i see searching on GSkill isn't the easiest, the OP didn't post the full part number. This should be the correct link: http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=239

Malwarebytes is able to find and remove rootkits, but I use it on an as needed basis. As far as an actively running antivirus goes, this would only be used in situations when you are doing something that leaves you open to getting a virus. Safe browsing and security habits are always the best protection.

http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=222 Its a 4GB kit, which is actually 2x 2GB sticks.

Definately check out your TV specs. Find the native resolution and refresh rate (or the Hz value). If you connect your notebook to the TV and can set those exact settings, you will be fine. If you can't get those settings to show up, you run the risk of potentially damaging your TV with prolonged use.

Do you mean the High Performance power scheme? You can specify it in the unattend file. PreferredPlan

Oh I see Ripjaw is actually G-Skill. Judging from pictures of others online, there is a white sticker on each stick and the part number appears to start with F3, at least in the example pics I saw.

I see what you are trying to do! I've tried this and was unsuccessful at it. Correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like you are trying to capture the phase after Text Mode and redeploy that. While I had made mention of it here, I didn't go into too much detail...

How exactly did you do this "Move to Folder" command? Anyways are you sure you actually lost the files? Did you verify an actual loss of disk space, or check for hidden files?

Indeed, keep it here:
