I recommend using an answer file to enter Audit Mode, or to pass arguments to be done in Audit Mode.

MDT and WAIK work a little differently. Are you using MDT now?

Your PatrolPro program seems to be involved in Movie Maker. What is this program doing? What's in this folder? Any logs left? C:\Users\navigator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WLSetup\Logs\

I don't recommend using the Ctrl+Shift+F3 to enter audit mode unless absolutely necessary. Best place to use it is at the Language selection page in OOBE.

Yes that should be fine. If it doesn't deploy the way you want, you may need to invoke setup using an answer file.

Is this system using any levels of RAID?

The next step would be to use ProcMon to get a trace. Add the processname for Windows Movie Maker (I don't know what it is called) to the Filter option. Open WMM, wait for it to close. Save the trace from ProcMon and upload it (zip of course)

Also in Device Manager you can choose to view Hidden devices.

I have often found it annoying that DISM doesn't check the arch of the OS before injecting a driver. This is even true of a WinPE image, which has no WoW but DISM will still install a 32bit driver in there if you tell it to. Probably would happily inject Itanium drivers too. This all just leads to documenting what drivers are put in there. And if I have to do an update, need to look for the old ones, take them out, put new ones in. Oh well.

Topics like this make me wish I still had my Iomega binder... or at least remembered more about dealing with their drives. I remember the Clik! was not a big seller and probably received less than 10 calls on it ever. As such, I can't remember anything really specific about the drive. Heck, we didn't even get one in house to test, but we did get a disk. What was the point of that? Then again, maybe Utah was paying attention to the fact that we couldn't figure out how to break any of our drives or disks to replicate customer's problems... Maybe they just figured we didn't need it. PS: I still have a bunch of the tech disks with all the software.

Here are your chipset drivers to install: Chipset: INF Update Utility for 848, 865, 875, 910, 915, 925 Chipset-Based Intel Desktop Boards

Something is definately corrupted. The real error you got was "The service name is invalid" but the presence of those ASCII characters reveals there are larger problems on Windows that should be looked at, and hopefully after fixing them, Security Center will work again.

Normally you should connect your HDD to port 0. Windows doesn't report disk numbers based on ports. It reports them in the order that they are enumerated by the OS. There is an underlying order of priority for disk numbering, HDDs first, then ODDs then USB. However, in rare occasions some devices that connect through the HDD channel like card readers or even USB keys can be potentially detected as Disk 0. That behaviour normally happens in a WinPE since the boot volume is a RAMDISK. If Windows is booted from the HDD, it should also make that HDD Disk 0.

Open Task Manager, go to the Processes tab and sort by name. Try to open WMM as Administrator and see if the process shows up for a second or two and then closes. Then go into Event Viewer, under Application and look for any logs within that time frame relating to the program.

Hopefully when you get this all fixed up, we won't have to go and fix the recovery partition again.

First, the winpeoem.sif is for the old version of WinPE, v1.5 based on XP. You don't have a "device manager" per se, but you can see what drivers are in your boot.wim. In fact, you should use this to get those x64 drivers out before you put in the correct 32bit drivers. DISM /IMAGE:c:\winpe_x86\mount /GET-DRIVERS This will give you a list of the drivers you have installed, including the original filename and the new filename. Find your original filename, which will show the version too, and make note of the installed filename. You'd remove it like this: DISM /IMAGE:c:\winpe_x86\mount /REMOVE-DRIVER /DRIVER:oem22.inf Of course you already know how to add the drivers.

No definately not in WinPE.... But people could use this as a quick and easy way to install drivers in their unattends.

That example grabs the Name object in Win32_ComputerSystem. If you have a system with an Asset tag already on it, you can install the WMI Tools to find out what class and object that data is in. The data might end up being in Win32_Baseboard or Win32_BIOS. You can get WMI Tools here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24045

It not showing up in Services CPL could be a problem. Some viruses will do things to Security center, such as replace it. IIRC all it is a shortcut for the three options: - Monitor antivirus - Automatic Updates - Firewall You can get to Updates and Firewall from Control Panel as well. But do this test from CMD to see if you can start Security Center: net start wscsvc See what it reports back. Also check Event Viewer (Application) for anything relating to Security Center or the above service name.

The Big Hello... hope this doesn't mean you'll finish up with The Big Goodbye.

You need to have a local account on the Domain-joined PC to log in with. Since you were able to actually unjoin your notebook from the domain before, you may have success in creating a user. Create a local user, give it a password, and assign it to the Remote Desktop group.

I found a pretty neat program that detects hardware and can install the appropriate driver package. I could tell that was what it did but then I found it could pass installer switches. The only possible issue is that it runs this concurrently, which we know could be a potential problem in the making. However for the small amount of work I wanted it to do (I didn't expect it to work tbh) it works just fine. It appears that Compal has written a setup.exe which reads data from an INI, then runs the appropriate command once it finds a HwID from the list. Your keyword here is "dedrvldr" which doesn't return much usefull in Google except a bunch of non-English lenovo websites. You can get this EXE and INI from Lenovo's Windows 7 Camera driver. http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=35057 Extract the IN1CAM10WW5.exe with WinRar or 7zip. Here is an example of the cmdrvldr.ini which I used to install WLAN and BT: [DeDrvLdrInfo] VendorCount = 2 [VendorInfo1] Interface = USB VenName = Motorola VenID = Vid_0A12 PID = Pid_0001 SetupFileRootDir = \Motorola\V3.0.12.285 (Logo) SetupFileName = BluetoothSetup.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES [VendorInfo2] Interface = PCI VenName = Realtek 8188CE VenID = Ven_10EC DevID = Dev_8176 Subsys = Subsys_917610EC SetupFileRootDir = \Realtek RTL8188CE\V1005.8.1101.2010 (Logo) SetupFileName = Setup.exe /S /v/qn So using this program will let you do a wide-range of hardware detection, or use it to install multiple things like I have. Also, I checked the actual program (CmDrvLdr.exe) real quick (honestly I didn't try too hard) and it doesn't seem to use switches. In fact, when I did a test of CmDrvLdr.exe /? it did install both programs but then rebooted the system.

Look at Safe Mode device manager, and remove all the sound and modems you see there, then reboot into normal mode... see if it detects something.
