It is CRM software from Microsoft. You are probably getting these emails from resellers. Sometimes the methods they use for mailing lists grow a mind of their own it seems. http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/en/us/default.aspx EDIT: I changed the names of the domains you posted. MSFN gets updated on google pretty fast ( blah ) so no need to SEO those guys.

I can think of 2 options: 1. purchase licenses for NTFSDOS, might let you run this program... not sure. 2. Just use USB keys instead of floppies. I'm surprised your servers even have those. Anyways, my deployment platform is scripted to run the following command after deployment but before reboot: bcdboot c:\windows

I imagine it is possible. I've always wondered how most of eBay works off a website DLL for years now, but I never looked into it. Oh also, remember that file extension only has to do with file associations and what programs are needed to launch a file. You can make up anything for a file extension, but an app can call it specifically and doesn't care what the extension is, as long as the file headers are correct.

Welcome to the MSFN!

Fixed Also looks like the welcome message at the top of the main forum index is like this also. Didn't notice it until now. For me it says: "Hello Tripredacus, Welcome to MSFN - Where"

I guess its not clear. I didn't know until I noticed, there is a gear to the right of the search box. This goes to the advanced search. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?app=core&module=search&search_in=core

Here is a thread where a user made a WMI script that names a computer based on system information.

If this is for enterprise deployment, you may want to look into MDT 2010. I hear its a lot easier to work with than trying to manually do it with WDS. The second answer file for the install image needs the Servicing and oobeSystem passes.

No. SVCHOST is only supposed to be in System32. The one in C:\Windows is a virus of some sort. And yes, SVCHOST runs under the SYSTEM account, which is why it only shows up if you check the box. Try the Anti-Malware toolkit to remove your infection. In the mean time I am moving this topic.

I think they only way you can enable that from the operating system. What is the name of this program you found?

We have a new skin so if you find any bugs with it, post there here. I have one to post already. Some Sub-Forum titles are too long for the blue trapezoid to hold. This is one example: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/101-unattended-windows-discussion-support/ You can see that it just goes to "Unattended Windows Discussion & Support Su" but if you highlight the text, the "bforums" part becomes visible. Other sections with this problem: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/37-web-development-html-java-php-asp-xml-etc/ http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/66-programming-c-delphi-vbvbs-cmdbatch-etc/ Also the Other\Dev section... won't post a link for that.

It sounds like the unattend you used had the Administrator account and a logon count specified. This setting may also be present in the registry for you to remotely edit.

For this, I would put the serial number in the DMI under the Serial Number or Asset Tag field. Then run first logon commands to rename the computer via WMI. If your motherboard doesn't have a DMI this could be a problem, also I do not know how to get it to join the domain after the rename. You might have to prequalify the systems in AD.

This sounds like a worm is infecting your PC. A common trick by them is to run as a service through svchost.exe so that they do not readily appear in Task Manager. However, for some reason people who write worms/trojans seem to not do it right, and svchost will crash if their code makes an error.

If it is specifically about nLite, we have an nLite forum. If it is about making Unattended XP installs, we have a forum for that. Otherwise general XP is available too.

I have an idea. I should upload an old IPB onto that VM and see if it works properly...

In Device Manager, you see the modem listed there with the flag on it. Right Click on the Device and click Properties. On the General Tab is a section titled Description. Post the message in that box.

A little different this time because I am running my own server. I suspect the possibility that I do not have PHP running properly. I am working on porting a CMS I had created for another website and use it for one I am working on now. My problem is that some of the code doesn't seem to like PHP5 or else I don't have it set up correctly. For example, I have verified that I can get data out of a MySQL database, but some functions or methods do not work. One of them is mysql_num_rows(). Apache complains that mysql_num_rows() is an undefined method. This should work properly without having to define it, isn't it a public/built-in function? http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-num-rows.php Also the code originally said to use getNumRows() but this does not work either. As far as the actual function goes, it is to count how many results are returned from the database. In this case, there will either be 1 or 0. The information is located in the database, and should pull 1 entry, but instead it just makes this error. Everything else in the script up to this point is working... Any ideas?

Well that is ok. At least now the links are underlined. That was the reason I used Orange because links inside of posts would stick out better.

What is the Code number in the Description in the Properties of the device?

A 64bit WinPE can deploy both 32 and 64bit images. Windows 7 setup doesn't really care what the architecture is. Not sure about Vista, because Vista still uses an installer where 7 basically uses Imagex.

Not to my knowledge there wasn't. Is there a way I can check to see if any drivers were added to the image and if so, is there a way that I may remove them. Yes you can do this. If you mount the image, you can look in mount\Windows\inf and look for oem*.inf. Some of these are built into Windows, but additional ones get appended at the end. You'd have to compare this to the source in the install.wim of the Windows 7 DVD. But let's say, for example, the DVD only goes up to OEM13.INF, then if you had INF files up to 33, those extra 20 would have been injected after the fact. I've had to remove an injected driver from an OS before. If you knew exactly which driver it was, you could search the OEM*.inf files for the HwID of the affected device. You can use DISM to remove the INF file once you find it.
