I never tried to run programs with NTFSDOS. Again you come through with the answer!

Did you look in the Panther logs or UnattendGC to see if there is an error? It could be that Windows was not in the proper state to run xcopy when you called it.

Its definately possible and there are numerous ways to do it. The only way I've gotten a "web page" to do something on a local system was using Flash. You can also do it with HTML/JavaScript presuming you can change some registry keys beforehand. I originally had tried to make programs with HTML but found Flash to be easier to use.

Wouldn't it be easier to shorten member names? Hallo, Trip jaclaz Are we in some crazy time where 1280x1024 is too low? Actually, I posted this at work where my screen resolution is 1280x3840 I think... I'll have to check. Anyways it works now. obligatory jaclaz smiley:

DD-WRT is for lame routers. If I drop some good dimes on a router I would expect it to work properly without using hacks.

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.
