Welcome to the MSFN! Check out our forum rules, especially Rule 11.

Indeed!

This driver appears to be a virtual device driver that is included in some video codec packs. Did you include any software into your master image?

You didn't post your operating system. Server 2003, for example, has shell32 marked as a protected system file. So as soon as you change it, Windows will revert to the original copy.

XP Downgrade Rights comes in different types. One of those types does indeed have no EOL status, but others will expire very soon. can you explain this a bit more? Well, not entirely. But for example, for Vista SP1, I ended up using this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=b0c7136d-5ebb-413b-89c9-cb3d06d12674&displaylang=en

They definately look pretty cool. As for using them, see if you can find them on newegg or amazon and if there are any user reviews of them.

Do not make posts or topics in all caps. Please read the forum rules.

This happened when installing the program? Did you download it from Apple?

Silly you! Resource kits usually come as an additional CD-ROM you can get separately. Sometimes these also came with MSDN or Technet subscriptions. As for downloading it... here is where you can get sysdiff for Windows 2000: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927229

Is it at all possible that, at some point during the test, it is reading from the Cache or from memory instead of the physical disk? That would explain a speed increase at least. I moved all these posts out of the WEI topic.

I've heard that you can use 7Zip to modify WIM files but is there a specific reason you aren't using WAIK to do this?

I removed your duplicate post. Sometimes you need to import the disk to see it. Oh but its a basic disk not dynamic... What file system is on that drive? Here is some info on Disk Management that might help: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771775.aspx

No, the binaries I end up using are different than the ones used for slipstreaming.

Well I ended up building the app without doing the things that the tutorial wanted me to, such as setting a custom icon and entering the versioning info.

I was thinking of getting this, but I'm going to wait for RTM as the image update instructions might have changed by then. I can only hope it is as easy as the Vista SP1 update, otherwise I'm going to have a long time to rebuild all my images!

To clarify, 2000 has been EOL for a long time, this is for extended support. So if you are still using 2000 in the enterprise, you are officially 100% behind the times!

I am following a document that has you create 2 C++ applications in Visual Studio, but the document appears to have been written by more than one person and edited together. The first program says to use Visual Studio 2008 Professional (I have Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition) and I had no problem making it. Other than having to redo all the settings when I switched from Debug to Release build. The second program looks to be a lot simpler, but goes through different steps than the first. It starts by saying to open Visual C++ 2008 instead of Visual Studio 2008. Some of the other directions are also not possible for me to do, or I do not know how to relate them to the version I have installed. Here are some examples of things that are in the instructions that do not work. - Press Alt+F7 to open the Applications Property page = this either does nothing or sets focus on the properties box in the lower right. - After adding a resource file it says to switch to Resource View, which it does but the entire pane for that section is blank. It says to expand nodes and what nots, but I do not see a tree view of anything there. There are a couple other things and I am sure that it is possible to figure this out but I do not have a lot of VS experience. I will try to get some in-person help later today but figured I would throw this question out there anyways.

Also, stay away from DataImage if your Server is 2008. It does not work (properly if at all) unless you are up to R2. If you figure out how to use DataImage (without MDT2010) on regular Server 2008, let me know.

I hope you mean that the "oldest" backup is deleted, not the "old" backup. That would make more sense. Typically anything you see in schtasks *should* show up in Task Scheduler unless the task was created with an account that has different permissions than the one you are logged in as. Also, couldn't these tasks be assigned via AD or a remote system? For example, I know with Windows Server Backup, you can remotely manage the backup of other domain servers but I do not know if it would create tasks on the client or not.

Easiest way is to create one manually some place, then export the key out as a .reg. Then you will know the correct syntax.

Glad you got it resolved!

Fortunately with notebooks you have multiple power sources. If you think its the power supply, you should try running on Battery to see if the problem happens there. Or you could try being on AC with no battery installed. I've seen weird things if the battery has a problem even if running on AC. But these could be a waste of time, posting the info from the blue screen is really your next step. Presuming the system crashed properly, there should be something under System in Event Viewer with the error. You may also disable the automatic restart on system failure, so you can read what is on the screen without it rebooting.

Welcome to the MSFN!

There should be no reason why you would need to even use skiprearm for deployment. This is what I do to "get around" it. I make 1 unattend install from DVD that puts the system in Audit Mode. Then I sysprep /Audit /Generalize and capture the image. Then, I have a single Win7 source to make multiple different images from. I would still have 1 Generalize left in order to create a new image. If I used up that one, I just redeploy the Audit image again.

It won't hurt to put the NIC driver into both WIMs.
