I made this same mistake also. I had installed the beta version on Server 2003, and it also did not work very well. I now have this only installed on Server 2008 and went back to v2.1 (Vista SP1 Servicing version) on my 2003 Server. The system requirements are like this. The first (your bold) is what version of Windows the WAIK is designed for, being Windows 7. That is the main target, to say if you want to work with Windows 7, you need to use this. After you start looking into the documentation, you also see that it is designed for Vista SP1 and Server 2008. The second requirements is what OS is needed on the Technician PC. In my case, my 2003 Server was at SP2, and I am not interested in installing SP3. I haven't had any problems using the new Imagex. I can use it to mount and unmount images still. I do complain about DSIM because you need to type in full paths for a lot of things and PEIMG did not require your to. For example, packages when building the PE. In addition, the documentation is not up to par for the initial introduction to DSIM, it caused me issues because the syntax of my commands were wrong until I looked at the walkthrough for building a "DVD Windows PE".

I have "completed" Oblivion so far, never played Fallout 3 but I understand its the same thing. The cool thing about Oblivion is that you can do anything you want. You choose whether or not to follow any quest you are given, or even playing the main quest. After you load the game, you can ignore your "destiny" altogether and do whatever you want. If that means you want to collect brooms, or kill everyone, or go around making potions or eating all the plants you can find, it is up to you. In fact, with both of these games, after you complete the main quest, you can still play it and go about and do whatever you want. There are a bunch of side quests, and different factions you can join and such. And if that eventually gets boring, there are large modding communities for both games to add extra content into them. Be it new quests, factions, houses, boats, enemies, races, weapons, you name it. The only thing that becomes a pain is if you start using mods is that your program folder can get very large!

OK that may be an issue. The computer is joined to the domain, and it shows up as such in say, IPCONFIG, but the account on it is still the local administrator account. I will try making a user for it. What AD group do you think? Backup Operators? The only strange thing in the event viewer (there are no errors) is some Audit Failures (and passes) that include NULL accounts that are coming from the Domain Controller.

Here is my best guess. The programming language that this DLL is coded in requires a specific set of assemblies to be installed onto the client in order for Windows to know how to use this file. It is likely you are missing these assemblies. By assemblies, think of them as other DLL files needed so that custom files can be run. You can see an example of this theory on the following, which is a website that talks about making custom programs and DLLs: http://tydbits.com/node/1497 The website says that it was converted into a C++ format. I am not sure if that is anything to worry about. So, you can start by installing the Visual C++ Runtime Libraries. Install one at a time until you are able to register the DLL. You will want to check Add/Remove Programs first to see if you have any already installed on your computer. You will not need to reinstall those ones. Here are some links to the downloads. You want to only get ones that say "redistributable" in the name. There should be one for each major version of Visual Studio, so 2005, 2008, etc. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=+...runtime+library As a last resort, the CNX.org site has a link at the bottom of the page to email the author.

A friend of mine had this issue as well, but moreso it was a defect in the design of the notebook. She had ended up buying a cooling unit for the notebook. It sits underneath it, has a couple of fans and connects to a USB port. They range in price from $15 to $45, which matches the range in quality. The $15 one is pretty flimsy but does work and hasn't quit yet. Frequent overheating will cause the electronic components inside the computer to change the levels of electricity they like to use. This will lead to some functions of the notebook to not work all the time, or fail altogether. It is a very serious situation if ignored, you could end up one day not being able to turn it back on. So try to take care of it and make sure it doesn't overheat. Keep it away from any heat sources.

You will be requested for more information. Please take a look at this thread to get started: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=130004

That's a good one, I've seen them 3 times! currently: Bing Crosby: MacNamara's Band

I just set up my new server. I have installed only Daemon Tools and Windows OPK beta for Windows 7. I have added the role of Deployment services and joined the server to a domain. From the WDS Snap-in, I choose to Add Server. I choose Local Computer, and then receive this error: Add Server Error Logon Failure: Unknown user name or bad password I have not ever set up WDS on a machine that was not a domain controller. Is this normal then? The domain it is joined to is on Server 2003.

This thread will be used by myself (and others can too) to view bugs that occur when using the Windows 7 Beta WAIK or OPK Tools. In order to post a bug to this thread, you need to specify the following: 1. Error or behaviour occuring 2. Screenshot of issue 3. Reason this is occurring In short, this thread isn't for "I am getting this error and I don't know why", but to reveal bugs in the Beta version. Also, I will be heavily modifying this topic. This is only to be used as a tracker. Non-bug report posts will be split off and made into other threads, this includes discussion of bugs reported here. I have one to start. When creating a new Win PE, you use the copype command. After this command is run, it changes your prompt. For example, in my case it changed from: c:\program files\windows opk\petools to c:\winpe_amd64 After you have completed using your image, using the following command: dism /unmount-Wim /MountDir:c:\winpe_amd64\mount /commit You will receive an error. This is because dism is still trying to use files within the mount point during the unmounting process. This did not occur in previous versions of the PETools. The error is: Error: 5 General Access Denied Error And it then returns you to the prompt where your Winpe.wim was mounted. Here is a screenshot. Notice that the error box above is caused by the fact that I had explorer open to c:\winpe_amd64\mount, and Server 2008 does its automatic refresh deal, which produces this message. This is opposed to previous versions of Windows which relied on the user to refresh a window. And this window was also minimized as well.

You should not need to set a workgroup name. Just use the following: NET USE Y: \\computername\share password /user:localuseroncomputername

Update: Daemon Tools worked just fine. I couldn't uninstall Nero 8, and had to use their cleanup tool to remove it. Now that I have the OPK installed, I can start making 64bit Win PE! I'm pretty excited!

I use the following: Gmer & MalwareBytes. But I don't keep these programs installed on a system ever, but only use them if I need to.

Your best bet is to put these drivers into your Windows installation, then they will be present in any system if the user connects the camera. I wouldn't recommend devcon to install drivers, as it will force a driver to install as a device, not just make the files available to Windows, if the device is not present. Then again, this is what you are seeing.

The Microsoft Best Practices are here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749092.aspx The steps are basically this: 1. Use the Vista DVD to install Windows, then install your drivers and applications. You can do this either manually or via AutoUnattend.xml 2. Sysprep /generalize and whatever other options you want. You can also make your sysprep file to handle the actions of the machine after deployment here. 3. Capture the image with Imagex. 4. Deploy the image with Imagex. 5. After the deploy, your sysprep setup will do the things like join to domain, and get other applications and/or additional drivers. So basically, you make an image for each config that you have.

I have also had problems after skipping the prompt to insert CD 2. I think it is fine to skip is via RTM, but not if you are installing updates, which I do. So as a rule, we now never skip the CD 2 prompt. You definately need that second disc, I am going to recommend.

How do you plan on using it? The website has it used in GraphEdit, but I am sure there would be other ways to use it. I think this file is designed to be a DirectX filter. Do you have other software to add it? I tried using it recently but I couldn't figure it out.

Frequent overheating will cause you more problems in the future than this message. You should combat that issue first I would advise.

Good that you finally joined. I think I came about the same way.

Yes, make sure to read the rules. And no more all caps please.

Greetings

I heard that is a nice place to live!

I know what you mean about worrying about a magazine and it not being printed anymore. Recently (well maybe around last year) Ram (Reseller Advocate Magazine) went online only as well. I didn't actually pay for it, but I liked to read it. I am not as interested in reading magazines or newspapers online. I maybe look at one article online and then that is it. With a paper magazine, I'd actually spend more time with it, read more articles, etc.

I agree. Your PE should already be able to do this. Even v2.0 could detect USB keys automatically. It won't autoplay or show you anything on the screen, but you should be able to verify its drive letter after being plugged in with Diskpart. Use the list vol command to see the drive letters.

I would imagine its the same difference of Vista vs Server 2008.

My Nero 7 has it, but the license I use does not let me open it. And it is not part of my Nero 8 install either. I'll may try one of the other ones posted here but first I have to uninstall Nero 8 and then I'm going to try DaemonTools first.
