Inferi0r, I had a look at that site but I wanted to do something simpler so that when someone else viewed it they would easily know what I did. I am building an image but am not supporting it. Since I am using BDD2007 and SMS I added JInitiator as an application in the Lite Touch build process. First I installed the application on a PC and then set my required parameters in the JInitiator Control Panel Applet. This actually creates a folder in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\.jinit with two files. It looks like the files are only created after you make changes in the applet. My batch file basically ran a "setup.exe -s" and then just copied the ".jinit\*.*" to the administrators profile. When I do the Image Capture Wizard process SYSPREP copies the admin profile to the Default User profile so all subsequent users pick up that folder and files and the JInitiator applet has the correct settings. After rebooting the system and logging in as a general domain user it all looks OK. I have not as yet tested it via SMS OSD but if I have any problems I will update this post.

Hello there, I am creating an XP SP2 build in BDD 2007 and one of the applications I need in the base build is Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.28. I have extracted the EXE I had and am running the SETUP.EXE file with the -s switch for a silent install. So the command line is just: setup.exe -s What I am wanting to know is how can I make changes to the application so that the following is set, 1. On the Basic Tab the Java Runtime Parameters have specific settings. 2. How to specify a specific Cache size different to the default. I would probably create a batch file that would run the setup.exe command and then have reg entries to be changed if this is at all possible. Thanks Joe

OK, I think this is the way to go. In my case once I had the OSD image I just installed it on the new hardware. Anything that came up as uninstalled in Device Manager I then added to the "Out-Of-Box Drivers" and then re-ran OSD on that machine. This all seems OK. I still have a problem with the audio drivers but this would be related to not having High Definition KB888111 hotfix in the base image. I am updating that now so hopefully that fixes that problem. Other things like the Biometric thumb print drivers may need to be installed as a SMS package in CustomSettings.ini but I am not sure yet.

Hello, I just want to understand the "Out-Of-Box Drivers" part of BDD. - Is this only used for creating your reference builds or for Lite Touch deployments? (I'm only going to deploy my images via SMS OSD) - With the Zero Touch build and distribution point I have for the ZTI image, does the "All Drivers" driver group have all the drivers that are in the "Out-Of-Box Drivers" folder. - Is it advisable to add all drivers that I know I will need for all my machine models which currently stands at about 20 models imported in the "Out-Of-Box Drivers" folder? Is this the standard way of doing it? I have been testing ZTI on two machines and all is OK since all the drivers are in the image. I just received 5 new machines with SATA drives, some Intel stuff and HD Audio and these drivers are missing from the build so some devices aren't installed. Thanks Joe

Glad to see that worked. I had the same kind of problem myself and it took a few of us a bit of time to work that one out. I'm not sure why you have the other problem. What's in REMINST? (I'm guessing here) Other than adding the boot image into WDS like what I did I have not done any work with Vista images. I'm only working on XP SP2. So I am not sure where else to go with this one. Sorry.

yifli, I'm really hung over so hopefully I make sense. - Get the WAIK. - From WINPE.CAB on the ISO image, extract F1_WINPE.WIM and add to the WDS console as a boot image. Give that a go. Joe

Edited.

Thanks for that IcemanND.

Hello all, Could I have this clarified. I am building an unattended XP SP2 image using BDD 2007 framework and have a query about the default user profile. From what I know the Administrator account should be used to build the machine, and when SYSPREP is run the Administrator profile will be copied to the default user profile. I am sure this is working OK for me. Am I right? Thanks for your time.

You probably have already tried this, but have you recreated the rule. Delete it, restart Outlook (may be needed) and then recreate the rule.

I think I may have been confusing the issue for myself. I'll try the following tomorrow. Just create 3 BAT files with the MUI.MSI's for the relevant languages. Each BAT file is a seperate action and then either check or uncheck the option. Just need to look into the updates for the MUI's.

Hi there, I am creating an image which is split into three regions, Europe, Americas and Asia Pacific. Basically in the Config.hta I have 3 seperate actions for installing the regional MUI's for WinXP SP2. That's rather simple, but then I have the situation where I want the same MUI's to install for Office 2003. So for Asia Pacific install a specific set of languages, for EU install another set and AM install yet another set. Is there a way that I can create another set of actions (3 actions) for the Office install without having to edit the Chained Installs section of the setuppro.ini file? Does this make sense? Thanks Joe

Found a solution. Just create an MST for each ChainedInstall. You can create one and just copy paste for each language. Doing that I got no TRANSFORMS error but I still need to check that it is all OK with the specified settings.

Hi there, Sorry for the length of the problem description. I have been searching through the forums and the Microsoft site but can't find an explanation to help with my specific problem. I am building a reference machine using the BDD CIS method and have setup a SETUPPRO.INI file with ChainedInstalls for multiple MUIs. The command I am using is as follows in BDD. Setuppro.exe TRANSFORMS=M:\Applications\Office2003\Office2003.MST /qb- All runs fine until it gets to the [ChainedIntall_n] section where it fails with the following error: DEBUG: Error 2760: Transform C:\DOCUME~1\*****\LOCALS~1\Temp\1761e2c.mst invalid for package C:\DOCUME~1\*****\LOCALS~1\Temp\1761e2b.msi. Expected upgrade code {00110000-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9}, found {001E0000-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9}. 1: 2760 2: C:\DOCUME~1\*****\LOCALS~1\Temp\1761e2c.mst 3: C:\DOCUME~1\*****\LOCALS~1\Temp\1761e2b.msi 4: {00110000-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9} 5: {001E0000-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9} Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid. This is from the log file. The only error that comes up on screen is the "Error applying transforms..." message. I know that the Office2003.MST is working since the settings I have selected are implemented. The [ChainedInstall_n] section in the INI looks like the following. I have a total of 18 languages being installed since this build will be used in multiple countries. This will probably be broken down to regional builds to make it smaller but who knows for now. [ChainedInstall_1] ; This section installs the Multilingual User Interface MSI files. Path=\\ausyd028\Unattend\Applications\Office2003MUI\2052\mui.msi TaskType=msi Display=None [ChainedInstall_2] ; This section installs the Multilingual User Interface MSI files. Path=\\ausyd028\Unattend\Applications\Office2003MUI\1028\mui.msi TaskType=msi Display=None I created a basic batch file which worked without a problem, so the paths are OK, but I just can't see what I am doing wrong. Batch file detail below. M:\Applications\Office2003MUI\2052\mui.msi /qb M:\Applications\Office2003MUI\1028\mui.msi /qb M:\Applications\Office2003MUI\1043\mui.msi /qb Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
