Try the Search button at the top of every page. Argon has a good list here

Dont burp, search! Try this or this perhaps

Set up your ODBC entries, then export the registry entries from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI And to force SQL Server ODBC to use TCP/IP port 1433 export relevant entries from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer

Just before the quotes REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\MicrosoftNETframeworkv11\dotnetfx.exe /q /c:\"install /q\"" /f

LPL reckons you have to apply Smallicons with a batch file in the Startup folder. See this thread. Microsoft updates KB890830 every month so its not worth adding to a Ua CD. I cant help with your other hotfix problem because I dont use the svcpack.inf method. They work fine with the good old batch method. @echo off SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION FOR %%C IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%C:\WIN51 SET CDROM=%%C: FOR %%i IN ( "%CDROM%\Hotfixes\1\*.exe" ) DO ( ECHO Installing hotfix %%~ni %%i /O /U /N /Z ) Adding the VMware video drivers (46Kb) to your OEMPnpDrivers path should fix its message. Get them here

You should probably reboot after partitioning your disk. If you dont then you get all sorts of strange errors, even though the disk seems to be partitioned and formatted correctly.

Not sure, but try this? REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /v SmallIcons /t Edit: sorry, I am wrong

Do you mean OemPnPDriversPath? Drivers subfolders are not searched automatically. You must add them all manually to the path.

This works for me as long as the local admin password is the same as the domain admin password. [GuiUnattended] OEMSkipRegional=1 ; EncryptedAdminPassword=No TimeZone="235" OemSkipWelcome=1 AutoLogon="Yes" AutoLogonCount=2 AdminPassword=xxxx ; Local administrator password [Identification] JoinDomain=Domain DomainAdmin=Domain\Administrator DomainAdminPassword=xxxx

From Microsofts Ref.chm And from Deploy.chm

Pyrons method for installing drivers looks like it scans driver subdirectories recursively. Bashrat uses this method for his driver packs, see the Drivers forum for more info.

Wonder why youre getting an error about writing to a logfile? I thought the default was no logfile, or at least to create one in the Windows folder. I dont remember the exact option to specify where to make a logfile, but try this. start "OfficeXP" /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\OfficeXP\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb /Le%SystemDrive%\Office.log Have you tried this? SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Office XP" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\OfficeXP\SETUP.EXE TRANSFORMS=SetupFile.MST /qb" /f

Double-click it in Windows

Copy Reg.exe to $OEM$\$$\System32 $OEM$, not %OEM%

You mean you can see hidden files like C:\Pagefile.sys after a fresh install? I cant see anything in your regfile that would enable hidden files. Is this the only regfile you use? Possibly related, in some lines in your regfile quotes are displayed as " (ShellState and TaskbarWinXP for example) Try retyping the start of each of these lines (up to the = ) just in case any invalid characters have crept in. Also if you're using Notepad, try turning Line Wrapping on and off to make sure lines are ending in the right place. Copy/pasting from these forums sometimes causes line breaks in the wrong place, like this: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "ShellState& quot;=hex:24,00,00,00,37,88,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 01,00,00,00,0d,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00

When you boot with BartPE or WinPE, you need to use Winnt32.exe to start Windows installation. Example: winnt32.exe /unattend1:C:\local\unattend.txt /s:c:\local\source\i386 /udf:%computername%,Z:\unique.udb /syspart:c: /tempdrive:c: /debug4:c:\local\debug.log /noreboot /copysource:lang /dudisable rem To restart PC: kill nu2 to restart from BartPE. "Exit" restarts WinPE if "%RamDrv%"=="B:" pskill.exe nu2menu.exe exit Available command line options are explained in Winnt32.hlp

Did you try it without the /qb- option to see if an error is displayed? It might help track down the problem. setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST I've done OfficeXp installs without Outlook, but I havent tried Office2003. However I dont think Outlook is related to your problem.

Try shortcut.exe

You mention in another thread that you delete the Guest account? Try leaving it enabled. MS say that disabling it will cause problems with shares. More details here. With unattendswitch=yes, Windows Firewall at its default settings (enabled), and Guest enabled, I have no problems accessing workgroup shares.

ieaccess=off in [Components] doesnt uninstall IE, it just disables the shortcuts according to Ref.chm: Chimborazo pointed out here that you can also turn on and off shortcuts with the following code in a batch file: %systemroot%\system32\shmgrate OCInstallHideIE %systemroot%\system32\shmgrate OCInstallHideOEor rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OCInstall HideOE

You can also turn off those shortcuts in WINNT.SIF. See here for details. [Components] ieaccess = off msnexplr = off oeaccess = off wmaccess = off Keep a copy of the shortcuts somewhere and copy them to your All Programs folders during one of your batches.

Are you sure _INS5576._MP is the correct name of the process? It looks strange. You could try this. @echo off start E:\ScanWise.exe /s /a /s /sms /f1E:\scan.iss echo Waiting for process _INS5576._MP :LOOP ping -n 5 127.0.0.1>NUL tasklist | findstr _INS5576._MP if errorlevel 1 goto LOOP taskkill.exe /F /IM _INS5576._MP

nLite should be able to remove most of it

The server could set Autologon in the workstation registry then remotely reboot it with shutdown. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="User name" "DefaultPassword"="12345678" "DefaultDomainName"="" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" "AutoLogonCount"=1 By the way, why logon? You can run processes on remote workstations as any user without having to login.

Does the E: drive exist? ProfilesDir="E:\Documents and Settings\"
