p4ntb0y Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 got it all worked out now...I have not bothered with the SDI boot into ram method etc..I have formated my UFD's with the HP Format Utility and used pe2usb. to create and copy over the files to the UFD.I placed my scripts in the system32 and copied over my wim image to the root of the UFD X:\Images.Nowe when the engineers change the desktop hardware they then boot the UFD so that it does the following....Formats the drive and sets the drive up how I want itlays the wim onto the driveIt then pulls up a hta with the Computername and asset details which the engineer inputs.this updates the sysprep.inf and updates a text file call bios.txtI then write to the bios my boot order, password and asset tag details the machine reboots and then joins the domain.whole process takes 5mins a machine which I am happy about. Once all the machines have been done I will then have sms 2003 and ris to deploy my wims which can check the bios for serial and asser details mapped to its pc name.
