weEvil Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) Thanks for retooling aviv00's guide. Its much easier to follow now.So this also works on Server 2008 Web? Its got a slightly different arrangement.Also, there is no gimagex. Its simply imagex. Edited November 23, 2008 by brucevangeorge
romanian Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Google "gimagex" and install in same folder as imagex. It's a gui w/c makes using imagex easier.Favor to 7bingo7: could you replace "PHrase" wit "Phase"? Makes it easier to comprehend ^^ Excellent work!Based on your attached files, what's your iso size and installed disk space used?
romanian Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 RE: Phase TwoIs the instruction tp remove the "Owner" directory still necessary?
weEvil Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Tweak the registry (%IMGMOUNT%\Windows\system32\config\SOFTWARE) to make all packages visible (See more later). Replace the original "SOFTWARE" with your tweaked version.See more later.... Needs to be clearer here.Also, it would be great if you can include a list of tools (like gimagex) and download locations at the bottom.
7bingo7 Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Hi, guys, thanks for your feedbacks and suggestions.I'm just busy in hunting for jobs... tough time for fresh graduates this year.Anyway, I'll find some time to perfect it. Edited November 25, 2008 by 7bingo7
aviv00 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Posted November 27, 2008 7bingo7 about Phrase two - Pre-processingu forgot to notice that in the regedit the owners key reg need to be able to remove them cos then the system will always look for the owner and wont able to remove it
romanian Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Well that answered my question ^^ Now I get why you specified that. Thanks ^^

What does it do?This was not mentioned before, I did a search on the forum for "owner's key".
aviv00 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) @weEvilits mentioned here http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=730473those key folders need to be removed else the packages wont be removed cos it package's owner wont let itanyway im very recommending to use web edition of server 2008its have much less packages to removeand all the packages the user need for workstation is therelike desktop xp , and wirelessnetwork too and the tcp tweaked is should be and iis ofc Edited November 29, 2008 by aviv00
wnuku Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) Hi,this topic was wery helpful for me, but after few tries i decided to little speed-up my experiments So i wrote a little script that enables all packages in windows\system32\config\SOFTWARE registry file by setting Visibility to 0x00000001 and removing "Owners" subdirectories. here it is :download source code (C# .NET 2.0)download binary Look for updated version here.(both download files contains Win32Security library (in binary or source code form) for some native registry calls that are missing in managed .NET)To use it just mount install.wim with imagex (or gimagex, whatever), run my app and type the path to the mounted install.wim (You can provide this path as a run parameter as well). I hope that my tool will be usefull for You Edited January 8, 2009 by wnuku
