Problems with eliminating oobe.inf

[jamesagmoore]

Following the posts which showed how to remove WMP by commenting out DefaultInstall lines, I tried the same thing with oobe.inf.

I am using the proper corporate version with a proper corporate key, so I thought the activation exes, html and other assorted nonsense would not be necessary.

Anyway the install is fine, but the network adapter will not get a DHCP address.

When I run ipconfig /renew, the response is "The system cannot find the file specified"

So I am left wondering what is so important about oobe that influences the network connection's ability to renew a DHCP???

Thanks in advance for any ideas
