Kingskawn Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I made some nLite cd's based on XP and I must say that it cuts down the time in making one on my own with scripts.Now I would like to know if it's a good start to use this in a business environment to deploy this image to other machines. To be clear I have to make a "GOLDEN" image, an image that will be the base of all machines. This will be an nLite install let's say with things enabled and disabled. After that I make a sysprep of it from the deploy.cab file. Will that image be usable and will every service start like a normal untouched WinXP because I have the impression that sometimes some services have problems to start or maybe it's somewhere else. Or maybe there is a lastsession.ini file specially used for business environments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhc Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Kingskawn, I hate to be the one to break it to you but the nLite EULA does not permit commercial use. There is no provision for business environments. If you will read the EULA, you will see nLite is for personal use only. It is so small, I'll post it here:LICENSE AGREEMENT: Your use of nLite is governed by the following conditions. Please read this information carefully before using nLite.

Kingskawn Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Mmm not so good news. But why is that that we cannot use this in a business environment. Isn't it stable enough or not enough tested to be sure it's reliable? It's not written in this eula? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It IS written in the EULA!!It resides in the installation folder and you also got to read it (and agreed to it) when you installed nLite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingskawn Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yes ok Kelsenellenelvian, I agree that we must read before we install how many eula's did you read before installing the application? Maybe 20% of the time like most of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 LOL yeah I am guilty of not reading the EULA's as much as I should too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
