lisss001 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi I have around 10 computers to manage in my home and every so often I would say three to four times a year a machine has to be re-installed.The problem is that installing means installing the following applications:- IE8- Combined Community Codec Pack- Norton Internet Security- Microsoft Office 2007- SkypeThat's quite a lot and I have considered virtualising everything as it would make my life a lot easier but I don't think this is a viable way forward.My question to you guys is, without setting up a domain is their a way I can run a script from a removable hdd (where the installs are located) that will look for the software and install it with relevant license keys etc if it isn't already?I also need some of the following files copied to each new machine:- Logon Wallpaper (Windows Vista Customised)- DNS Settings- Set Administrator account to active with password "12345"- Turn off Windows Sidepanel So any suggestions ?Or is their a generic way to re-image a machine whilst installing this software and auto-partitioning the hdd to it's maximum size?I would invest in software if recommended.Any help appreciated.

user_a Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Actuallu,yes.Try to use n-Lite to make unatended instalation on windows.It has functions for installation of drivers, software, configure windows and cutting some services. Try to download from here:http://www.nliteos.com/download.htmlYou can use the n-Lite Addon Maker to make your software in the required format.http://www.virtualltek.com/downloads/show/3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Also, if you decide to go this route, remember that nLite is not for commercial use. In addition, we have a forum just for nLite (and vLite for Vista and 7) here:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
