Shutdown WinPE

[rdalling]

I have a customized WinPE that does not use the CMD prompt as the shell. I login to the network, map the network drive I need and kick an install script from a menu item. XP loads properly but drops back to the shell without rebooting the machine.

I have tried the MS version of Shutdown.exe, but it does not work.

Does anybody know how to force WinPE to reboot or have any other ideas?

there is a utility built for peuilder that should work.

this plugin can work under windows explorer shell

rename your own msgina.dll to ginaorg.dll

then rename pegina.dll to magina.dll

you must keep "LogonType" be "0" as below

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"LogonType"=dword:00000000

PE Shell Swapper (PEShell) 1.5.0.1 is too powerful .

just close the shell. When the shell is closed the pc will auto restart. You can do this in cmd by typing exit.

I understand how to exit the menu from the menu, but I can't just issue an exit command to a second spawned process. It only closes the cmd window I'm working with not the menu. I have considered making taskkill.exe work with winpe, but it is more involved than copying the dll dependent files and executing the command to kill the thread.

This is one of the final steps I need to have a totally automated install of windows XP with all my applications, SUS patches and forcing a sysprep at the end using the winbom.inin parameters.
