a way to "preconfigure" this ?

[Sesshoumaru]

i recently started working on a windows 2003 server web edition.

using nlite and other stuff i know, i made modifications to it, but there are still some that a don't know how to do, to be unattended that is

here is the list, if someone knows how to do it (.reg files, etc) i'll apreciate it.

1)disable IE enhanced security

2)disable shutdown event tracker.htm

3)Enable Graphics Hardware Acceleration

4)Enable DirectX

5)Enabling Sound Acceleration (the direct x part, i know how to start the windows sound service)

thanx in advance

i would need thos done automaticaly

i couln't stay idle, so y researched myself.

4 and 5 where:

4)Enable DirectX

5)Enabling Sound Acceleration (direct X)

it seems that slipstreaming sp1 enables those

1)disable IE enhanced security

;disable IE enhanced security

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OC Manager\Subcomponents]
"iehardenuser"=dword:00000000
"iehardenadmin"=dword:00000000

2)disable shutdown event tracker

;Disable Shutdown Event Tracker
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Reliability]
"ShutdownReasonOn"=dword:00000000
"ShutdownReasonUI"=dword:00000000

6) audio service

;enable windows audio
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\AudioSrv\Start]
"Start"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\AudioSrv\Start]
"Start"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AudioSrv\Start]
"Start"=dword:00000002

i think 6 and 2 MUST work with no problems, 1 i don't know, i'll test them in a few moments (have to reinstall ).

3)Enable Graphics Hardware Acceleration

this IS a problem, because it involves strings that wont be the same each time i install

they are:

;graphic acceleration
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Video\{EA5D8CCB-EC6D-4D01-9C79-660EE8AADDD1}\0000]
"Acceleration.Level"=dword:00000000
"strCurWinDevices"=hex:01,00,00,00
"PrimaryDevMask"=hex:01,00,00,00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{EA5D8CCB-EC6D-4D01-9C79-660EE8AADDD1}\0000]
"Acceleration.Level"=dword:00000000
"strCurWinDevices"=hex:01,00,00,00
"PrimaryDevMask"=hex:01,00,00,00
; MATROX PCI
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Video\{BE7533AE-83A3-445E-BAAC-20A713CBC727}\0000]
"Acceleration.Level"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{BE7533AE-83A3-445E-BAAC-20A713CBC727}\0000]
"Acceleration.Level"=dword:00000000

is there a way or a soft to make changes to all keys/strings under "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\" ?

Are you sure those strings won't be the same ??? Cause i suspect those are HID's based on your graphics card. (HID = Hardware ID). Maybe try to look in your Graphics Card Drivers for a match ??

[Sesshoumaru]

they keep changing, don-t know why, but i found an APP that does that for me D:

hi ! I do the same things ... for Audio service (and others too) just CurrentControlSet is necessary

you can use this for disable Ctrl+Alt+Del for logon

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"DisableCAD"=dword:00000001

For acceleration someone has posted a vbs script. But i don't try yet, I do this manually ... Moreover the CLSID of your device (Matrox) change when you install the driver for the card, so just a reg file doesn't work ... (or edit always the CLSID ....)

edit:

For IE Hard conf, it's a windows component, so if you use unattended Winnt.sif file in section [Components] you must add IEHarden = off or something to don't install IE hard conf, but I don't the name of this component, in sysoc.inf it's called IEHarden so try it ...
