BoardBabe Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Thank you, so it seems. But if you were using vmware it might not be the same case as on a "real" machine, as drivers may load differently?Can someone verify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Make a file, pingthis.cmd that has one single line:ping www.yahoo.comRun it from svcpack.inf or cmdlines.txt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezalel Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I built an unattended CD that installed Symantec AntiVirus from cmdlines.txt. On first boot I checked the virus definitions and they were up to date. I think you get online somewhere between T-34 and T-29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 If you inspect the setup log found in %systemroot%, you'll find out an awful lot about what happens when during setup. It's been a while since I've looked one over because I seem to have this down now, but as an example, auto activation happens during the GUI portion of the setup. It's way towards the end of the log file, so I don't think it would be an indication of availability during svcpack.inf or cmdlines.txt, but the network for an install is configured rather early on. I'd test out what I posted earlier in here, but I'm in the middle of about 10 other things right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxXPsoft Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 hmmI'm not because ever since I discovered that a long time ago I DISCONNECT the Lan cable during my setups.If memory serves me, something said a long time ago about getting all the Hotfixes done and Virus checkers/Firewall in place before you go online, Josh Maybe?

Synapse Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 yes maxXP, its a good practice to do this, although probably not crucial if the first thing you do is install an antivirus and a firewall and have hotfixes on your CD via SVCPack or any other method.

RogueSpear Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 My guess would be that at that stage of Windows setup, there are probably more than just a couple of services that are not yet available anyway, which would leave less to target. For instance, WMI is not available until after the computer reboots from the GUI portion of setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yes probably not much can happen right there since it may be only connecting to MS sites, but you know what?Best to Be Safe than sorryI want to know whats going out and coming in at all points from Power Switch OnNo Bug's or critters here and never have been.Recovery if configured right works or at least has for me in the few occasions I've had to use it.Which leaves us to another thing, I usually Install Recovery Console which wants to connect and check for updates at Runoncex. I deny it as usual but am I missing out on something special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
