maxXPsoft Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 BDD if you have it separately then Windows System Image Manager or Microsoft Windows AIKyou get all them tools with the Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment originally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I have used a 32 bit Vlite source with the hotfix pack working flawless & only added around 90 meg to the disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp00f Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 i saw that it places a autounattended.xml in the sources map , but Vista doesnt look in maps only in the root, or on removable devices.So what the use of that?And can still use my own XML ?

There's no nice way to do it at the moment. About the \sources\ dir, have a look at:http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista...3.mspx?mfr=trueand you'll see that \sources\ is a place for autounattend.xml as well but I think I may have made a slight mistake with that and it should be called unattend.xml since it's not a windowsPE pass and it should be in a different dir. I didn't have a chance to test the unattend part. Nevertheless, if you stick your own xml in the root of the DVD, it will over-ride it and you can delete the one in sources before or after the ISO is built if you want.In my opinion, Windows Defender updates and MRT really have no need to be integrated as they get updated all the time but they're there nevertheless.

sp00f Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 No matter what i try, MRT doesnt work.i even implemented the part from your XML into mine, no go.I mounted the image , and replaced the MRT.exe , with the latest version,no go.Any other ideas?

Arneh Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) I'm not using the MRT provided from Microsoft's Download Center if that's what you're trying to replace it with and afaik the latest version is the February one which is what I included. Perhaps the one you're trying to include doesn't have a /Q switch to it, but nevertheless I'm using the one specifically distributed via Windows Update for Vista only. I grabbed it from Software Distribution as it was updating.Also, I tried it with an unattend that also had a skipeula bit and it seemed to work fine, ie. no further updates were shown via WinUpdate for MRT.What my XML is trying to do is nothing unorthodox so if its all correct in the XML and where the MRT.exe is located, then it should work exactly as expected.I'm going to start working on a newer version hopefully later today to make it a bit more flexible however it'll probably be a week at least before I have enough time to complete it and test all the parts. The version I originally released (v0.5) was only just an early preview pack to see how it all works for other users.Edit: Just noticed the March MRT, will have a look at that later on as well.

sp00f Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) I mounted the wim and replaced the MRT in sys 32(unpacked)And in the root of the dvd in the sources folderNow it worksAnd where can i download the defender updates?

Arneh Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) I mounted the wim and replaced the MRT in sys 32(unpacked)And in the root of the dvd in the sources folderNow it worksAnd where can i download the defender updates?And there are 2 new updates, but both .exe , how do i jandle those?Tried with $OEM$ folder , but that doesnt work at all.When your Vista install is updated from WU and you get new definition updates, new updates + new Defender engine go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\ to a randomly named folder. You'll notice which folder is the latest one by Date Modified. Those 3 files then in that folder are the ones to be replaced in the Integrator in the \x86\Defender\ folder or directly in the wim in:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\Default\and also in \Windows\winsxs\x86_security-malware-windows-defender_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_5585eece5b4407f1\There's no way to download/get the updates in any other way that I know of except for through WU/AU and WSUS.Also, which updates are you talking about that are .exe?

I'll have a look at that and see what can be done but what other update are you talking about that's also an exe?
