Have you checked NAT on your router, it's possible NAT on your router has been set up to translate only the 10.xxx.56.xxx subnet and might need to be extended to the 57 range Another issue could be your IP routes has not be configure to accommodate the 57 extension and also your other clients still have the old subnet mask in their IP configuration Your firewall wall or accesslist could also be an issue.

Not sure what i am still doing here at this time, but you can try changing the winlogon shell for the user(maybe a bit too much) preferably via GPO They might have to logoff and back back again Using Powershell $ShellRegPath = 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon' Set-ItemProperty -Path $ShellRegPath -Name Shell -Value "%ProgramFiles%\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" Using CMD REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v Shell /t REG_SZ /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" /f To revert back to original explorer shell, you just have to blank the value This is off my head and hasn't been tested. So please test before deploying

Have u checked ur primary DNS suffix has been set correctly for your workstations How about your SRV records on your DNS server

Hi, What version of windows are you trying to install, if you have a winpe disk you can read the sysprep logs located in %WINDIR%\System32\Sysprep\Panther to know what is causing the issue

It would change any user object located inside the searchbase OU to the password specified on the first line In this case "OU=Year9,OU=Students,DC=Schooldomain,DC=sch,D C=uk" Year 9

Just as halbaradkenafin said What i would advise so not to make a mistake with the DN since you are not very familiar with it, is to go to the attribute editor on the OU properties page and copy the the DN value directly from it if you don't see the "Attribute Editor" tab you will need to click on View on the main ADUC window and then select "Advanced Features" For the files just as tmcd35 i would used GP preferences.

Try this using Powershell $Password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password' -AsPlainText -Force Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "The DN of the OU in question" | Set-ADAccountPassword -NewPassword $Password -Reset:$true -Server:yourdc or if you want to add the change password option. $Password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password' -AsPlainText -Force Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "The DN of the OU in question" | Set-ADAccountPassword -NewPassword $Password -Reset:$true -Server:yourdc -PassThru | Set-ADUser -ChangePasswordAtLogon:$true Would send the other in a sec, need to sort out a call

try replacing with %MACHINENAME% so it uses the pre-staged name if this doesn't work you might need to set unsecurejoin to true on the unattend file

You can always use group policy preferences. You should find what you are looking for under "Windows Settings".

Hi Cazale, Try this "dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:SearchEngine-Client-Package /quiet" for a computer startup script. Note the feature name is case sentitive
