Without any info on how your AD is setup, thats going to be abit tough. You might want to look at Technet, there are alot of sample scripts to add users to AD. Some will even add Mail accounts to Exchange.

Have you guys tried to edit the Abcpy.ini with the information and then deploy it?

How can you xcopy something that hasn't been installed yet :?: regards Simon The files you copy are the Smart Gallery from the Smarttech site. Just copy those files to a server share somewhere. They provide that as a entire downloaded file, just dont use the msi that it comes with to deploy. This is the file: Gallery: Essentials for Educators download http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Support/Downloads/SBS/Windows/SBSv97Win.htm

Version 7, the newest build on the site and also a slightly older version on CD. Both give me the same issues after the install triggering the Symantec Self Repair. The MSI are from Smart tech, if you start their their installer file, you can find the MSI in USERNAME/local settings/app data/Product ID...

I am trying to package this software for deployment. The install via MSI runs ok, but at the end, triggers a Symantec AV self healing. If the user dont have access to the original AV install source you get a prompt for the SAV10.MSI. I tested this with 2 different versions of Symantec AV and get the same results. I have contacted Smart Tech and no answers so far. Edited to add: This happens with the Teacher and Student MSI's Is anyone else getting this issue?

You can call Autodesk licensing to have the license converted to a server based and run the License manager. This was easier for us as we can now ghost image or deploy the install of Autodesk products using their Admin Image method. The only issue is that when you deploy or image, the SQL Express will not work, and you will need to install the content manually from the cd after the Admin Install or imaging. With out the SQL client you will not have the content available in the drawings(Like Nuts and bolts)

Hey guys, this is what we came up with after working with the Smart Tech support guys. This applies to 9.7 only. First the MSI silent install fo teh Smartboard software: msiexec /i"\\Server\install\SMART Board Software.msi" SKIP_PRINTCAP=1 DISABLE_LOGGING=1 /q DL and copy the Gallery to the local C drive: xcopy /y "\\Server\Gallery\*.*" "c:\temp\Gallery\" /E DL the Essentials for Educators: Gallery collections download for system administrators from Smart Techs site and use this file to run the following line: msiexec /i "\\Server\install\SMART Essentials for Educators.msi" FULLCONTENT=1 CDLAUNCH=1 CDPATH="C:\temp\Gallery" /q /l* "c:\esslog.txt" Open the Smart Notebook software and make sure you have over 5000 galley items. The DL location is: http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Support/Downloads/SBS/Windows/SBSv97Win.htm

HOw are you initiating the installation of the SB software and the Gallery files? Do you have the MSI logs i the event view of what happens when the Essentials for Educators is installed? And if you have no SB connected, and open the Smart Notebook, are all the galleries listed as available?

Adobe Products Autodesk Products Anything that uses SQL clients Office 2007 - Cant get uninstall to work right Printer Automation Packages - It's a configuration, but still a pain,

This release is abit buggy, but working with their support we have a deployable package that will install the software and the Smart Educator Gallery. The only issue left is to silently remove the Smart Educator Gallery, it takes a registry setting to allow silent uninstall of the program. But the Gallery files are not removed.

Hey guys Found this thread on Google troubleshooting more strange issues with this particular model. Our admin staff purchased 6,000 of these machines with the AMD processor and ATI chipset. The issues encountered so far are Random reboots(No errors or logs), ATI drivers errors, Freezing from ATI drivers. 1. Drivers are almost impossible to configured correctly. And HP only supports their factory image and not any sort of Unattended installs. 2. Very cheaply made, front bezel easy to break. 3. ATI drivers causes strange errors(tried multiple versions of OEM and HP drivers) So far this looks to be much more troublesome than the Intel models we normally purchase from HP(DC5100, 5000...)
