Do i need the ; ?

How do you do this... This is my batch and it does not seem to want to work: regedit /l:c:\windows\system.dat /r:c:\windows\user.dat /d HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5.5 regedit /l:c:\windows\system.dat /r:c:\windows\user.dat /d HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Dreamweaver SHUTDOWN -r -t 10

Well I found a solution, running a batch file connecting to the location of the whole folder created by Adobe. This copies the contents to a temp file, and then runs the .msi /quiet /forcerestart. Now at least ill be able to monitor when the remote workstations have completed the install. I wonder what would happen if i just called the .msi to install off the server directly, i have a feeling it will get confused and try to install it on the server and not the workstation. hmm...

sounds good thanks

I just tried to copy the .msi from the build folder to a flashkey and run it on the workstation does not seem to be doing anything.

nope i can push MSI through deepfreeze, i successfully did skypesetup.msi and it worked great. Ive been trying locally, but it seems like the MSI needs those files to install properly, as in not everything is included in the msi but that it calls other folders for stuff ... weird.

Gotcha, yea. I see the msi but its kinda small for Dreamweaver I would thinkg (40megs). When i run it in CMD with /quiet or /passive it does not do anything (passive flashed the install option but does not error out or continue the install). If i copy the entire folder that the program exports (Dreamweaver/Build and Dreamweaver/Exception) and run the .msi in CMD with /quiet it installs.

Hmm, i built the msi, and it created a folder "Dreamweaver" with an exception folder and build folder. In the build folder there is a .msi package, but i cant seem to get it to install unless all the other folders are included?

Has anyone messed around with Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition? I was wondering if it was possible to build everything into 1 MSI file, and not an MSI file and bunch of folders. Im trying to push the installed of Dreamweaver CS 5.5 through Deep Freeze which works very well with .msi files, but when i build the installer the MSI is only 40megs, while the total folder size (including all the packages etc is close to 500). Is there a way to included everything in 1 msi file?

can mysysprep do french language?

hmm try remaking your unattend file? im not sure ive run into weird issues and i jsut start over haha

When you say have you sysprep'ed your masterimage 3 times what do you mean? running the sysprep /generalize /audit /reboot command, or rebooting while in sysprep mode?

you could try using the mysysprep tool instead of the ms sysprep... i find it works a little better for naming the machines. I have it set ti %SerialNo% and it pulls the machines serial from the bios. http://www.tsaysoft.com/mysysprep2/

What's going on here? I recently installed Faronics Core Console 3 (ver 3.5) and Deep Freeze enterprise (just updated) on a Windows 2008 R2 server. The idea was to install the Core Console Agent Installer on our images for a certain lab. I wanted to then push the Deep Freeze Workstation Client to each lab machine with WOL and a scheduled windows update maitenance embbeded event. I made sure WOL relay was checked for the Core Console Agent Installer, and I setup the Deep Freeze Workstation Client to WAN and put the ip of the server. I gave it a few test and everything seemed ok. I could shutdown both the test laptop and the test desktop as well as wake up the desktops. I setup a scheduled wakeup time and watched the laptop and desktop, both came on. Everything seemed ok. Then I go to try it again and nothing, no response. I recreated the Workstation client and left just the defaul LAN settings, and the samething would happen. It would work sometimes and not work other times. Currently I have: Wakeup workstation: 730am Run Maitenance: 800am Shutdown workstation: 400pm I have a feeling I will get to work tomorrow and it will say workstation was not responding. Anyone have some ideas on this issue? Thanks!

I think I will continue searching around for a VBS script, I found a nice one that cleans up the taskbar and places IE, Windows Explorer, FireFox, Word, Excel, Outlook on it... im sure osmeone has made one for the start menu

These machines will not be on the domain though, Will GP still work?

Not sure if this should be under O/S deployment but I am looking for a way to clear out all the "windows feature" start menu programs (remote desktop, snipping tool, magnifier etc...) I would just like the machines to have word / outlook / excel / powerpoint in the start menu. I would like this to be applied to my base image, so either as a batch file that can run once on initial setup or some other method. Any clues? When i sysprep the machien and remove the shortcuts, then apply the images the short cuts reappear.

Interesting. Ive created my deep freeze client to run maintenance with windows update (it was built in). I have the machines wake up at 10pm (labs close at 9pm) and go into maitenance mode at 1010pm for 1 hour. It seems to work just fine. We have a WSUS server I could use, but I am not in control of it. Do you see any downside to using the built in Windows Update feature in the embedded events tab when creating the installer?

Yea I have the sysprep side down. I am pleased with the results of my Unattend.xml, minus some issues with my vbs autodomain script i got from another thread on here. I will check out RT7Lite

How do you make a single image that works with all the hardware we have around campus. The lenovos do not play well with Windows 7 drivers. Ive seen utilities like UIU which have all the drivers built in it it... what are you using?

Yea, Im learning that our AD guy and old Imaging guy did not communicate enough. Im going to check out our deep freeze enterprise system and see why we never used the feature to push updates through the lab. I guess if I used sysprep and an unattend.xml file for creating the machine images, and pointed it to our WSUS server it would do all the windows updates upon each deployment?

What is every ones approach to maintaining images. We run into the issue that computers come in for repairs (we service the laptops we deploy) and more often than not it is faster to back up the users profile and re-image the computer. It becomes time consuming though since the image might be several months old and require a good bit of windows updates to be performed. Currently we use KACE 2000 to capture / create / deploy images over PXE boot. Unfortunately we do not currently have KACE 1000, which to my understanding can push updates to machines. Ideally I would like two things: (1) Pushing updates at a certain time to machines in Labs. Eg: 3am every 4th Wed. (2) Create an image of a certain machines at the beginning of the year, and then each month simply pushing windows updates and keep the image current. Any suggestions?

So I was having good luck with vbs script posted on the 1st page of this thread. But now im getting this error joining the domain. Error Joing Domain Error Code = 0 why would this be happening now?
