Hi Adam, Please find attached my two Default master Unattended XML Files Which do full automated deployment, Apart from adding it to the Domain and Naming the device, It will select the image, and deploy all you have to do is select the boot.wim for deployment =D Cheers Simon Unattend Files.zip

The way I got my proxy to apply was using an IE8 Configurtion from Group Policy, and did some xml magic and changed the version to MAX 11.0 and it worked put the proxy settings all is working, Might also be helpful to look at this: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/110567-ie10-proxy-setting-windows-7-a.html

Yeah, completely right! My staff laptops are currently standalone. Which is a tad of a pane, But means data is kept safe I guess

Yeah sure, tbh am more active on the Spiceworks than here, So can copy and past material over :-)

This is what i currently have; Default Domain Policy - only touched the password config Default Domain Controller Policy - Not touched it Default Logon Policy - contains Welcome Message for logon, and Firewall and Service configs Workstation Restriciton - Locks down the workstation for end users Internet Explorer Policy - Normal IE Lock down Smoothwall Authentication - Authticated Port 3128 Teacher Folder Redirection - Need i explain? =) Student Folder Redirection - Need i explain? =) Managament Folder Redirection - Need i explain? =) WSUS Workstation - Allows updates for Endpoints WSUS Server - Allows updates for Servers Software Deployment - used for MSI installations, and has various opitons turned on, So end users know whats being install... Verbose mode thingie! Hope this helps =)

Should be using Folder Redirection and Security Groups! Am rebuilding my network over the summer, But with 2008RC2 Enterprise, Can post bits and pieces if needs be? have a far amount on WDS and Unattended installs.

Does it want to reinstall manually? Have you checked the event logs?

What happens if you move one PC to a new OU and block all inherents and just apply the IE GPO

Beat me to it, you need to add your internal range to the proxy bypass

What i found was install WAIK and use DISM to patched the image offline I didnt want to learn a load of cmd lines So i found thus: DISM GUI - Home Gives you a nice UI for using DISM and patching drivers and removing them.

Elevated command line: C:\windows\system32\sysprep>slmgr -rearm -> get an error about maximum number of rearms exceed. Slmgr /dlv confirms it. 2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SoftwhereProtectionPlatform\ SkipRearm from 0 to 1 3. Elevated command line: Run C:\windows\system32\sysprep>slmgr -rearm again and get a success message telling me to restart to apply changes. 5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus CleanupState to 2 and GeneralizationState to 7 6. Run> msdtc -uninstall 6. Run> msdtc -install 8. Restart computer then confirm the Registry values stayed the same 9. Elevated command line: C:\windows\system32\sysprep> sysprep.exe and then run it with /oobe /generalize and shutdown Taken from my personal notes, =D

Yeah you change the install location in steam to D:\ or whatever your 500G Drive is assigned to, then copy the steam games over and rebuild your library.

Just need to do a simple reg hack thingie, Create a Internet Settings config for IE8 Then change this: type="VERSION" gte="1" min="8.0.0.0" max="11.1.0.0" lte="0"/> Internet Explorer 11 Group Policy Preferences There you go! ^^^ Working for me, across IE9-11 with Forced Restrictions and proxy settings.

That's Strange, I've got Folder Redirection and takes about 10/20 seconds to login. After i rebuilt most of the the group policy, left by my predecessor. Hoping to move to a fully visualized system, when i get some new servers as well!
