Windows 7 SYSPREP or Proper Cloning/reimaging of machines.
by Guest Joshua4- 0 replies
- 138 views
Every 3 years we update our computers. With Windows XP we have never had an issue. We use DriveClone Pro by farstone to clone our computers. We setup a "master" computer with the OS settings and user profile setting we like, backup the partition and restore to the new computers. Usually around 130 computers. With Windows XP after re imaging you just ran sysprep and it allowed you type in the COA License for that machine and you were good to go. When running SYSPREP on Windows 7 it makes you create a user. When you type the username it says this account already exist. So you have to create another user name. Then go back in and delete the newly created user. Is there …

I used to be able to rollout a change in Office 2003 to create the value [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Security] "Level"=dword:00000001 Is there a similar change I can do in Word 2010? I can do it in the GUI fine, but i need to roll out the change to numerous PC's. Thanks Continue reading...

I'm looking for some kind of "official" Microsoft documentation or TechNet article explaining the proper process for injecting Windows Updates / Hotfixes into a Windows WIM image to allow me to deploy a version of windows that already has all (or at least most) of the current windows updates. Does anyone know if such a document exists? Or perhaps someone from Microsoft can respond to this post with some well documented steps on how I would accomplish this? Thanks! Continue reading...

Windows 7 AutoLogon
by Guest gjkoz- 0 replies
- 55 views
I work for a public library. My public computers need to autologon to start our PC Reservation client. I used adm files in Windows XP which set the registry keys in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. It worked great in XP, but after rolling our Windows 7, I'm having issues. I've tried this method, as well as setting the registry keys manually. I've tried using the "control userpasswords2" account tool, as well as the Autologon program from Sysinternals. No matter which method I use, windows keeps resetting the value of the AutoAdminLogon registry key to 0 instead of 1, thus disabling auto logon. No matter what I do, it works for a few boots and t…

A friend of mine has an acer 60 GB without any protection since 2006. He had a Norton 2006 but not installed. I installed it but we were told it would be functionnel for 90 days. I suggested to install instead MSE. Both antivirus applications were working. I just noticed that the updating for Norton 6 was frustrating. So I brought a copy of Norton 360 (I am allowed to install it on three laptops) to help clean the computer from the overload of viruses. On restarting the computer, there are no short cuts or any thing on the computer bureau. What can I do ? I have already unistalled Norton 360, but no change happened. urgent Help needed.
