Need help with sysprep.

I'm preparing an image for deployment so our developers can have a windows testing environment on their computers within a VM. I need this to be completely automated for future tasks as well. I'm having a few issues with joining the domain and changing the computer name though. Our naming convention needs to be host-win7vm Eg. Simon-win7vm We've developed a way to get the name through cmd so we don't need separate answer files for each computer. for /f "delims=" %a in ('c:\windows\system32\webfetch.exe websiteurl.php') do @set VMHOST=%a-win7vm This gets the host name from a website we set up and assigns it to the VMHOST variable and adds -win7vm to the en…

I received this message "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a broblem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card." My questioni is - doesen't Windows Media Player come with a driver. If it doesn't then what is the point of installing it. Where do I get this driver without it costing me. I shouldn't have to pay - it should come with the program. Continue reading...

full uninstall norton and best alternative
by Guest rosselop- 0 replies
- 137 views
I think I might uninstall Norton IE Security. Since upgrading Norton to 2012 from 2011 I have been unable to stream music. I went back to 2011 and its all good again. I have read that Norton can be a problem in other ways and that it might be hard to do a total uninstall. Does the latest Norton Uninstall tool do a complete job? If not how can I make sure it is fully uninstalled. what other (hopefully free) alternatives do people here use? The main reason I have stuck with Norton is because of its automatic login service, where it remembers your logins etc. Thanks Continue reading...

Trying to install Windows Mobile Device Center says device is unplugged
by Guest Mary_Anne T- 0 replies
- 423 views
Hi, I just got a USB cable for my T-mobile phone. When I connect the phone to my 64 bit Windows 7 PC, it only shows files to download a driver (not the files on my phone). The driver is ActiveSync, which I think, does not work with my computer. In the error message when I tried to install it and in some internet search, it said I should use Windows Mobile Device Center, so I downloaded 64 bit version of it (it said it was for Vista, but I read somewhere that it should work with Windows 7 as well). When I try to install it, it says that the device is unplugged and it gives a red X. When I look in My Computer and Device Manager, the device is showing. Although it is…

Full Scan frequently needed while using Microsoft Security Essential - Potentially Unprotected!
by Guest Syahmi- 0 replies
- 129 views
original title: Potentially Unprotected! Hi, I used Microsoft Security Essentials for about a year and i face this problem. I always had to do a quick scan because the Anti-Virus said "Potentially Unprotected". It always work but everyday when i turn on my computer it will show "Potentially Unprotected" Status. So yesterday i did a Full Scan which took about 3-5 hours but the problem was not resolve. I like how the Anti-Virus does not lag my Netbook running on Intel Atom Inside with 2GB Ram. So i wish someone can help me with this problem. I don't want to go back to using Norton which to me is a virus itself as it lags my Netbook. Please help me! Thanks, Syahmi …

Possible to use drivers from host computer in WinPE?
by Guest Wolfhound- 0 replies
- 116 views
Hi I was wondering if it were possible to configure PE to use the drivers from the host computer? I am aware that I can inject drivers into PE but I am having issues with that approach - not all of the drivers for the hardware are being loaded correctly. The goal of the PE environment is for it to be a diagnostic environment I can run a series of tests to confirm faults but it needs to run a wide variety of hardware configurations. Currently I can get some hardware working ok but I get the impression that PE isn't detecting all the hardware and installing drivers. I have injected a large number of drivers using driverpacks which has a side effect of being slow to b…

I am trying to print a web form with images. Images are set with the use of tags. Src of img tags have reference to different images in a server with https:// protocol. When I have loaded the form, i can see all images being load successfully. But when I printed the form it does not have those images with I have tried setting up "print background colors and images" in print settings. But it didn't solve the issue. This is not happening in IE8. IE8 prints all images without even checking the print setting. IE9 does not seem to grab the image when it is being sent to print. I have also tested this with Chrome and Firefox. Both works fine. I am not sure whether this is…

Severe Virused ALLOWED!?!
by Guest getitrightthefirsttime- 0 replies
- 135 views
After I have completed a full scan, there are some viruses that were "allowed": -TrojanDowloader :QT/Waick.A -Trojan:Win32/KillProc.A Both 'Severe'. Also, the latter was the second of 2 with the exact virus name, and the first of 2 WAS removed. Why is MSE allowing these severe viruses, and how can I change the action taken on individual viruses to "remove" if I do not agree the action taken by MSE? Please note, in Settings/ Default Actions, all are set to 'Remove' and 'Apply Recommended Actions', as well, there is nothing set to be excluded from these actions. Thank you. PLEASE NOTE: Do not know if Beta or not??????????? I have selected Not Beta in ord…
