I am asking this because I am the Systems Admin for a small elementary school (about 100 PC's, various models) and I would like to be able to build one universal image that I can use on any computer in the building when something goes wrong. It is very tedious to re-install windows and all of the necessary apps every time a student decides to mess something up. This would be a great time saver, thanks for all of your help.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712064456696475173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36292293.post-28846397887791401962008-11-19T22:30:00.000-05:002008-11-19T22:30:00.000-05:00Instead of using OEMPnpDriversPath, use this nifty...Instead of using OEMPnpDriversPath, use this nifty utility, put all your drivers in a directory with subdirectorys and use the utility to identify them all and import it to your registry, you can then eliminate the OEMPnPDriversPath from the sysprep.ini file and there's no character limit either!!<BR/>http://www.vernalex.com/tools/spdrvscn/index.shtmlUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538408788603783518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36292293.post-48933513950217749202008-11-14T09:23:00.000-05:002008-11-14T09:23:00.000-05:00Wow amazing document man.,.

Ive run into the stop 0x7b when trying to deploy the image on an NVidia chipset/SATA. The drivers are properly linked in sysprep.inf but I keep getting BSOD during first boot.

Installed them into SP2.CAB and DRIVERS.CAB located in c:\windows\driver cache\i386 added OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=Yes to sysprep.ini. By doing this halacpi.dll will be used no matter what file the setup is requesting. By adding the overwrite line in sysprep.ini you're not asked about overwriting any files. Now I truly have one image to go on all the desktops and all the laptops where I work.

It's asking me if I want to overwrite the newer file with an older file. I figured out how to resolve the issue I had, I hacked the dlls with a resource hack and put them into SP2.CAB and DRIVER.CAB, now I'm facing the question if I want to overwrite the file. When I answer YES, the setup continues and completes. If I answer NO, the setup fails.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538408788603783518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36292293.post-74312016008117713752008-04-10T14:03:00.000-04:002008-04-10T14:03:00.000-04:00upon further investigation I have discovered going...upon further investigation I have discovered going to the properties>version>internal name of HAL.DLL the value shows as halaacpi.dll.

The Oemdriverpath statement has a limitation of like 256 characters I think so what we have done to get around that is add the driver path directly to the registry which also has its limits but they are much higher the registy key you need is <BR/>[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]<BR/>the key is Devicepath<BR/>add your driver paths into that key and export it. You can then import it into any image you are building. What we do is create a system hidden folder on the drive called D and under that folder we have folders created 1-99 we put each driver into its own folder and have text file that we update that tells what drivers are in which folder just for our own purpose so we know where they are if we need to update them. The reason for using D and then numbers for the folder names is they take up less characters since you are still limited in the amount of chracters you can use this gives you plenty of room to grow should you need to add drivers. we are currently using I belive 55 of the 99 folders when we need to add any we just add them into the next available folder and put that in the image. The driver path is already in there so no need to change anything else windows will find the drivers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08853079215115319268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36292293.post-23851095004760047262007-05-24T09:00:00.000-04:002007-05-24T09:00:00.000-04:00Heya, Thanks for sharing.I have two problems.

How is a "universal image" created on a pentium chipset going to work on a AMD chipset? Or even a Asus board w/p4HT transferred to a intel board w/core2duo? <BR/><BR/>What about when youve preloaded your nvidia drivers only to end up loading the image on a system with an ATI card? You would end up with a system thats looking for a nvidia card which will only add to the time of uninstalling those drivers and locating/installing the ATI drivers, and thats best case scenario. <BR/><BR/>Im not attacking your idea, i love the concept of a universal image, but it seems that instead of adding drivers for an undefined system (you dont know what systems you will be installing them on) you should try to remove all the data that is tied to the HAL and all the other stuff that keeps images from being universal. What would happen if you loaded a windows image that had all data linking to the hardware removed?<BR/><BR/>It would be nice if one could assign the hardware to the OS in post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
