Sorry, it&#039;s only in German, but shows all features and switches maybe also an idea for Bashrat to integrate that feature ? (will fwd. it to the right topic)</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I have been using version 6.07 and earlier with great success.&nbsp; The great success is because I have been able to perform unattended installs on just about any piece of hardware.</p><p>As you know, the downside of unattended installs is the time required. Thus, I have been creating SYSPREP ghost images for rapid deployment on just about any piece of hardware (Great thing is that you only need two images to support a lot of hardware....One of the images is constructed on a legacy ACPI HAL and the second one on a MULTIPROCESSOR ACPI HAL).</p><p>For SYSPREP&#039;ing, I have been using the following procedure:<br />1) Create an unattended install with KTD enabled that only includes the driver packs for CPU, Chip Set, Mass Storage<br />2) Copied the remaining driver packs to \OEM2 (Graphics, Sound, LAN, WLAN)<br />3) Split the 6.07 &quot;DPs_fnsh.cmd&quot; command into two separate parts: &quot;DPs_fnsh1.cmd&quot; and &quot;DPS_fnsh2.cmd&quot;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; DPs_fnsh1 would move all of the \OEM2 files to the \OEM folder<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; DPs_fnsh1 would integrate all of the driver packs located in \OEM<br />4) Modify GUIRunOnce or cmdlines.txt to only execute DPs_fnsh1.cmd<br />5) Load the modified unattended install on a donor computer.&nbsp; The donor computer will only have drivers for CPU, ChipSet and MassStorage.<br />6) The donor computer has SYSPREP tools installed.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; Modify SYSPREP CMDLINES.TXT that would also execute DPS_fnsh2.cmd at the end of SYSPREP<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; Modify SYSPREP.INF that has BuildMassStorage=Yes<br />7) Execute SYSPREP.EXE with the options to use mini-setup, redect pnp, regen SID, shutdown<br />8) After shutdown, capture GHOST image<br />9) Load GHOST image on target computer<br />10) Start the target computer, which executes the SYSPREP mini-setup<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; The detection of plug-n-play hardware occurs during the mini-setup and all of the integrated driver packs are used.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; At the end of mini-setup, DPSFnsh2 would install the graphics control panel and sound control panel based on the hardware of the target computer.</p><p>This was easily accomplished with 6.07 and earlier because the source for DPs_fnsh.cmd was available.</p><p>Is it possible to achieve this behavior the new 6.08 DPsFnshr.exe?&nbsp; &nbsp;Maybe DPsFnshr.exe can be split into two sections... or add a parm to DPsFnshr.ini and allow for an option to indicate which ini file to use (DPsFnshr.exe -inifile=filename).</p><p>Thanks again and great work!</p>]]></content>
