Thanks for the update on Vista. Should be very useful for my next Vista
deployment.
As I understand it, Unattended uses FreeDOS as its launching pad to
kickstart your Windows deployment. A Vista installation cannot be initiated
from a DOS-based session; instead WinPE v2.0 is required. I don't think
it's feasible to use Linux as an alternative but I've been proven wrong
before.
Because of M$ licensing restrictions, Unattended would probably not be
allowed to bundle WinPE in its arsenal. Instead only tools and/or
instruction how to build your WinPE image to make it Unattended-compatible
can be provided.

Hi all,
maybe some of you use my script appsonly.bat for application only
deployment, see here:

I've done some tests on Vista, there are some things to consider here:
1. switch off user account control before using appsonly.bat
2. use this reg file to allow your computer to run programs from UNC
paths:
---snip---
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations]
"DefaultFileTypeRisk"=dword:00001808
"LowRiskFileTypes"=".exe;.bat;.cmd;.pl"
---snip---
3. make some additions to todo.pl (maybe someone could fix this in CVS?)
---snip---
elsif ($product_name eq 'Microsoft Windows XP') {
$os = 'winxp';
}
elsif ($product_name eq 'Microsoft Windows Server 2003') {
$os = 'ws2k3';
}
elsif ($product_name eq 'Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2') {
$os = 'ws2k3';
}
elsif ($product_name eq 'Windows Vista (TM) Business') {
$os = 'vista';
}
elsif ($product_name eq 'Windows Vista (TM) Ultimate') {
$os = 'vista';
}
---snip---
BTW, is there any development regarding Vista OS (+ apps) deployment
with Unattended?
Regards
Gerhard
