That makes perfect sense. I've looked quickly at the boot entry on a win 8 host. Nothing obvious.
I guess it changed something on the host itself then. Anyone with any details? How could this be scripted without using that exe?

AFAIK, the enableBootRedirect only applies to Win8x host machines; with Win7 you still have to have USB before HDD in the boot order to have it automatically boot into WTG. -Phil _________________________________________________________________ Phil Schwan | Technical Architect, Enterprise Windows Services Project Leadership Associates | 2000 Town Center, Suite 1900, Southfield, MI 48075 Lync: 312.756.1626 Mobile: 419.262.5133 <http://www.projectleadership.net/> www.projectleadership.net Lead with Strategy.
