If I can remember *right*, you can put ntfs security on the images but you can still boot an intial image and run a Shift-F10 I think and launch a shell which you can do anything with. Lame...
The name issue is known to MS, they so mucked that up. I was provided a zillion line vbs script by an escalation tech that I never bothered to use. jlc ________________________________ From: Miller Bonnie L.

But we’re running in mixed mode (still using RIS), and AFAIK, the permissions are done the same way. On the drive (the one with SIS) where you are storing the files, change the NTFS permissions of the Remoteinstall folder and the share permissions for the REMINST share. For ours, I set up two global groups that we use—one to read and one to modify. Users that need access get put in one of the two groups. -Bonnie From: Matthew W. Ross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 2:49 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: WDS Questions Greetings. Anybody here have experiance with Windows Deployment Services? I have some questions. 1. How do I setup security on WDS? Right now, it looks like any user could boot up off of PXE and either capture or install an image. 2. I want Vista to ask me for the name of the system I am deploying during the OOBE. I have an ImageUnattended.xml file setup for it (applied via WDS to the specific image), and I've kept the computer name blank... but the image I'm testing picks up the computers name from when it was sysprep'ed, plus a number. (for example, If I image 3 computers, they will get the names of 'oldname1', 'oldname2', and 'oldname3'.) I realized after the fact that I syspreped the machine while it was a member of the Active Directory, and it seems to have somehow used the previous credentials to bind after being imaged. If I have to, I'll have the computers be re-named by hand after imaging... but I'm just curious. Thanks for any thoughts. --Matt Ross ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
