Nice and easy and has what ya need

Just wait until you need a bell or whistle now...

I dont have the patience or tenacity to go through all that process.

Id rather have an uber machine that copes with anything thrown at it and still flies along, even if Im unnecessarily wasting resources. Computers are too powerful these days for me to care about scraping the last few parts of a cycle spare.

Agreed.


However - I reckon I could be bothered to do it once to make a standard build for all our laptops at work. Weve some really old ones and people are always complaing about performance - could be a good idea.

Would have been quicker to just install FreeBSD

Thus the reason Im dual booting :-)  Got another less tweaked setup just incase

Infact Im tempted to trash that second install and try out my Windows Server 2008 trial disc.

Right - iv been having a play with this nLite program which is excellant! But iv got a couple of problems with it - when i came to testing my Unnatended version of windows it all ran fine up to just before the windows set up finished and it asked me whether i wanted to be part of a domain or just click no and just name the non grouped computer as WORKGROUP (basically the black dot was already on the no option but it still wanted me to give a name) and also it came up asking me to create a name for the computer (but i thought i had already altered all both of these options so they shouldnt of appeared!!) Have i done anything wrong or have i missed out an option? Basically everything else like my own user account, regional setting etc all worked fine,

EDIT - this is what i was on about the WORKGROUP option, its the same as this except the next button was greyed out unless i gave the No option a name - and i still didnt want this screen to appear at all



Lastly the second thing that i was on about was this screen that showed up too,

I thought i had already set this up on the unnatended options so why has it still came up??





Thanks - Liam

Tell them to spend out on some new ones companys are always too cheap when it comes to IT

quite often, though there is something satisfying in handing a manager a real POS lappy when theirs has "Broken" if you know it only broke because they know you just took delivery of a shedload of shiny new kit.  *fondly remembers handing someone an M2 in exchange for the M3 that had*
