pollewops,

Yes, you could boot to WinPE and create a WIM of the factory partition supplied by HP. Just store it on a share somewhere or copy it to a UFD attached to the device.

I'm not sure why I don't get an email notification about new comments in here. Sorry about that.

HTH,

Brad

Hi Brad,

i have a pre-installed ThinClient from HP...wil it be possible to ImageX that pre-installed XPembedded build and then roll it out using WinPE on different machines ?

And then of cource by using e.g. a HTA changing the name, applications on it and so on...

Thanks in advance

rbshen, take a look at startnet.cmd. It gets loaded when WinPE boots.

Thanks, I already found the command, it is diskpart /s <script file>

Now I'm looking for a way to automatise all the way from boot up. Bt I can't figure our how winpe launches a batch file after boot.

rbshen,

Here's detail on scripting with the diskpart command. Let me know how it works since I haven;t tried it myself but I'll need to do this in a couple weeks.

Regards,

John

Will it be possible to execute the diskpart command in a batch file? What I want to do is to fully automatise the imaging process, thanks

Aren't you missing an assign command before you exit the diskpart utility and format the disk?
