I found the application nvspbind that I could use to disable or enable the following stuff:

• Broadcom Advanced Server Program Driver
• Brocade 10G Ethernet Service
• Intel(R) Advanced Network Services Protocol
• Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver
• Client for Microsoft Networks
• NetBIOS Interface
• WINS Client(TCP/IP) Protocol
• QoS Packet Scheduler
• Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder
• File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
• Microsoft NetbiosSmb
• Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
• Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
• Microsoft Virtual Network Switch Protocol

I’ve put them all together in a batch script:

REM vms_pp (Microsoft Virtual Network Switch Protocol)
"%~DP0nvspbind.exe" /d "%lan%" vms_pp


That’s it!

Download RSAT here.

* Unpack the .MSU with 7zip or another unzip utility to let’s say c:\TEMP\RSAT.
* use the package manager for the install:

pkgmgr.exe /n:%temp%\RSAT\Windows6.1-KB958830-x64.xml

* Now watch the taskmanager the process pkgmgr.exe until it automatically closes (this will take several minutes).
* Go to the control panel and in Programs and Windows Features you can add the desired feature you want.

Note: when you’ve got RSAT installed on your computer prior installing Windows 7 SP1, then RSAT will already be available and you don’t need this workaround.

What seems to be a major problem is ‘remembering’ the default printer when using replace option. The default behavour of Windows is the first added printer is being set as the default.
To resolve this, i’ve created a script (with some help from a great collegue). You do need te have a roaming profile or a tool like Immidio profiles to save current use keys. Add the logon.vbs and the logoff.vbs scripts to the user policy.

Set the c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe as application with the logon.vbs as a parameter.

 logon.vbs

Option Explicit
Dim wshShell, strSavekey, strPrtName, objNetwork
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Save default printer login script written by
'Sebastiaan van Weelden and Edward Dijk
'Ictivity 2011
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
' Set string values
strSaveKey = "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Ictivity\"
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strPrtName = WshShell.RegRead (strSaveKey & "Printer Name")
'wscript.echo strPrtName
'Add 4 seconds delay so the printers can be added by the policy
WScript.Sleep(4000)
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strPrtName

'Exit script
WScript.Quit

Logoff.vbs reads the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Device and cuts it into pieces.
It creates some keys in hkey_current_user\software\ictivity.
These keys are being ‘read’ at logon and after a while (this time can be set in logon.vbs) the last used printer is set as default.

logoff.vbs

Option Explicit
Dim strKey, wshShell, strSavekey, strPrtName, strPrtSpool, strPrt
Dim strValue
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Save default printer logout script written by
'Sebastiaan van Weelden and Edward Dijk
'Ictivity 2011
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
' Set string values
strSaveKey = "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Ictivity\"
strPrtName = "Printer Name"
strPrt = "Printer Port"
strPrtSpool = "Spooler"
' Create WScript Shell object to read the registry
Set wshShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
' Read the current default printer from registry
strKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft" _
& "\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Device"
strValue = Split( wshShell.RegRead( strKey ), "," )
'Write Printer Name
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Ictivity\" & strPrtName, strValue(0), "REG_SZ"
'Write Spooler
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Ictivity\" & strPrtSpool, strValue(1), "REG_SZ"
'Write Printer Port
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Ictivity\" & strPrt, strValue(2), "REG_SZ"
'Exit script
WScript.Quit

The last thing to do is changing the computer policy. Windows will refresh the policy en thereby also readd the printers. This will result in a wrong default printer.
Change the following setting in the computer policy:

Good luck!

Special thanx to my script buddy Edward Dijk

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might
be the
cause. File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe Status: 0xc0000225 Info:

The Solution was very simple:
Execute the following commands before sealing your image with sysprep:

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device boot
bcdedit /set {default} device boot
bcdedit /set {default} osdevice boot

Now you’ll be able to deploy your image to the workstations!

You definitely don’t want this behaviour!

Apparently this is by design http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947222.
When you take a look at this article you really want to choose between creating a subfolder under the redirected folder in the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path.

For example, the following UNC path: \\server\users\username\Documents

The best method is the third one from the article: Do not grant the Read permission to the administrator for the Desktop.ini files on the server.

To do this, follow these steps:
Note If more than one Desktop.ini file exists, follow these steps for all the Desktop.ini files.
Right-click the Desktop.ini file, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
In the Group or user names pane, click Administrators.
Click to select the Deny check box for the Read permission.
Click OK.

You can also use this great PowerShell scipt:
$folders = Get-ChildItem | where-object {$_.psiscontainer};
foreach ($folder in $folders)
{
$desktopIni = Get-ChildItem $folder -Filter desktop.ini -Force
if ($desktopIni -ne $null)
{
$Acl = Get-Acl $desktopIni.FullName
$Ar = New-Object system.security.accesscontrol.filesystemaccessrule `
("groupName","Read","Deny")
$Acl.SetAccessRule($Ar)
Set-Acl $desktopIni.FullName $Acl
}
}

Thanx to this great blog by Richard Willis!!

Here’s the solution:
Import the following registry key:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SysTray" /v Services /t REG_DWORD /d 31 /f

Start the following program:
c:\WINDOWS\system32\systray.exe

Voilà !

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

For Each objSMBIOS in colSMBIOS
Wscript.Echo "Part Number: " & objSMBIOS.PartNumber
Wscript.Echo "Serial Number: " & objSMBIOS.SerialNumber
Wscript.Echo "Asset Tag: " & objSMBIOS.SMBIOSAssetTag

When i visit customers, i always need to fill in a proxy server. This was exactly the problem, and as i don’t frequently use Internet Explorer this problem occured. I was able to solve it by simply deleting the folowing registry key:

Then i restarted the windows update service and checked for updates. yet another problem solved

The cause was a old raid driver nvata.inf (date 2006) which belongs to the nForce4 chipset.
With the new driver (DriverVer=08/18/2008,10.3.0.42) it was all working fine. I downloaded it from www.nvidia.com

Using devcon, I updated the existing devices:

devcon update C:\Drv\B2\nvgts.inf  ”PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0266&SUBSYS_01EC1028&REV_A1″
devcon update C:\Drv\B2\nvgts.inf  ”PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0267&SUBSYS_01EC1028&REV_A1″

Start Orca and open the “ZENworks Security Client.msi” and select “transforms”, followed by “new transform”.
Now browse to the table “property” and change the value of “STRBR” and change the value “Force” into “ReallySuppress”.

Click transform and close transform. Voila!
