Trying to do a few things the first time a computer boots.

[Guest Andy]

Hi there all, I finally was able to get my Windows Deployment Services

2008 running, took forever to figure out that if you separate step 1 from

the other steps you can actually have 2 unattend files, d'oh. At any rate!

I'm trying to see if there is anyway to do a few fairly simple things the

'first time' and only the 'first time' the system boots up after the Windows

Deployment Server deploys Server 2008 to it.

 

Basically I want it to Install all updates via Windows Update, remove a

Specific Name Server from the IPv4 settings and clean up all of the files

left over from the WDS installation.

 

I checked the script repo and I didnt see any way to install 'all updates'

from Windows update. I dont want it to enable Windows update on an ongoing

basis, just a one-time download & install.

 

Thanks,

Andy

You're probably thinking of the "RunOnce" facility. Have a look

on Google, or check the registry for this key.
