  1. Automate post-installation tasks


    For context I work in a computer shop and we do a lot of installations manually and this takes a lot of time, I already looked into creating a unattended install and now I'm searching for a way to turn off some settings like the window transparency and the background apps automatically, I guess this is probably can be done with power-shell, but I have no idea how to do it.

    Automating installation rename optical and SSD/HDD during post install

    Wow. A script that automates every aspect of the post-install process. *Thumbs Any chance that you could be persuaded to post this script, and explain how you built it up.
     
  3. Automating installation rename optical and SSD/HDD during post install

    This is super simple.

    • I remove/disconnect all drives that is not for the boot drive.
    • I install Windows, reconnect all drive and power up
    • I go into computer management and change letters of drives to be what I want them to be.
    • I then run a huge script that customizes windows settings, installs programs and does a million other things. This script expects specific drives to be in place because the script does several restores. I ALWAYS do clean installs, never in place upgrades.

    All I want to do is change those drive letters from a command line or powershell script I can call from or include in my script. And that most certainly has everything to do with automation.

    At that point I can then use set up complete or autounattend.xml and then there is ZERO manual intervention in the installation process. This turns a 6 hour job into a 5 minute automated process.

    My script automates every aspect of the post installation process of Windows (OOBE and beyond), installation of games and programs, Group Policy settings, registry tweaks, scheduled tasks etc. The only reason it's not totally unattended (or "Automated" as I call it), is because I have to manually intervene to change drive letters.

    Automate post-installation tasks

    How Automate installation of IPFW+DummyNET Driver using comman/ script


    I want to install a NDIS network adapter in windows-7 machine using program/script or any command.

    I need to automate these steps:



    Pull up the properties for the NetworkAdapter that is used to access the Internet
    Click"Install"
    Select"Service" and click "Add"
    Click"Have Disk" and "brows"
    Select the myDriver.inf service (and click through any warnings about the driver being unsigned)
    I follows this process mentioned here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...ing-powershell using power-shell command list. But those commands only compatible with window-8 or better.

    How can i achieve this task in windows-7 64bit. Also tried using PnPUtile.exe, no result.
