Trying to do a few things the first time a computer boots.
Posted by Andy on March 28th, 2008


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.
