maximumpc.com — I'm sure most of you have ran into the hassle of reinstalling windows XP; installing xp, downloading all the drivers and windows updates etc. This guide takes you through steps detailing how to include your drivers and windows updates into your original windows XP cd (called slip-streaming), so your re-installation would be a breeze!

For Vista, I'd recommend using the Business Desktop Deployment kit from Microsoft. It works for XP too, and it's got a hell of a learning curve, but once you understand what it does and how it does it, it's extremely powerful. Updates and Drivers are one thing... BDD will let you slipstream applications on the DVD too.

Terc: That hasnt worked in the last few versions. And actually I'm the one setting it up. The latest version 4.2.0.2 Cant be browser spoofed, it looks at TCP/IP fingerprints. And kevin.exe doesnt work anymore for bypassing logins. We're using it on both faculty and student sides. and looking at deploying thousands of machines nLite looked nice to help slipstream the updates easily for RIS but It wont work in our situation.

helfire,That's interesting... My 3 machines are sitting in a room on a University network _somewhere_ all running on a network "protected" by Clean Access Agent. None have it installed. All have full network access, and have for well over a year. I wouldn't mind if CAA didn't require logins so often (last time I tried it was almost daily, the network was dropping out frequently back then) and what eventually led me to find a way around it was that I wanted to run Windows Server 2k3, (legally, thank you very much). I wasn't allowed access to the network long enough to get updates, so I gave up and decided to find my own way around. I have shared with a few close friends, but won't publicly say just how to get around it until I don't have to deal with the vulnerability getting fixed. I understand why CCA is important on a University network, but I know perfectly well how to keep my computer up to date and secure without being nagged. Personally, I enjoy being able to plug in and be connected without needing extra software or logins.Have a nice day =)

btw, thanks for the kevin.exe info. Hadn't heard of it. Looks like the tcp fingerprinting thing has been fixed in his software <a class="user" href="http://kevin.sourceforge.net/howto.html">http://kevin.sourceforge.net/howto.html</a> Sorry to hijack the thread everyone.

If MS would only stop their marketing shenanigans and release SP3 already...Might want to add those bloody JMicron drivers to it while they're at it!
