boot.wim update with 755 NIC drivers

I have added the NIC drivers for the new Dell OptiPlex 755's to the boot
image (boot.wim) on Spaceship. This allows for a 755 to be net booted
and pull down out Windows image from the server.

I have NOT updated the drivers in the Windows image itself yet.

Mac Updates

We have updated Firefox to version 2.0.0.12 and NeoOffice to version 2.2.2 Patch 11.

Admin Desktop Change

I have added a conditional statement to the postflight batch file. If a
PC has the file c:\windows\sites\log\admindesktop.log on it, postflight
skips the PowerShell script that deletes profiles. The Admin Desktop
settings GPO (which runs before postflight) has a script in it that
writes this log file.

Changes to PC Environment 2/6/2008

* Modified the ccs-’07-’08-enounce2xav-software GPO to import additional registry settings during the logon script.

 

The additional entries prevent Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer from invoking the 2xAV audio renderer. The change was made to correct a problem where the Enounce 2xAV for Real Player software caused a crash in the Med School Professional Skill Builder application.
