Thank you for the response. That worked out great for me.

Hello Everyone. I am working on deploying windows 7 using SCCM2007R2. During my deployment I need to add several shortcuts to the special folder ALLUSERSDESKTOP and i also need to write to the runonce registry key. This has failed time and time again for me. When i finally checked the logs and manually running the script on a freshly imaged machine. I was getting an access denied error. I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand with getting this task completed. Is it possible to write to these locations during OSD? I am trying to accomplish this using VBscripts. Thank you in advance for taking a look.

Would you mind sharing that kill script?

Yes it helps. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

First, Hello Everyone. I have used all the helpful info i have found here on Windows-noob.com to get my mind wrapped around deploying windows. I am having a couple problems with the installation of Symantec Endpoint Protection during my deployment. I have trying deploying it in two different ways: 1. By creating a software package 2. scripting it into the runonce key so that it runs after windows reboots. The first fails because after SEP installs it starts to run live update and forces my Task sequence to time out. The second doesn't work because when the script tries to write to the runonce key I get an access denied error. Also after my OS Task Sequence has run and i log into the desktop for the first time is it normal to alreay have 3 - 4 updates already there installing and asking me to reboot? I am still pretty new to this and appreciate any help or point in the right direction any of you could provide. thanks.
