Re: OSD with ZTI - loading applications

Actually, you can run a separate instance of osdSWDExec.exe after the
state restore phase is complete and rebooted into the GUI (that is
installing apps without OSD nor advertisments or collections etc)
The syntax for osdSWDExec.exe is:
osdSWDExec.exe PackageID:ProgramnName Commandline
If you contact me at myitforum.com (user jarwidmark) I can send you a
vbscript that connects to the SMS database and automatically installs
an array of additional applications by querying the SMS database for
their commandline. You only need to specify the PackageID:ProgramName.
If you're going to MMS 2006 this script will also available on commnet
(My session is named "OSD FP Internals - A geeks guide to the Galaxy")

I'm having a hard time deciding where to place the install of
applications within the OSD process with ZTI. Here's my scenario:
My WIM image has only XP SP2 and Office 2003. I have 37 applications
that make up our enterprise base layer applications. All these
applications are part of our current Ghost image which I'm replacing
with WIM. My goal was to pull these out of the WIM and have them
loaded post-image so that when the packages update or go away I don't
have to update the image itself so often.
To the problem... I want all these apps to load in a specific sequence
with one reboot about halfway through. There are 3 or 4 of them that
will not load during the StateRestore phase because this phase loads
apps prior to the shell loading fully. These problem child apps are
complex ones that install services and/or do work with domain ID's for
the services or permissions, etc. Ideally if I can get those 3 or 4
working in StateRestore I'll add them to that phase, but I want to have
an alternative as well.
If I have them run from POST2.BAT or some other script outside of the
ZTI process then I cannot install them using the SMS packages.
Does anyone have any recommendations on this or have examples of how
you structured the install of your applications in an OSD/ZTI scenario?
Thanks for the help.
