Δ DPInst.exe-Driver Installs and Subdirectories
 
How to execute DPInst.exe on all subdirectories
  (useful if you need to install multiple drivers during the imaging/build process)

 
I use this in WDS to install all my 64 bit drivers.  So, how this works is as simple as pointing WDS-Synchronous command to load this .cmd file on first logon.

Δ WSUS Reg Key - Automatic Updates For Clients
 
How to apply custom WSUS settings by registry key
  

 The best way to push down Microsoft WSUS settings to client computers
is by using Microsoft Active Directory Services if your systems are in a
domain or by using the Local Group Policy Object if your workstations are
located on a workgroup. There are some other ways to push down these
settings if you need to do it in some other fashion.
The easiest way would be to create a Registry File called WSUS_Update.reg
to import into your clients, adjusting the settings to correct
 values for your network. Place this file in the root of your systems drive.

 The following is an example of a registry file to create these settings:
  
Reg Key

bar1
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"WUServer"=http://YOUR-WSUS-SERVER
"WUStatusServer"=http://YOUR-WSUS-SERVER
"TargetGroupEnabled"=dword:00000001
"TargetGroup"=Change Group
"ElevateNonAdmins"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000
"AUOptions"=dword:00000004
"AutoInstallMinorUpdate"=dword:00000001
"DetectionFrequencyEnabled"=dword:00000001
"DetectionFrequency"=dword:00000001
"NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000000
"RebootRelaunchTimeout"=dword:000000x5
"RebootRelaunchTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000001
"RebootWarningTimeout"=dword:000000x5
"RebootWarningTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000001
"RescheduleWaitTimeEnabled"=dword:00000001
"RescheduleWaitTime"=dword:0000001e
"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000
"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:0x14
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000001
"LastWaitTimeout"=-
bar1


In this example, you would need to change the TargetGroup to match
your environment settings. Also, the WUServer and WUStatusServer would
need to be changed to your Microsoft WSUS server. I put these setting in
bold type face above to help you find them. You could easily go to each
workstation and import this file into each workstation's registry. I would
recommend using a script file instead and use it to import the registry
file and restart the Windows Update service on the client workstation.
You would need to create the script with a CMD or BAT extension to run properly.

An example script is below, this script assumes the registry file
WSUS_Update.REG is in the root of the systems drive:

bar1
Net Stop wuauserv
Echo Importing WSUS_Update.REG
%windir%\Regedit.exe /s C:\WSUS_Update.REG
Echo WSUS.reg imported succesfully
Net Start wuauserv
 bar1

As you can see, there are other ways to change the WSUS settings
on a client without using Active Directory Group Policy Objects or Local
Group Policy Objects

Δ Collect PST Information And Send To LANDesk
 
How to collect local PST information and return data to LANDesk
  
[Link to files]

 How would you use LANDesk to find the name, size, and path of PST files in your organization?  This VBScript is an excellent example of how LANDesk Management Suite can be extended with scripts to gather and query just about any random chunk of data. Distribute the contents of the Files.zip to your client's c:\Program Files\Landesk\ldclient directory.  Send a script to extract the files.zip in the LDClient directory and you can automatically run an inventory scan using the ldiscn32.exe in your script. Then create a query from the Management Suite to query your enterprise machines using Custom Data - Email PST.

If you want to test the files before deploying via LANDesk, just copy the ScanPST.vbs file to your LDClient folder, and run.  It will create the pstreport.dat, and depending on the on the speed of your machine, it will eventually populate the results to the .dat file.  You can monitor the process in task manager as wmiprvse.exe - NETWORK SERVICE.  Once the process is complete, force an inventory scan, and watch your inventory results populate your new PST information into the SQL database.


 VBScript: scanpst.vbs
