[THIN] Re: AW: BartPE

Actually I have done considerably more work on this since I wrote to the list.  
So far I have it completely locked down, and have gotten it to work using RIS 
services.

We have a manufacturing client that just upgraded all there office's pc's so we 
have an excess of older computers.  We were thinking of just base neoware 
terminals for the shop, but in order to get all the functionality we needed we 
would have had to go with a thin client with XP, not Linux, or CE. This added 
to the cost.  Everything seems like it will work using Bartpe and RIS as the 
machine do not need CD, hard drive, or floppies.  And if they do break we don't 
care, we just grab another old machine and we are up and running.

The limited process's is not really an issue, I will have to get them to reboot 
at night, but other than that my big problem is getting program neighborhood to 
work.  Direct server connections work, but application set just don't want to 
work.

Any Ideas?

hi eric 

bart´s pe disk works great if your´re looking for an emergency 
boot disk including anti-virus, ghost, disk commander and the 
like. although you can put a pre-configured ica-client into the 
auto-start folder your pc won´t work great as a locked-down xp 
thin-client. the pe disk starts with a switch which allows xp
to boot from cd-rom without a swap-file. unfortunately this
forces the os to stop working after 24 hours and it´s also 
limited to 6 processes. have a look at pxes project instead: 
http://pxes.sourceforge.net/

greets

Hi All,

We have been playing around with BartPE.  Does anyone have a good Config
file example, which launches Program Neighborhood at startup, and locks
down all other options?

Also is it true that it only works for 24 hours, and then requires a
reboot?  Something about a preinstallation environment limitation from
Microsoft?
