Deployment winembedded

If you want the computer name to randomly change, then you should use the
keepall switch.

The System Cloning Component supports calls to a custom DLL. You can develop
a custom DLL that performs a EWF commit during FBreseal. I wrote about the
solutiopn in XPe Supplemental Toolkit book.

My mistake. You shouldn't use the keepall. My mind is already on
vacation....

Take a look at the CD contents for the book:
http://www.sjjmicro.com/XPES.html for the DLL.

thanks for your help. But I'm still wondering wouldn't it be possible to let
a CMD-script execute on first boot? (like: ewfmgr c: -enable). Do you no how
to run a script only on first boot?

Thanks for any response,

Certainly, you could run a VBscript that executes ewfmgr.exe during FBA. I
would setup a component with either a FBA Generic command or RUN once
resource to execute the script.
Since you have the System Cloning Tool, the DLL route is easier, unless
there is something else in your application that you want to use the script
for.
