you are thinking of going to Vista as few programs will do it. WinPE is in
the Windows Automation toolkit. PE stands for PreExecution environment by the
way and is a mini OS that you can do a whole lot in prior to setting up the
machine.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

prior to vista;s release about it....hope it helps. Note also Service Pack 1
Beta for Vista was released just today and some very good administrative
additions. It will be welcome when it is released to public. Those of you using
Altiris there is $3.00 disk you can buy that has a special version of
WinPE that works better and is easier to set up with Altiris than the base PE.

<P>Hi All, </P>
<P>I have spoken about the new Pre execution enviroment (2.0) that will be
available when Windows Vista Releases and this weeks download pick it <SPAN

Windows Automated Installation Toolkit which allows you to create a Vista PE
Environment. You'll need the toolkit, a Windows Vista DVD (just released in
Technet plus if you get it) , a Technician Computer, Master computer, a
Floppy/USB stick and a blank CD/R disk to do this. (obviously your machine will
also need at least a CDR burner. </P>
<P>In Mark Minasi's latest newsletter in the Tech section portion at <A
href="http://www.minasi.com/newsletters/nws0701.htm">http://www.minasi.com/newsletters/nws0701.htm</A>
Rhonda Layfield has wrote an excellent article on how to make a PE boot disk.
This is a must read and print out and save article for any tech! </P>
<P>The article does not include the link to the WAIK but here it is: </P>

<P>Microsoft also has a page set up for Vista downloads with many other items of

<P>One in particular that people should be looking at is the Windows Vista
Upgrade Advisor. This utility tells you what you need to do to get your computer
ready for Vista. I can save people a lot of time... don't even bother unless
your workstation has at least 512 MB of memory. <A
