=== Copy a Language Pack to the Windows Distribution ===

from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc765987%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

Important: start cmd as Administrator. From the Startmenu, select cmd by right mouse button and select: "Run as Administrator"

Network shares are not available in this environment, so better copy all required files to c:\ before hand.

From Linux:
{{{
# /mnt: mount ISO with Language Packs (SP1)
# $WORK/installfiles: contents of a Win7 SP1 installation DVD

WORK=/tmp/win7

cd $WORK
mkdir langpacks-extracted
cd langpacks-extracted
cabextract /mnt/langpacks/de-de/lp.cab
mkdir -p installfiles/langpacks
rsync -av /mnt/langpacks/de-de installfiles/langpacks/
rsync -av langpacks/de-de/sp1/sources/license/. installfiles/sources/license/.
rsync -av langpacks/de-de/sp1/setup/sources/. installfiles/sources/.

This is not a bug, it is a feature of Windows 7, named UAC (User Account Control).
By default, an application that is started by a user who is a member of the `Administrator` group, is executed with normal (`Users`) priviliges. The user has the oppurtinuty to start that application by right-click and `"Run as Administrator"` without further password queries.

See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709691%28WS.10%29.aspx

== .Net Framework 3.5 ==

is part of the Windows 7 base installation.

== Proxy ==

{{{
netsh.exe winhttp set proxy proxy:3128 "<local>;*.dass-it.de"
}}}

== winlogon ==

when a system has joind a domain, local users are no longer displayed, nor are the domains displayed as select-box.

So, if the users tries to logon as a local user,
he has to select "other user" and type NETBIOSNAME\USERNAME.

However, he can also type
{{{
.\USERNAME
}}}

("." is taken as local system)

The settings from
{{{
hkey_local_machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogon
}}} 
are only partly evaluated.

Last user is now stored at:
{{{
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI]
"LastLoggedOnProvider"=""
"LastLoggedOnSAMUser"=""
"LastLoggedOnUser"=""
}}}
