On March 21, the first day of MMS 2011, I announced the immediate availability of the Deployment Research blog and Deployment Research Facebook page. Sites filled with video-tutorials on how to deploy operating systems. Information about this new site, as well a bunch of other deployment related community sites was by the way also printed (thank you FedEx) and put in the attendee-bag (Thank you Microsoft) for every MMS 2011 attendee, about 4000 people.

This also means that the deployvista.com blog will not be much active anymore. It will still exist, but the content will gradually be migrated over to the new site, cleaned-up and converted into the new format…

Happy deployment, and I hope to see you online in the forums…

You might have noticed when you create entries in bcd using bcdedit, it assigns guid's to the entry, that you need to reference for any following settings you add.

By using a batchfile and som clever for, do command you don't have to type in the guid...

Sample batchfile

set BCD-File=C:\Demo\bcd

for /f "tokens=1-3" %%a in ('Bcdedit /store %BCD-File%  /create /d "WinPE x86" /application osloader') do set guid1=%%c

Bcdedit /store %BCD-File% /set %guid1% systemroot \Windows

Please note that the second line has been wrapped and should be entered as one command...
