Optiplex 9020 MT Ethernet problem on Win 7 Pro

To include a software package using the Windows 7 RunOnce function, you can follow these steps:

1. Add the software installer to the appropriate folder:
   • Create a folder named "software" in the "$OEM$$1" directory of your Windows 7 installation media#
   • Copy the software installer to this folder.
2. Modify the OOBE script:
   • Navigate to "$OEM$$$\Setup\Scripts" in your installation media
   • Edit the "OOBE.cmd" file
3. Add RunOnce commands to the OOBE script:
   • Use the following format for each software package
     
     text

     reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v "InstallSoftwareName" /t REG_SZ /d "C:\software\installer.exe /silent" /f

   • Replace "InstallSoftwareName" with a descriptive name and "installer.exe" with the actual installer filename.

To add a function to RunOnce in Windows 7, follow these steps:

1. Open the Registry Editor by typing "regedit" in the Start menu search bar and pressing Enter.
2. Navigate to the following key:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

1. Right-click on the RunOnce key, select "New," and then "String Value."
2. Name the new value (e.g., "MyFunction") and press Enter.
3. Double-click the new value and set its data to the command you want to run. For example:
   "C:\Path\To\Your\Program.exe" [arguments]

The command will run once when the next user logs in, and then the entry will be automatically deleted

.

Important considerations:

• Ensure the command path is correct and doesn't exceed 260 characters.
• The RunOnce key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE will only execute for members of the Administrators group.
• For non-admin users, use the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce key instead.
• To defer deletion of the value until after the command runs, prefix the value name with an exclamation point .

Remember that using RunOnce means the command will execute only once after the next system restart or user logon, depending on the key location used
