Integrate apps into image with DISM

Does DISM have ability to integrate apps into Windows 7 image? In the most cases I have seen DISM used for integrating updates and drivers into os image but very rarely for integrating apps. Only allowed file extension is, if I am right, .msp so .exe and
.msi are out of question. One more thing - do I have to care about switches for silent apps installation (in MDT 2012 if app has silent switches then the rest of the job is more or less easy)? If so how to pass these switches to non .exe or .msi app package.
After reading many books and forums it seems that the most efficient way of deploying images with integrated apps is by having a reference computer with all apps installed, syspreping that computer, capturing image of it with DISM and deploying captured
image to target computers. If I understood well, every partition can be captured including a 100 MB System Reserved partition, not only partition with os which is very good.

Practically this means apps packaged in .exe or .msi are always installed via postosinstallation task - i did that via MDT 2012 for many apps like adobe reader, .net framework, java, silverlight, ms office, symantec endpoint protection, 7zip . . . Speaking
of System Partition, will it be automatically created when deploying captured image to target computer and what about Windows/Office activation - those keys will be "removed" during sysprep of reference computer - I use MAK activation for Windows 7 and KMS
for Office?
We have HP 6000, 6200 and 6300 pro sff models at our disposal - since the first two have 2 GB of RAM I am installing x86 flavour of Windows 7 Pro with SP1 on them. On the latter one I am installing Windows 7 Pro with SP1 x64 (it has 4 Gigs of RAM). Depending
on who I am preparing computer for, there is two variants - one with MS Office and the other with Open Office. So I should have at least 6 images. Luckily HP 6300 pro sff has recovery disks thus giving me ability to do factory reset - that is ok but that image
dates back to 2012 so there are bunch of Windows Updates waiting to be install after factory reset has been done.

  • How do I integrate Apps into passbook?

    I don't understand how the passbook is supposed to work.  It seems like the app is just a connection to the app store.  I added the Starbucks app and then loaded my gift card into it.  It only shows up in the Starbucks app.  How does the Passbook app help?

    Kind of agree Apple didn't really explain this one too well..
    I had the error where it couldn't connect to the iTunes store and thought you had to grab special Passbook apps... The apps that work with passbook are just normal apps that, well, support passbook.
    I am flying later today and already have/use the American Airlines app. Went to check my boarding pass in the app and noticed I had the option to add it.... I clicked to do so (wasn't entirely clear what this was doing)... but then, Voila! My boarding pass is NOW in my Apple passbook.
    Apps you already have or are avialable now that support passbook you just download and away ya go. Like the AA boarding pass 'add' option- I'd expect it's similar for any of the supported apps where you'll have this option where you view the pass, coupon, gift card, etc.
    Would be nice to search for 'passbook' and see all the apps that support it... but not so unfortunately, at least not at the moment. Update those keywords!

  • Why all processed image with JAI will change into images with 96DPI?

    i think this is the disadvantage of JAI.I have an image with 300*300DPI.
    but when i read the image ,and saved it,it become an image with 96DPI.I truely need 300DPI.Does anyone can solve this problem.Thanks.

    I've just done a few more tests. Using the image I have described (a portrait with a Layer Mask, and in the Mask I have painted in black to remove certain parts), if I add a new layer and move it to the bottom the image doesn't change. When I fill the new layer with white, the image 'fattens'. Then when I SELECT ALL on the new layer, and Edit > Clear, the image slims down again.
    I can't get a grip on that. When I create a new layer, what is on the new layer? Why, when I fill that new layer with white, does the image 'fatten.'
    It seems to me I shouldn't have to create a new base layer and fill it with white to ensure that PS properly displays an image.
    If anyone wants to see the effect, I have uploaded the image (Tiff, 1.9 MB ) to:

  • Adding drivers to Windows 7 image with DISM

    Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

    Hi,
    Did these drivers support to Windows 7? Could you please point where did you download the chipset drivers? I will make a test to add on my WIM to check if the drivers
    have problem.
    Furthermore,
    check if you really need these drivers for your computer:
    http://www.intel.com.../support/detect
    Please Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does
    not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
    And there’s the steps about
    How to add Chipsets drivers inside the image install.wim:
    1) Expand the file ***.zip
    2) You will see the files for Windows 7 inside the folder ***\WIN7
    3) Copy/paste all the files (.inf and .cat files) inside a folder (example: C:\Drivers\Chipsets)
    4) Mount the image you want to integrate the drivers (example above).
    5) Integrate drivers with the command line
    6) Unmount /Commit
    Hope that helps.

  • Best way to insert a table into image with high resolution for web?

    I've tried inserting a table from Excel into Photoshop and making a jpeg and gif out of it, but when I upload it to the web the resolution is terrible.
    Any ideas on how I can make get a table into an image? It's a bit too complex to create with HTML.

    Well, you are leaving out a lot of info.
    a: how are you saving it in Photoshop? What file type/compression amount, etc.
    b: how are you uplaoding it - where are you uploading it - are you uploading JUST the image, or are you uploading the image within an .html document?
    One thought, if you are JUST uploading it as an image, then trying to view it in a browser, if the image is larger than the viewport of the browser, some browsers will automatically rezie the image to fit visually into the viewport. More than likely, this resizing could be causing image distortion. Imagine it like when you zoom in/out in Photoshop - (unless you are using the accelerated graphic gui option in PS preferences), any zoom level outside of 25%, 50%, or 100% will cause visual distortion.
    Give a link to where you have uploaded the image (or whatever you are talking about). Like I said, there are other things to consider as to why this is happening.

  • Can I integrate Lotus database into Oracle with ODI

    I would like to know is it possible to integrate Lotus into Oracle with ODI.
    I know that Lotus database (file extension .nsf) is not an relational database, but it is possible to extract the data from Lotus database into XML and ODI supports XML
    so one solution would be to convert Lotus database to XML and then integrate the data into Oracle with ODI (Am I wrong?)
    Is there another solution, where I could directly integrate data from Lotus into Oracle with ODI

    IBM do provide JDBC access to Lotus Notes data. This is likely to be the best way. Google "LOTUS NOTES JDBC DRIVER" and you find links to IBM's info.

  • Photoshop diplays all images with desaturated colors (Images look fine when opened in other apps)

    All of a sudden, when I open any image in Photoshop, the colors appear to be desaturated...In Photoshop only. When I open that same image in Window Picture Viewer, or Quicktimer, or even if I drag the image into a brower window, the colors appear fine. But in Photoshop, something is clearly wrong. Now, I can make color adjustments to the image, but when I save and reopen reopen it in another application, I can see that color changes have been made, but they still don't match what Photoshop is displaying.
    The images are RGB image...I've checked the color space setings in Photoshop, and they are the default (Edit > Color Settings: North American General Purpose 2 / RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 / CMYK: US Web Coated (SWOP) V2, etc, etc). I also made sure View > Proof Setup was set to: Working CMYK. I even reset Photoshop to it's default settings (by holding down CTRL-ALT-SHIFT on launching Photoshop)...But the images still appear desaturated when I open them in Photoshop...So, I don't understand how this is still a Photoshop problem...But then again, they look fine when I use any other application on my computer to open them, so it's clearly not an issue with my monitor.
    The frustrating thing is, I haven't made any changes to Photoshop OR my monitor (that I know about)...Photoshop has worked perfectly for me for years, and now there's this SNAFU that I just can not figure out.
    Any suggestions?
    I've included a screenshot below to show the disparity between an image opened in Photoshop (on left) and Windows Picture Viewer (on right):
    Photoshop image on left, with desaturated colors...Same image in Windows Picture Viewer on right, where colors appear normal.
    Any and all help is much appreciated : )

    It's difficult to provide help without knowing your level of color-management expertise, but I think you've helped us some with that in post number 2.
    Color management is basically this:  Images and devices have certain color characteristics, and these are described by color profiles, sometimes also called color spaces.
    1.  You should not need to use the Proof Setup at all to view your images on your monitor.  When things are set up properly Photoshop shows you accurate color without your choosing View - Proof Colors.
    2.  A color-managed application like Photoshop will try to show you accurate color on your display by interpreting both the image profile and your monitor profile and transforming the colors accordingly.  BY DEFINITION this will look different than other applications which don't do color-management as these just pump the image RGB values directly out to the display. 
    Thus:
    If your monitor profile indicates your monitor has a wide gamut, images with embedded profiles may appear less saturated inside Photoshop than from non-color-managed apps.
    If you view images that have an embedded wide gamut profile (such as Adobe RGB 1998 or ProPhoto RGB), Photoshop and other color-managed applications will interpret that profile and the colors will likely appear more saturated in Photoshop than in a non-color-managed application.
    It sounds as though the first case applies in your case here.
    You can check to see what monitor profile is associated with your monitor through OS settings.  I'm thinking, based on the caption buttons in your screen grab, that you've got Windows XP, but rather than go further with that assumption, I'll ask you to verify it first.

  • Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac".  I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

  • Integrate GRC 10.1 with CUA and how to import roles from CUA & Child systems into GRC for provisioning

    Hello,
    I am trying to integrate CUA into our GRC 10.1 system through the below steps and so far I have completed the below steps following SAP Notes 1680108 and 1616121:
    1. Connected CUABOX to GRCBOX like a plug-in system.
    2. Updated CUA Global System and CUA Model Distribution in Maintain CUA settings under User Provisioning.
    3. Next I am trying to import the roles from CUA(CUABOX) into GRC(GRCBOX) to be able to provision roles in CUA Child Systems(ECCBOX).
    After reading few discussions in SCN, I have figured that we have to download a template in Role Import and populate it accordingly to upload the CUA child system roles into GRC system for provisioning in CUA Child Systems.
    Unfortunately, this template has multiple fields and I am unable to determine the fields that should be populated as CUA Global System and CUA Child System to import into GRC. Also, when we upload CUA Child System Roles template what selections should be made in Role Import window.
    Any help in this regard is very helpful.
    Thank you,

    Hi Alessandro,
    I have "Create user if does not exist" setting checked for both change action and assign role action and also have CUA enabled. Here is the list of steps that I am performing:
    1. Create an access request for new account, T-CUA_CHILD and select a role from a child system ECC Z_ECC_ROLE_IN_CHILD_SYSTEM.
    2. Approvals provided to assign the ECC role.
    3. I see the following in GRFNMW_DBGMONITOR_WD.
               Auto provisioning activity at end of request at Path GRAC_DEFAULT_PATH and Stage              GRAC_SECURITY
                   New User:T-CUA_CHILD created in System(s): ECC (created without role assignments)
                   T-CUA_CHILD User does not exist in target system CUA
    GRC created an account without role assignment in ECC but also throwed me an error that the user does not exist in CUA.
    However, if I select roles from both CUA and ECC it creates the account in both systems with the selected role assignments.
    So I am wondering if there is way to provide CUA access to users by default for new account requests types. I have tried setting up default roles for CUA but it does not assign the roles by default until I select the CUA system.
    Thank you for your help!

  • How do I import an image with an opacity mask from AI into FW

    I have created a graphic in AI which contains several images with associated opacity masks. The mask use a radial gradient to achieve the desired effect. I am unable to import these images into FW with the mask effects intact even though the layers appear to be there. What am I doing wrong? I don't see away to do it in FW directly. If there's a work-around that would be appreciated too.

    Fireworks' masking is pretty good. If you have your object and your mask in FW, arrange the objects so that the mask is above the object, select both, then click on
    Modify > Mask > Group as Mask
    Where the mask is white, your object will be fully opaque. Where the mask is black or 100% transparent, your object will be fully transparent. Where the mask is grey or partially transparent, your object will be, as well, proportionally to the grey level/transparency level in the mask.
    Fireworks also has some built-in masks to fade objects radially or linearly. In CS3, these are under
    Commands > Creative > Fade Image
    but they got moved someplace else for CS4. I can't find the info on that in the help, though, sorry. Oh wait. It might be the Auto Vector Masks:
