Step-by-step instructions

1. Copy the WINPE folder from the Windows PE 2005 CDROM to C:\

2. Insert the Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1 CD-ROM (F: in this example). Start a command prompt and type:

cd /d c:\winpe
mkimg.cmd F: C:\WinPE_ADSI

3. Extract the additional ADSI files from the Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1 CD-ROM (F: in this example). Start a command prompt and type:

expand F:\i386\activeds.tl_ C:\WinPE_ADSI\i386\system32\activeds.tlb
expand F:\i386\adsldp.dl_ C:\WinPE_ADSI\i386\system32\adsldp.dll

4. Add support for WSH, ADO and HTA to WinPE. Start a command prompt and type:

cd /d c:\winpe
buildoptionalcomponents.vbs /S:F: /D:C:\WinPE_ADSI /Q

5. Edit C:\WinPE_ADSI\i386\system32\STARTNET.CMD and add the following line at the bottom.

oc.bat

6. Modify the sample script according to your environment and save it in C:\WinPE_ADSI\i386\system32

7. Create a Bootable CD by starting a command prompt and type this.

cd /d c:\winpe
oscdimg -h -n -betfsboot.com C:\WinPE_ADSI C:\WinPE_ADSI.iso

8. Burn the .iso to a CD using Nero or other cdr burning software

Note: When using ADSI in Windows PE you need to bind to Active Directory. The sample vbscript connects to a domain controller and displays all objects in the users contatiner.
