Hello everyone. I've been a reader for a while but now I need some advice. Thanks to the admins/moderators for this forum!
I've been working on a live/pe solution. The usage scenario is that a end user of my GA-X79-UP4 based machines has had some sort of catastrophic problem (rendering the standard/installed OS and/or drive unusable) and therefore needs remote technical support to asses the problems and apply fixes if possible.
I have been marginally successful withe a 32bit WinPE4 solution. (Thanks to reboot.pro member ericgl. his guide that I used: http://reboot.pro/topic/16544-create-a-bootable-winpe-40-usb-drive/) I currently have a working WinPE4.0 environment with PStart to launch portable apps. I built it with Windows ADK for windows 8 and cmd. Pstart is automatically launched by editing the StartNet.cmd file (windows\system32) with "call %w%:PStart\PStart.exe"
This has worked really well and loads reasonably fast.
This has worked really well and loads reasonably fast.
The requirements of this solution are:
[my current status]
[Check] compatible with X79 chip-set and AHCI and USB3 (this may rule out winXP solutions, i don't know)
[Check] automatically connects to wired network and internet
[Check] automatically boots to a windows environment with no user interaction
[Fail.] automatically launches teamviewer (ive read about various versions working and others working)
[Check] programs launchable by gui (in my case this has been done with pstart)
[Check] macrium reflect fully works
[Check] aomei partition assistant fully works
[Fail.] Malwarebytes Anti-Malware fully works
Now that you have my background info and know what I'm trying to accomplish, my simple question is, can you simply point me in the right direction (link to a guide, maybe) of the solution that you recommend for the requirements listed above?
If your answer is "keep working on your winPE4.0 build" then we can have the conversation in another forum thread about the current Teamviewer solutions available and fixing other applications. I'd like this thread to only be about the "live" environment you recommend.
To recap what I'm asking:
What is your recommendation for the easiest-to-setup "live" environment that accomplishes the stated requirements?
BIG THANKS for your help guys. I really appreciate it.
