This is so weird!!!! I installed Win 7 HP and D420. Used the rearm script you give me, forwarded time. Log out/in and my background never went back. What am I forgetting? UPDATE I got it. Ran the rearm script again and got the water mark and logged out/in and it was black for a short time period which then it restored a background.
Made a slight alteration to the script. This way it ask you to enter the date and also stops/starts the service so that its officially in notifications/showing water mark. Might add log off later, idk. Code: @echo off CLS mode con: cols=50 lines=12 >nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system" if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' ( echo Requesting administrative privileges... goto UACPrompt ) else ( goto gotAdmin ) :UACPrompt echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" set params = %*:"="" echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "%params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" exit /B :gotAdmin if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ) setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION :RearmIR6 mode con: cols=62 lines=7 CLS echo ...Rearming :) cscript.exe /b %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL cscript.exe /b %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL cscript.exe /b %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL cscript.exe /b %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL cscript.exe /b %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL date net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL slmgr /dlv ENDLOCAL exit
Not sure if I am using your check.bat right but I have yet to get it to restore the background or even hint at a way to do so.
Would be good to get more detailed info about what is eactly failing in which scenario (Starter, Home Basic or any of the others) There are 3 different ways for Starter, HB and the rest, to backup and restore theme\wallpaper.
Hi, HomeBasic seemed to be mostly fine (the Rearm cycles restored the Wallpaper). BUT (you knew it coming?) it doesn't restore the Wallpaper at all when it comes back from WinRE cycle. The reason is that check.bat will restore only if it has to Rearm, and that isn't the case after WinRE.
Running Home Basic. Installed D420/IR6. Replaced the check.bat it makes with yours. Restarted into WinRE and ran C:IR6 Restarted to desktop with 5 reams. Ran force notifications batch. Logged out/In so that I could get black background. prompted to reinstall by your check.bat. whether I did or didn't reinstall, no wallpaper.
Yes, you ran into the same thing. When doing the reinstallation (WinRE) the wallpaper is not restored. That's because it will do so only if it has to rearm online (30 days are up). But when you return from WinRE you have 5 rearms, 30 days, so no restore.
When the backup and restore is running properly after Rearm i will implement the nessessary Restore to installkey.bat to restore after IR6 Reinstall . I did it once, but that failed on Home Basic and Starter, so will do a new attempt later.
The normal backup/restore seems to work fine on Starter/Homr Basic. The theming stuff on the other SKUs is a different beast.
Found no better way so far. In most cases it is working on my Win 7 Test machines . Will post new try with restore after RE tomorrow....
I'll let the VMs live 'till I can test the complete integrated package (D420.bat) since creating the batch workers can go wrong as well.

Since you used the testscript you tested the 'big' cycle only (the WinRE one). Restoring works for the simple Rearm that doesn't need WinRE.
I do not follow you As far as I can tell. The check.bat test ver 3 works that same as the one that D420 makes.
That script contains: Code: echo ...Rearming :) cscript.exe /b %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL cscript.exe /b %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL cscript.exe /b %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL cscript.exe /b %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL cscript.exe /b %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm net stop sppsvc >NUL ping -n 1 localhost >NUL net start sppsvc >NUL It wastes all Rearms at once. I did it one after the other. 1. Time forward 30 days -> black. 2. Logoff/Logon to trigger the Check.bat task -> Restore works, needs further logoff. Restoring does not yet work if rebooting to the Repair environment.
If you use the check.bat only and manually forward time, the restore works (comes directly after rearm). However, that one time you need to rerun ir6.bat it doesn't (because check.bat only restores after rearming and after returning from WinRE rearming isn't necessary).
Hey all, I know this is kind of the wrong place for this, but since the trilogy thread is shut down, I figured I'd post it here. Does anyone have a direct download link for cs5.5, and cs6? and also, timesurfer are you gonna make anything for cs6 kinda like trilogy worked for 5.5? I'd be happy sticking with 5.5 but the download I have for it seems to have gotten all screwed up, so if this pc goes TU then I'm stuck
