Project Windows-10 Configurator


Recommended Posts

 

Hello everyone,

I started this project alone in May 2020 as project in my spare time at work, I'm working for a IT company that started opening their services to residential customers few months ago and now my position in the company kind of drifted in the doom and gloom world of repetitive tasks like: Reinstallation + Configuration of Windows 10.

The procedure is very repetitive and I started feeling like being a robot which is the main reason I started this project.

[2021-11-26] News:

Download link has been removed and I've been very inactive in the project for the few months and trying to have free time or mental energy left has been quite a struggle since beginning of this summer.

Project Github is private because it is not worth keeping it public in its current state, it had barely any features truly working... it will comeback public once I my current life situation allows me to.

 I cannot provide a date but it won't be in 2021 since lots of changes are coming like a new powerful Windows Update Asynchronous which I managed to make it work on 3 updates at same time! this will replace the old Windows Updater function I've been using since windows 7 ^_^

Take Care!

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Current progression of the project (more will be added in future)

« Blue = Info || Yellow = Unfinished/Untested || Purple = Could be better || Green = Done ||Red = Not Yet Started »

***Very early Stage ***

  • Connect Network Attached Storage(NAS) (Work but missing configuration in GUI - AutoIt only)

  • Download & Install up to 600+ softwares (Tested & Working - using 3rd party tool + 50/50 Powershell/AutoIt)

  •  Auto prediction of Apps name of text typed inside input (Tested & Working - AutoIt Only)

  • Change OEM Informations (Tested & Working -  AutoIt)

  • Disable hibernation (Tested & Working - AutoIt only)

  • Change Computer Name (Work but require testing - AutoIt only) 

  • Show Computer Information and Smart status on GUI (Tested & Working - AutoIt Only)

  • Change .pdf / .pdfxml from Edge to Adobe Reader DC (Tested & Working - using 3rd party tool)

  • Change Edge to Google Chrome as Default Browser (Tested & Working - using 3rd party tool)

  • Windows Updater (Seems to work but require further testing - AutoIt only)

  • Install Office 365 / 2013 + Activation (To Do)

  • Add L2TP VPN Configuration for Windows Built-in VPN (To Do)

  • Save / Load tasks configuration profile in (.ini file) to avoid repeating same configuration twice (In progress - AutoIt Only)

  • (EXPERIMENTAL) Install Apps from Microsoft Store with UIAutomation UDF made by @junkew(Work if you know what your doing)

   P.S: Installing Apps from Microsoft Store will require usage of  UIA spy tool made by @LarsJ which you can download & learn how to use it on UIA Spy Tool thread.

Hi WilliamasKumeliukas,

I am interessed in Looking for Collaboration Windows 10 Configurator.
I love Silent apps, or a Unattended Windows.
I am not a programmer, I often test software.
Make apps silent, make apps portable too.
And test everything in a clean windows 10 in VMWare.

I hope i can help with something.

 

Greatz

2021.07.15 News: Project is NOT dead! I am still very devoted into accomplishing this project, I am spending my every bit of energy that is left end of the day (when there is any) on this project and it really does challenge my knowledge in AutoIT language but I won't give up :)

Bonjour WilliamasKumeliukas,

Tu m'avais contacté il y a longtemps sur le forum français de autoit.
J'ai malheureusement vu le message que tardivement.

J'ai regardé ton travail et c'est super intéressant et prometteur. Il y a plein de bonnes idées.

 

Voici ce que j'ai noté :

1) Le lien dans le premier post de ce fil contient l'erreur d'inclusion ligne 47 : #include <ExtMsgBox.au3> que tu as corrigé sur le github

2) Concernant Windows Update, le script plante, parce que le tableau $label est vide suite à la commande ligne 350 :

For $i = UBound($label)-1 To 0 Step -1
    If $label[$i] = "" Then
        _ArrayDelete($label, $i)
    EndIf
Next

Ca plante à la ligne 1242 

$sBannedList = GUICtrlRead($label[8]) ;Read what is input into text box

J'ai bien avancé de mon côté, sur mon logiciel, notamment sur la recherche smart (après avoir fait des heures de recherches, j'ai utilisé smartmontools pour afficher les erreurs smart, wmi ou powershell n'étant pas complet),.

Malheureusement, mon code est très peu commenté et peu lisible, aussi n'hésite pas à me demander si besoin, et à copier ce qui t'intéresse pour ton script.

Bon développement !

Bien vu, j'avais déjà remarquer ce problème, c'étais un oublie de ma part que je n'ai pas encore push sur GitHub car je travaille depuis quelques mois pour un meilleur Windows Updater qui télécharge et installe asynchrone :).

Super! j'irai voir dès que je serai un peu plus libre dans mon temps et tkt, j'ai l'habitude des codes peu commenté ;)

I'm sorry.

So this is my post in english (I do my best 😅:

Hello WilliamasKumeliukas,

You contact me before on the french autoit forum but I saw your message long time after you posted it

I see your work and I find it very interesting

 

This is what I noticed :

1) The link of the download in the first post of this thread include inclusion error line 47 : #include <ExtMsgBox.au3> (corrected on github)

2) For Windows Update, the script hang because var $label is empty after commands line 350 :


For $i = UBound($label)-1 To 0 Step -1
    If $label[$i] = "" Then
        _ArrayDelete($label, $i)
    EndIf
Next

It block at line 1242 


$sBannedList = GUICtrlRead($label[8]) ;Read what is input into text box

My script has evolved, smart detection is better now with smartmontools (better than powershell and wmi)

Sorry but my code is very hard to understand because I haven't comment it, but I hope it can help you.

With the rollout of windows 11 only weeks away, have you tested this code on a beta version of windows 11 to see if any tweaks are required?

@OSInfo etc...

No, sadly I am unable to test it since my generation of my cpu wasn't compatible with beta version of windows 11 (it been few months now since I've try to install Win11..)

but I will surely test it on Win11 and add changes in the next update but I have no estimated time to when it will be push but it will be big :)

Sincerely,
