Introduction

This is the configuration page for the Windows 7 partition on NXL67170.

Available Images

  • (1st image as-of 2012-02-19 deleted)
  • Image 1 (ntfsclone) — 2013-03-20 — Native, as received from IT with some additional software (Visio, Euroglot...), but without any virtualization .
  • Image 2 (ntfsclone) — Last backup image. Contains additional software, custom settings and virtualization.
  • Image 3 (vbox snapshot) — 1st virtualbox snapshot, state as on harddrive image. Content of the next backup image. Last known good version, VM is reverted to that image if Candidate image is broken
    • Next images are named Image 4, Image 5...
  • Candidate (vbox snapshot) — Last permanent image, VM is reverted to that image regularly to get SW updates, and apply last changes from new. All services enabled. Merged into Image 3 if proven stable.
  • Lightweight (vbox snapshot) — Lightweight version of candidate (many serviced and AV disabled). Contains last bleeding-edge changes. VM already started. VM is reverted to that image on a daily basis.

Daily process

  • Boot lightweight snapshot.
  • Apply last changes during last session (marked new), and update lightweight snapshot (replace previous one).
  • Enjoy

Weekly process

  • Merge candidate snapshot into image 3.
  • Boot the new image 3
  • Apply last changes applied in image lightweight, and download last SW update, etc.
  • Create new candidate snapshot
  • Apply non-permanent changes (lightweight), and create new lightweight snapshot.

Monthly process

  • Backup image 3

Cygwin

See Nxl67063 for reference configuration.

Base system (vim)
  • 5th Cygwin 1.7.20-1
  • 5th Set group and passwd:
mkgroup -l > /etc/group
mkgroup -d -g "Domain Users" >> /etc/group
mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
mkpasswd -d -u beq06659 >> /etc/passwd
  • 5th Define environment variable in system properties
  • 5th Import home configuration with git
  • 5th Create symlinks to drives (we do not use the fstab or --change-cygdrive-prefix trick because there is no way for scripts to get the cygdrive prefix. Moreover even if it was possible, there is a big chance that scripts would still hardcode /cygdrive as the default prefix. A better and more portable solution is to leave the default prefix to /cygdrive, and create symbolic links in root dir)
for i in c d h; do ln -sf /cygdrive/$i /$i; done
Git (git git-svn git-completion)
  • 5th
SSH (openssh)
  • 5th
Midnight commander (mc)
  • 5th

VirtualBox settings

Shared folders
  • 1st /home/beq06659, auto-mount, read-only
  • 1st /data/d, auto-mount, full
USB Device Filters

Remarks

  • Install advertised program
    This works even if policy deleted (winlogon was running though), network interface set to NAT, and with most service disabled (but smshost and ccmexec services must be running).

To Do

Issues

  • Issue — virtualbox shared folder \\vboxsrv\d is not visible from Administrator account. Very annoying when copying files to system32 for instance (because source won't be visible anymore).
    Temp. workaround, launch cmd as administrator:
net use D: \\vboxsrv\d
  • Issue — Opera does not work with custom proxy.pac file.
  • Issue — Nokia PC Suite, only detect & connect if I detach then reattach USB BCM20702A0
  • Template:RED — HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH always pointing at network share, causing lags when disconnected.
See [4] for potential workarounds

To Do

Questions

  • Outlook — macro always enabled. Any better solution?
  • Outlook — move .ost to d: drive (or find a solution that outlook always complaining .ost is old)
  • Outlook — find a rss reader that can save into IMAP (check rss2email or feed2imap)
  • System — Enable page file?
  • Merge history from file win7_P2V_links.txt, and written notes.
  • Recover application settings from old profile
