Thanks to the people behind http://code.kliu.org/misc/winisoutils/ I could help someone with a laptop that had a completely broken harddisk with Windows 7 home premium installed. Off course never made a backup / recovery DVD so my hands were empty.

Using the eicfg removal utility is a pice of cake and the result nice:

Windows 7 universal install DVDA universal installer DVD is always handy.

But the subject covers this post very well: the Windows 7 DVD I used with eicfg removal utility is unusable for a Packard Bell laptop as is explained on Microsoft answers (in dutch) http://answers.microsoft.com/nl-nl/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/product-key-home-premium-werkt-niet/756bbf93-1977-42b0-a3aa-c6c594d19974

Windows 7, rdp server 2008 and 2003

Last week I had a new surprise connecting with rdp on a Windows 7 box to a 2008 server left the remote desktop connection startscreen forever there after asking for the credentials. The only way to end rdp was with taskmanager or logging off leaving a unclear eventid 1002 in the eventlog. But I was still able to connect to Windows 2003 servers (apologies for the dutch text):

Stumbling upon a page that it is certificate related I renamed the Windows 7 box and low and behold I could make a rdp connection to the Windows 2008 servers! After renaming the box back to its original name it still worked.

Anyone who can shed inside info is welcome.
