During our rapideploy image, the keyboard and mouse are disabled as the PC is renamed and joined to the network. I'd like to have the same thing happen once the PC is connected to the domain and our SVS apps are being deployed. That way people cannot login until the PC is fully installed. Turns out that this isn't as easy as it sounds. Not sure how Altiris does it but some other people on the forum have suggested using AutoIT to script the keyboard/mouse disabling routine. AutoIt does disable the keyboard and mouse but only until someone hits Ctrl-Alt-Del. I wanted to disable the login process so the act of trying to login would stop AutoIt from working. WIth this in mind, I decided the best option was to have a small program that runs when someone logs in. It tells them that a software installation is still in progress, disables the keyboard and mouse and after 20 seconds, logs the computer off. The plan is to have a job that does something along these lines
It helps !!!! Thanks !!!!!
