Can I apply any or all of these to Server 2012 R2?
I'm looking to get the best possible performance and experience out of my server.
I see you also have a nice list going for Windows 7. Do those pertain to Server 2012 R2 as well?

Maybe I shouldn't be tweaking this version of windows at all. Not sure yet..

Which IE Tweak?
Sorry, It's the IE tweak called "Enable SSL"
I was able to reproduce the error and fix it by manually changing my IE settings. Not sure which SSL (2.0 , 3.0, unchecked, etc.) you actually need turned on but I think this tweak disables the ones you need for ninite to work.
I hope that helps.

So far it seems it's just you. To find the tweak use basic troubleshooting techniques. They are a pain to do, but if you are organized it really shouldn't be too bad.
You've tested not removing any components and doing all your tweaks and it still had the same error? If so, then it's probably a tweak.
Then still don't remove any components, but take out half your tweaks. No error? Then put those tweaks back and take out the other half. Still error? Then it's one of the tweaks you are still applying.
Keep taking out half of the remaining tweaks until you've narrowed it down and found which one is causing the problem. Tweak in = error. Tweak out = no error. Then go back remove all your components and put all your tweaks back in. Error? Remove the one tweak. No error? That's the tweak. Report back so the tweak can either be fixed or removed so others don't have the same problem.
Please let us know what you find out.
Cheers and Regards
Thanks bphlpt!
I've actually already started doing that. I think I have it narrowed down to either System or Misc tweaks. I'll keep working at it and I'll post back with the solution so I can help others!
If a tweak does not apply to Win7, would it hurt to apply it? For example, the welcome center for Vista tweak. Can it cause harm by applying it or just not doing anything at all? I'm asking because I might hav accidently applied tweaks that don't pertain to my OS version and the tweak details do not specify that.
Thanks!
EDIT: WooohOO! It was an IE tweak!! FYI: Pretty sure you need to keep IE this particular installer to work and probably more. Removing it is NOT recommended from my past experiences.

Hi,
That is the new information to me. I had not realized that. It's been removed and will never be used again!!
Thank you for that information. Now if we could just get this problem fixed. I must be the first one to encouter this problem or nobody knows why it is happening.
Latest PRESET has been uploaded.
Thank You.
EDIT: I've narrowed it down to a few more. Almost there!!

Hi,
I've tried another configuration without some of the tweaks that I thought may be causing it. Unfortuantately the probelm still exists. I would like to remind that it's not a cmoponent removal causing this problem as I have tested JUST removing components and it worked. Althought it could be combination of a removal AND a reigstry tweak?
Attached is my my most recent preset.
Thanks,

Hi,
I can't get ninite to work after tweaking the registry with W7T. I thought it was a component removal at first but I did a test run with compononent removal and no registry tweaks and it works fine. I'm not sure which tweak is causing the problem but it's definitely one of them.
Could it be one of the internet explorer tweaks?? A system tweak would be my next guess.
I have not tweaked any of the services either. Can somebody have a look at my preset??
I've attached a screenshot of the error message that ninite produces as well.
Thanks,

Thx!!

Worf,
I just downloaded and fired up W7T for the first time on new machine and the W7T folder is NOT there, it must appear when I start doing actual work with the tool. Not sure if that helps or not.
Another you should try is going to the setting within W7T and change the file path or the temp directory and others to something else besides C:\
Maybe try path to desktop?? Commit a few minor changes and see what happens. Try and save your preset too!

Hey lego you should add a compatibility dialog for component removal like vLite did
Like for instance if you check compatibility for ninite it will hide parental controls to prevent it from removal
It will however need allot of user feedback saying I removed X component and it broke X program
I second that!
Can anyone confirm this for me? I'm not 100% about this but it makes sense that web filtering (lack of the service existing) might not allow ninite to work properly.
Lego, where can I make requests for additions to future versions of your work?

Hi again,
Is it possible to re-add components I have removed? Specifically I want I to re-add the parental controls component but still keep all the other removals and tweaks. I believe ninite installer requires the web filter portion of parental controls to work properly. I'm getting this error when trying to run ninite:
Failed - The connection with the server was reset - 221
My research from here points me to Parental Controls being needed: http://community.kaseya.com/xsp/f/28/p/13249/64690.aspx
I now understand that if I want to make additional changes such as add wallapapers, themes or remove more stuff, I just need to NOT LOad my previous preset or any preset at all for that matter.
Thanks,

Hi Worf,
As I understand it, you will only see data in the with C:\W7T directory while W7toolkit is doing it's magic. I have verfified this with this All-In-One tool but cannot speak for others because I have not tested everything nor do I fully understand how it all works yet.
When you say close out the pogram, do you mean hit the "start" button in the upper left hand corner??

Hi.
Where does W7T put the mounted image? According to the settings they are supposed be on the C: drive (C:\W7TMount), but when i look there are no folders. I have checked in the Local and the other folders but can't seem to find the folder.
When i close W7T it doesn't seem to commit the changes to the Wim file.
Example:
I used RT7Lite to intergrate SP1 as i could not find an option in W7T. Then i used W7T to intergrate Solor's updates.
As im not to keen with the option on the component removal as i don't find them very clear as to what they are, i used RT7Lite to remove components as it is more clear as to what they are.
After using RT7Lite i commited the changes to the Wim file.
Now, when i check the size the source, it said 2.59GB. When i open W7T and click the 'All-In-One-Tool', Loads the already mounted image and say's it is 10GB. For some reason, W7T is not commiting the changes when it is closed!
How can i find where the image is mounted and how can i get W7T to load the new changed Wim file?
Many Thanks
Worf

You just simply select the All-In-One Tool without loading a preset and add your new wallpapers etc.. you don't have to do the previous tasks again
ahh, choosing the previous preset I just used must have been the culprit. I'll try that and give it a go!
Thanks Legolash2o

Hi,
I reaize this might be a silly question but how do I go back edit an image I have saved? For example, I want to go back and add some themes or wallpapers and make additional registry tweaks. When I go back to do that, I have to remove all of the components over again and go through the whole entire process just to make my changes.
I searched around quite a bit but never found a solution. Do I need to uncheck/check some option in W7T?
Thanks,

Excellent, I'll focus on the menu interface ones for now (one at a time). I'll report back with what I have tested. Reliability is important so I plan to apply them in a VM first.
Thanks for the tips!
