I am currently trying to make a script that calls the "Change a password" screen without hitting Ctrl+Alt+Delete/End. The problem is we have people in the field using all different keyboard layouts and the "End" isn't always in the most user friendly spot. So I want to cut out the middle man and just let our end users run a script that will bring up the screen and let them change the password.

I can't get the drivers to install for one of my Windows 8.1 images. There aren't any errors in the event log or any errors showing up during the installation it just doesn't install them. I have the driver path in my answer file for the WinPE, OfflineServicing, and AuditSystem passes and it looks something like this:
processorArchitecture="amd64" name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsWinPE">
-<DriverPaths>
-<PathAndCredentials wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="e3d3e806">
<Path>C:\RemoteInstall\Images\P7510\Out-of-Box Drivers</Path>
-<Credentials>
<Domain>XXX</Domain>
<Password>XXXXXXXXXX</Password>
<Username>XXXXXXXXX</Username>
</Credentials>
</PathAndCredentials>
</DriverPaths>
and I have made a driver group for the installation and imported all the necessary drivers into it just like i do for all my other images but this one just wont work and I'd like to figure out why
UPDATE I just tried to image another laptop (different image and drivers) and now that image doesn't work aswell, we haven't changed anything with our server so i don't know whats going on
I work for a company that has a lot of remote employees that never come to the office. Currently what happens when these people are hired is I prepare their laptops in the office and then send it to them, Then I ask them to sign into a local admin account and connect to what ever WiFi network they will be working from (Private WiFi network). Then I remote into their computer and use netsh wlan show profile
to give me the name of said wifi network and go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and add a string called WLAN prelogon
and set the value to %comspec% /c netsh wlan connect name="<profile name>"
then get them to log out and connect to Cisco anyconnect and log in as themselves.
What I would like to do is have them login to the local admin account, connect to WiFi and then run a script that would find the WiFi profile name and add the registry string automatically cutting down time for me and making this process easier on the user.
