I have 3 images setup that I use and I have a couple questions about the boot manager.  I have been looking at the options for the BCDEDIT command and nothing is jumping out at me that will allow me to do what I am trying to do.

1:  Can I change the default entry in the boot manager.  Currently the defualt entry points to our old RIS installs.  I would like to point it to the new Windows deployment images for our newer pc's.

2:  Can I add security to the images.  I would like only the RIS and the WDS menu options to show up for most of the people in the departement but I have another image that we use to capture images.  It boots to a command prompt that I would like to have show up for just  a few people in the department.

3:  Can I remove the 30 second count down so that it will require somebody select and option to continue?

 

Thanks

Can't help with much but..
2.The PXE boot images menu? I don't think so as you don't log into that.
I have a made a HTA GUI that launches in winpe that has a login box, if credentials are successful it maps a network drive and runs another HTA off the network with buttons to launch programs such as ghost, wdscapture, cmd prompt.
Pretty easy to customise for your needs by creating a share with permissions for imaging team.

I can send it to you if you want.
