The Integration and Deployment of SP2 under Windows XP.

D/ Personalisation of the Security Centre

This service is integrated into Service Pack 2 and allows you to manage the firewall, the antivirus and the Windows updates from a centralised location:

 

The following changes correspond to .reg files with their locations fully listed.
These modifications can be integrated into the installation via the cmdlines.txt file and the help of the following command:

“REGEDIT /S MODIF.REG”

It is also possible to enter this command in the [GuiRunOnce] section of the answer file (this will require an additional reboot).
