[Unattended] Image file for Floppy Install

2004-03-11 Thread natisha
I am trying to run the install through the Floppy install.  I am having a hard 
time creating my own image.  I have 30 Compaq DL380s and would like to do a 
network install.  If some one could help create this Floppy image as it was done for 
E100b.img driver.  The .img files that were on the website do not work when I create 
the Floppy with WINIMAGE.  I found the dos driver for the NIC.  But I did not know how 
to create the image.  Please help.  Thanks in advance.

2004-03-11 Thread natisha
I am having issues in regards to the fdisk.  I am using a Compaq DL380 with 2 SCSI 
drives, Raid 1, 36gb.  I am trying to use the whole drive with NO partition.  I am 
getting the error FDISK FAILED, CALL INT 0x21, 0x440d, 0x60 failed error...  I do 
not remember the rest.  All I want to do is install Windows 2003 but am having a hard 
time.  Please help.  Thanks

RE : [Unattended] Image file for Floppy Install

2004-03-11 Thread Sylvain Faivre
Well the floppy images are now compressed in bzip2 format I think, and WinImage cannot 
open them directly. You will have tu uncompress the image with a tool like 7-zip 
before you can open it with WinImage.
If there is no floppy image for your network card in the unattended distribution, you 
will have to edit 3 files to make your own image :
* replace the whatever.dos driver file in the floppy image with the driver for your 
network card (it should be called NDIS2 driver or DOS driver on the driver CD that 
came with your computer)
* edit the name of your network card driver in the system.in_ file, it looks like 
this : NETCARD=E100B.DOS
* edit the name of your network card driver in the protocol.ini file, it looks like 
this : DRIVERNAME = E100B$

Hope this helps.

Sylvain.

RE: [Unattended] TCPTSR.EXE gives NET0133: IP-Address already in use

2004-03-11 Thread Scott Frazer
Just posting this to help anyone else may have been seeing the hang /
error with the DOS TCPTSR.EXE problem.

Our problem turned out to be a device on the VLAN that had an incorrect
trunking configuration.  Our specific setup includes Cisco 6000 and 6500
series catalysts and HP/Compaq BL10e gigabit blade chasis.  The
incorrect setting on one of 5 blade cabinets was interfering somehow
with the DHCP broadcasts, even though neither the DHCP/TFTP server or
the client was located in a blade cabinet (both were directly connected
to the catalyst switches).

I thought this would be a good place to post this, since the way I found
out about the unattended project was when I was searching for a solution
to this very problem while using the Altiris Deployment Server product.

Subject: [Unattended] TCPTSR.EXE gives NET0133: IP-Address already in
use

I've just started trying to cobble my own replacement for Altiris
Deployment Server together using the Unattended tools and I'm having an
issue under both environments that I thought I would run by the list.

It's similar to a problem I found in the archives here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg002
74.h
tml

but with a twist.  I only get the hang when I'm on a specific VLAN on my
network.  If I change the VLANs of both the DHCP/TFTP server and the
target box, I get my DHCP address without any errors.  And if you let
the hang go long enough (more than 20 minutes) it comes back with the
TCPTSR.EXE gives
NET0133: IP-Address already in use message.

The VLAN in question is my DMZ, so it has things like PIX firewalls and
CSS load balancer devices on the same network, but I can't imagine any
of them would be causing this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Unattended] Format Confirmation Bypass in 4.0

2004-03-11 Thread Russell Smith
from install.pl

/z:seriously  is requied.

eg

format /y /z:seriously /q /u /a /v: c:

as 4.0 is using the format commands and freedos, the switches for this have 
changed slightly.

Hope this helps.

 The command to format the disk without confirmation is not working for
 me in version 4.0. The /y switch appears to be ignored.

 To workaround this problem, I used some text redirection. Create a text
 file called YES on the boot floppy with contents of only YES and
 change the format command in site/unattend.txt to: format_cmd = format
 c: /q /v:  YES
