[Unattended] connect problem...
hello i wonder if there's anybody with the same problem... while i am trying to start with the dos cd, i get this looping error message: GUEST was logged off successfully The command completed succesfully Mapping Z: to \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\install\... The syntax is incorrect. For help, type NET USE /? Failed. Retrying... Override bootdisk defaults (if unsure, say yes)[Y,N] i am using the el90x image. can anybody help me? thanks. roberto caranci ¸.·´¯`·.´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸(((º .¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸(((º Roberto Caranci IT Support Group Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich Winterthurerstrasse 190 --- 8057 Zurich Tel 01 635 60 03 --- Fax 01 635 68 87 http://isg.pharma.ethz.ch/roberto.caranci/ --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

Now I start to think the same way... My only question is, How does samba know what is the domain and what is the username, or does it try both? What would happen if the was two domains and two users and the two! Great Thanks Max -Original Message- From: Patrick J.

The net use command from MSCLIENT (the DOS network stack) does not accept IP addresses. You have to use a Windows machine name. And not a DNS name, either; the command chokes if a dot appears in the name at all. As far as I know, there is nothing we can do about this. If you must use a DNS name or IP address, use the Linux boot disk. - Pat --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

[Unattended] Detecting the active NIC
I primarily use the Unattending infrastructure to rebuild lab machines. These machines have a variety of network cards, which come up in varying orders. They all have 1 mgmt interface, and 1 test interface. I'd like to be able to rename the network connections in Windows according to their purpose (e.g. mgmt and test). Then I can use netsh to give them their IP addresses, etc. (Being able to give them IP info without renaming would also be acceptable). Does anyone know a way to determine which adapter has link? Given that, I can name that one mgmt, and then toggle link (via the switch) on the test interface to find it. (I can't just use the other nic for test, because some of the machines have an onboard GigE that is cheezed, so their test NIC is a generic 100mbit card.) I'm trying to get a 100% unattended install together. I did finally try the CTTY COM1 trick (for DOS serial console), and it works. I am going to add in a timeout that asks whether you want to install over serial (and defaults to no) to all the bootdisks today. Then I can at least start the reinstall remotely. Even if I were to set the MAC addresses in the DHCP server (a somewhat compelling argument), that'd only handle the mgmt interfaces, so I'd still need to figure out which of the other NICs is the real test interface.

I have edited /etc/master on the Linux boot disk to accept username/DOMAIN and convert it to DOMAIN\username. In other words: Fixed in next release.

[Unattended] Using unattended post os install
Title: Message I have situations where I have machines with the OS already installed, but want to use unattended to install applications. What are the steps involved in getting a machine to the point where I can use todo.pl to install applications and updates? I apologize if I have missed the documentation on this.

If these machines are running Windows XP, you can use the NetConnectionStatus property of the Win32_NetworkAdapter WMI class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_networkadapter.asp We ship a generic WMI enumeration script (instances.pl). Try running instances.pl Win32_NetworkAdapter with the cable connected and disconnected to see the difference. But since the NetConnectionStatus property was first introduced in Windows XP, this will not show any difference on Windows 2000. For Win2k, the best idea I have is to run ipconfig and parse the output... I need to do both, so it looks like I'll just have to parse ipconfig. I'm trying to get a 100% unattended install together.

Glad to hear that worked. If you have time to try it with the Linux boot disk, I would be interested to hear the results of that, too. What is it that you want me to try with the Linux boot disk? I have tried it out on system I had handy, but there is nothing on the serial port (after the PXE boot completes, anyway).

RE: [Unattended] Using unattended post os install
I have situations where I have machines with the OS already installed, but want to use unattended to install applications. What are the steps involved in getting a machine to the point where I can use todo.pl to install applications and updates? I could find no step-by-step instructions either. It appears as though everyone that is doing this is using custom scripts to do so. I place the following scripts in z:\scripts\ ftp://www.hansonsystems.com/unattended/Start_Apps_Only_Install.bat ftp://www.hansonsystems.com/unattended/AppsOnly_Set1.bat From any workstation, logged in as a user that has permission to map a drive to my unattended share [ \\ntinstall\install ] I can launch Start - run - \\ntinstall\install\Start_Apps_Only_Install.bat The Z: drive is mapped using mapznrun.bat then appsonly_set1.bat is called to install perl and then use todo.pl to install the programs required. Hopefully this or something similar to this can be rolled into unattended. -Jeff --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
