[Unattended] Three questions

[Robin Eklund]

Hello, i have three questions.
1: Everytime i install a new  unattended version i allways have to run 
mapznrun.bat and postinst.bat manually after windows installs (of course, i 
then change install.pl to do this for me), have i missed something or is 
something wrong in my configuration ?

2: I use the linux boot-disk and feed the clients with user/pwd/path 
through dhcp-option 233
Looks like this in dhcpd.conf:

option unattended code 233=string;
#if option user-class=Unattended{ # This has no effect, it renders the 
option useless.
#if option user-class=Unattended{ # have also tried this without effect
	option unattended z_user=username z_pass=x z_path=//machine/nti44;
#}

The problem is, as soon as i uncomment the conditional(either one, i treid 
em both), it no longer works(is the dhcpd-class really : Unattended?) . I 
really dont want the dhcp-server to feed all clients with this info, even 
if they probably will never see it. Has anyone got this to work, and if 
that is the case how ?

3: Wouldnt it be great if we started discussing these thing on the 
wiki-site forum instead, it would be a lot easier to search through ?

Cheers !

The latter, I suspect.  What, if anything, do you have in
Z:\site\unattend.txt and Z:\site\config.pl?

 2: I use the linux boot-disk and feed the clients with user/pwd/path
 through dhcp-option 233
 Looks like this in dhcpd.conf:
 
 option unattended code 233=string;
 #if option user-class=Unattended{ # This has no effect, it renders the
 option useless.
 #if option user-class=Unattended{ # have also tried this without effect
   option unattended z_user=username z_pass=x z_path=//machine/nti44;
 #}

According to the dhcp-eval man page, this should be:

if option dhcp-user-class = Unattended {
  option unattended z_user=username z_pass=x z_path=//machine/nti44;
}


Note the name of the variable (dhcp-user-class) and the whitespace
around the special characters...  The latter may not matter, but why
take chances?

Please let me know if this works, because I have never actually tried
it.

I hate Web fora.  They are clunky, slow, and the text editing is so
limited as to be painful.  So I do not participate in them except
under duress.

http://www.mail-archive.com/ has a pretty good search engine.  And
Google also works OK if you include terms like site:mail-archive.com
and unattended.
