[Unattended] problem with base.bat file also

2004-12-29 Thread mike veinott
Hello List,

First off let me say I have really been enjoying Unattended 4.5 and it
has been VERY helpful as I am in an office where much of the equipment
is dissimilar from all the other equipment.

Looking through the mailing list, I see someone having a similar
problem to the one I am having. (Kaari's problem with base.bat file
message from 2004-09-30).  During my install of Win2k with SP4
integrated, the process would stop about the install of IE6. The
autologin would be cancelled somehow and would require the execution
of the autolog.pl script to reset this.  (The logon screen would show
Administrator, but waiting for the password.)  The execution of
todo.pl would stop as well, but this is not consistent (usually
occurred when I left the install running after I went home for the
night, probably something timing out).  Rebooting the system would not
fix the logon problem, but would usually restart the script.  I went a
little hog wild with autolog.pl and .reboot to help me better locate
the problem.  My modified base.bat script is included below.  I also
tested this with the original base.bat script and found the problem
came up during the install of IE6 after the first reboot (I believe
this is where Kaari's problem occurred also.)  The problem would occur
after the first reboot (the first reboot after perl finishes
installing and base.bat has started).  If anyone knows how to fix this
I would appreciate it.

Mike

Your problem is not the same as Kaari's, though.  His problem is that
the autologon works but the automatic invocation of todo.pl does not.
This is consistent with something rebooting the machine behind
todo.pl's back; that would leave the autologon in place without giving
todo.pl a chance to hook itself to run at logon.

In theory, the /r:n switch (which ie6.bat passes) should prevent
ie6setup.exe from doing this, but maybe it is not working for Kaari
for some reason.

Your problem is different; it sounds like the reboots are working but
the autologon is getting trashed somehow.  Why installing IE would
disable automatic logon is beyond me...

My first question for you and Kaari: Did you follow the instructions
in Z:\packages\ie6sp1\README.txt (and in ie6.bat)?  That is, did you
run this command to download the offline installation files:

ie6setup.exe /c:ie6wzd.exe /d /s:#E

Note that I have not yet reproduced either of your problems; I built a
few Windows 2000 machines yesterday without trouble.  However, it has
been a while since I downloaded the offline installation files myself,
so I will look to see if they have changed.
