[Unattended] connecting to samba 2.2.x DOMAIN

Friends, Has anybody managed to get a winxp pro machine to join a samba 2.2.x DOMAIN? I know, from doing it manually, that one has to run regedit /s WinXP.reg BEFORE one can use the Control Panel -> System -> Computer Name -> Change button and it's wizard to join the domain using the Domain Admi

RE: [Unattended] dynamic update

Is their some reason that you cannot use winnt32.exe? It seems like you could boot into WinPE [ http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/programs/sa/support/winpe.asp ], from CD or Network boot, and run winnt32.exe from there. It also seems like this would give you access to all the win32 utilities you

[Unattended] Slipstreaming hotfixes in Windows 2000/XP/2003 installation.

While the Unattended docs describe how to streamline a Servicepack into a Windows XP or 2000 installation, it doesn't describe how to also streamline a hotfix the same way. For most hotfixes there's no real need to integrate them into the base install, but MS03-26 and MS03-39 are remotely exploit

[Unattended] documentation for (re-)naming packages and downloading etc etc

Re: [Unattended] dynamic update

(I apologize for the tone of this message, but I am having a bad Microsoft day.) Two reasons. First, the Unattended system does not use Windows PE and probably never will. Not everyone wants to pay Microsoft yet more money just for the privilege of installing their crappy products on a large sca

Re: [Unattended] Slipstreaming hotfixes in Windows 2000/XP/2003 installation.

Thanks for the information. When (if?) I find time to work on the documentation again, I will add this. One thing to note... MS03-039 supersedes MS03-026, which itself supersedes MS03-010. These are also known as ,

Re: [Unattended] Booting the unattended CD on a diskless laptop

Replying to a very old thread... I have just tried the version of MEMDISK from SYSLINUX 2.07-pre5. Whatever the problem was with diskless laptops, the SYSLINUX folks have fixed it. Booting from CD/network on an Inspiron 8600, which fails with the current version, works great with 2.07-pre5. I wi
