[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.

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.
