Subject: [Unattended] Can anyone help?

 

I'm a rookie here and I have been trying to make an unattended installation
work for 10 days with limited success.

 

First, it didn't resolve itself to the mapped drive \\ntinstall\install
<file:///\\ntinstall\install>   although it had no problem pinging
\\ntinstall <file:///\\ntinstall>  (correct ip address for fileserver) and I
could open it up from Start - Run. I could change the default to
\\servername\install <file:///\\servername\install>  and it would pick up
the mapped z drive. Then it wouldn't accept the 'guest' username and
password. By entering my own network username and password, it would allow
me to continue and make a somewhat successful installation.

 

So, I renamed my XP box 'ntinstall' and deleted the DNS CNAME entry.  Now
when I run the boot disk, it resolves fine for \\ntinstall\install
<file:///\\ntinstall\install>  but it still won't accept the default
password for the 'guest' account.  It only works (somewhat successfully)
when I enter my own network username and password.

 

I would really appreciate any help that you can offer.

 

Thanks.
