Hey all, I am trying to create an image for Windows 2003 member servers for our domain and the SMS/Tivoli folks want to keep the default directory for the OS load at C:\WINNT. I have gone through the setup many times booting from the CD and walking through the menus, but there is no option for where I want to install the OS besides selecting the drive and partition. It defaults to C:\WINDOWS. I can specify which directory I want if I am upgrading from a previous OS in the GUI setup mode, but this is to be made for a fresh install, not an upgrade. Any ideas on how to load W2K3 into c:\winnt from the start?
