Re: [Unattended] 4.9 Release Candidate4
Hi, I think that this is going to be the latest Release candidate. I have upload the first test candidate for the next release: https://sourceforge.net/projects/unattended/files/ Test on your systems. If not mayor bugs are found it. This file will became 4.9. Ok, so far I've only tested this with a german Windows XP patched to SP3 and found the following things I'd really (most of them at least) like to see fixed and/or added: == = Wishlist: = == - Update the updates scripts for Windows 2000 and 2003. - Update the updates scripts for Windows XP (see the list below). - Add a new optional parameter in unattended.txt's [_meta] section to disable the drivers scan script. Something like [_meta] drvscan = false. There are some cases where you don't want to install any drivers. - Obfuscate the Windows serial (ProductID and ProductKey) in unattended.txt after the installation is over just like it is done with the passwords. (replace with x-xx...) Currently I have to delete the unattended.txt file after installation so noone can steal the Windows serial by just copying it from there. === = Bugs: = === - The file packages/mediaplayer9/deu/mpsetup.exe cannot be downloaded. Link returns 404. This is a Windows 2000 update. (It might still be available in other languages but it is not in german and a handful of other languages.) - In sample-config.pl the line ## default is 'drv-scan' (in dosbin/install.pl) says drv-scan while it should be drvscan. (Its both drvscan in the example below and in install.pl at least.) - During boot the following non-critical messages/warnings are thrown: -- Warning! ehci_hcd should always be loaded before uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd, not after -- ide_generic: please use probe_mask=0x3f module parameter for probing all legacy ISA IDE ports -- program parted is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert to SG_IO - In unattended 4.8 I modified the boot parameters to load the german keyboard layout by using kbd=de-latin1-nodeadkeys. Now I get the message cannot open file de-latin1-nodeadkeys during boot. With 4.8 I got the message Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz. - When aborting the master script by pressing ctrl+c the following messages get printed: -- bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device -- bash: no job control in this shell === = Questions: = === - Why are there no files winxpsp3-up0809.bat, winxpsp3-up0902.bat, winxpsp3-up0905.bat?

It would be really nice if the values of ProductKey and ProductID in
c:\netinst\unattended.txt could be obfuscated after installation if those
values are present.
All the passwords in unattended.txt are already being obfuscated.
If I'm right then only one line of install/bin/hidepw.pl must be changed:
-map { s/^(.*Password\s*)=.*$/$1=/i; } @lines;
+map { s/^(.*(ProductID|ProductKey|Password)\s*)=.*$/$1=/i; }

Re: [Unattended] 4.9 Release Candidate4
Hi,
- Update the updates scripts for Windows 2000 and 2003.
I am not able to update those as I do not use those systems. Plus, you
have not a clue how much time take to update the security patch. I need
a volunter (you?) for that.
If you guide me through the process or can tell me what and how to do it i
might be able to have a look at the Windows 2000 Updates at least.
- Update the updates scripts for Windows XP (see the list below).
I will review this list later this weekend, but Some updates are not
possible for me to update because I use a script under linux to update
all the languages and some patches ask for a certification of genuine
windows system.
Hmmm, ok. If you can't make a list of languages for any updates in the list,
let the mailing list know. I'm sure ppl will help out.
- Add a new optional parameter in unattended.txt's [_meta] section to
disable the drivers scan script.
If you do not want to detect drivers do not put any under
unattended/install/drivers
The problem here is that I do want to detect drivers for 99% of the machines
but there's always that 1% I dont want to install drivers on, and be it for
testing only. Having to clear out the entire drivers directory and updating the
drivers cache file seems like a much more bothersome task than simply adding a
new variable to unattended.txt.
Though, if you insist I think i can make do with some private scripting in
config.pl.
- Obfuscate the Windows serial (ProductID and ProductKey) in unattended.txt
Open a bug on the trac system for this. Someone could have a look.
Opened a bug and also posted the solution. -
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unattended/ticket/13
Sadly the stupid sourceforge system loves to mess with the plain text and adds
stupid unneccassary stuff.
The change required is in install/bin/hidepw.pl
-map { s/^(.*Password\s*)=.*$/$1=/i; } @lines;
+map { s/^(.*(ProductID|ProductKey|Password)\s*)=.*$/$1=/i; } @lines;
- The file packages/mediaplayer9/deu/mpsetup.exe cannot be downloaded.
no one is updating windows2000 security patch. Please provide new url
and I will patch it.
The problem here is that there appears to be no german installer for Media
Player 9 anymore. Or at least I can't find it.
- Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474)
well... I am not sure if this can be installed unattended...
As written in my original mail, this update can probably be ignored.
- Internet Explorer 8 für Windows XP
- Windows Media Player 11
I personally feel that ie7, ie8 and media player should be optional. I
would like include this for all the machines:
I only wrote them down for completness' sake. I did write that these can be
ignored too.
- Windows Search 4.0 für Windows XP (KB940157)
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿? is this a core funcionality?
Its some stupid update that is pretty damn annoying if you ask me. It really
shouldn't be included in unattended and was also only mentioned for
completness' sake.
- Update für die Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1- und .NET
Framework 3.5-Produktfamilie (KB951847) x86
you have it on dotnet.bat
Hm, thats possible. I forgot to include the whole dotnet.bat during my testing.
Would be nice if at least all the critical updates could be integrated into
unattended so the clients don't have to install that many updates right
from the start through Windows Update.
do you really that this is a tedius task?
From my understanding unattended should install as much as possible and not
depend too much on external services. Imagine a situation where the network is
disconnected from the internet (with the effect that Windows Update cannot
run) and the files on the server are updated by copying the needed files from
a cd. In this case unattended would be the only way to supply the clients with
all the Windows Updates needed.
And is it really that much of a problem to include the missing updates?
