[Unattended] Three questions
Hello, i have three questions.
1: Everytime i install a new unattended version i allways have to run
mapznrun.bat and postinst.bat manually after windows installs (of course, i
then change install.pl to do this for me), have i missed something or is
something wrong in my configuration ?
2: I use the linux boot-disk and feed the clients with user/pwd/path
through dhcp-option 233
Looks like this in dhcpd.conf:
option unattended code 233=string;
#if option user-class=Unattended{ # This has no effect, it renders the
option useless.
#if option user-class=Unattended{ # have also tried this without effect
option unattended z_user=username z_pass=x z_path=//machine/nti44;
#}
The problem is, as soon as i uncomment the conditional(either one, i treid
em both), it no longer works(is the dhcpd-class really : Unattended?) . I
really dont want the dhcp-server to feed all clients with this info, even
if they probably will never see it. Has anyone got this to work, and if
that is the case how ?
3: Wouldnt it be great if we started discussing these thing on the
wiki-site forum instead, it would be a lot easier to search through ?
Cheers !

The latter, I suspect. What, if anything, do you have in
Z:\site\unattend.txt and Z:\site\config.pl?

#if option user-class=Unattended{ # have also tried this without effect
option unattended z_user=username z_pass=x z_path=//machine/nti44;
#}
According to the dhcp-eval man page, this should be:
if option dhcp-user-class = Unattended {
option unattended z_user=username z_pass=x z_path=//machine/nti44;
}
Note the name of the variable (dhcp-user-class) and the whitespace
around the special characters... The latter may not matter, but why
take chances?
Please let me know if this works, because I have never actually tried
it.

I hate Web fora. They are clunky, slow, and the text editing is so
limited as to be painful. So I do not participate in them except
under duress.
http://www.mail-archive.com/ has a pretty good search engine. And
Google also works OK if you include terms like site:mail-archive.com
and unattended.

Thanks Pat I am using Windows XP and according to that link: In Microsoft Windows XP, the maximum length of the OEMPnpDriversPath value is 4,096 characters.

I assume if you manually select all of the drivers it fails in the same way? (Otherwise, we have a very strange bug.) Perhaps you are running into the 1024-character limit on OemPnPDriversPath (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=312535). You can check this by examining the value of OemPnPDriversPath in the generated C:\netinst\unattend.txt file for a failing install. When however, I do the auto method by enabaling the section at the bottom of the config.pl file, the sound and lan drivers will simply not install. They used to though ??? This would happen if OemPnPDriversPath were too long and the lan and sound drivers were toward the end of it. If this is the problem, you can either start renaming things to make each element of OemPnPDriversPath shorter, or you can write config.pl code to select the correct subset of drivers automatically, or you can live with selecting the drivers by hand. This is, unfortunately, a Microsoft limitation, so there is not much we can do about it. - Pat --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

[Unattended] Questions about Configurations.
Hi I am working to get Unattended 4.4b setup on my network. I am in an environment where we tend to put a lot of servers online which is going to be the primary use for Unattended. We also wish to use Unattended (becase it will make life easier :) ) for new employee desktop setups. My question is this, if we insert the volume license key for Win2k3 as well as the Volume License key for WinXP, will the myriad windows installers be able to determine which key they are supposed to be using or will it be first one in the file is the first one used? I haven't been able to find an answer to this and have not had the time to test this out, though it is something I would like an answer for. Anyone know the answer?

RE: [Unattended] rename administrator account
That command should work, as long as it is run immediately before the name of the admin account is changed. This is what I do: In _meta -- bottom=joindomain.bat -- In joindomain.bat -- ::(remember, these run in reverse order) :: Join the computer to the domain with the current computer name and reboot :: Which should be assigned during setup by site/hardware.csv and site/config.pl todo.pl netdom join %COMPUTERNAME% /domain:pyramidbrew /userD:domainadmin /passwordD:secret .reboot :: Set the system to logon as domain named local admin todo.pl autolog.pl --logon=1 --user=localadmin --password=secret -- In other words I tell the system that the next time it reboots to autologon with localadmin and secret. And then I join it to the domain. This works for me because my domain policy changes the name of the local admin account as soon as the computer is joined to the domain. I run this in bottom because once the computer is joined to the domain it doesn't autologon perfectly, you have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL (but it will automatically logon using the username/password specified in joindomain.bat) -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard.

I have the middle key word in my unattended file and it does not cause these questions to be answered automatically. It still asks me what I want to install and then at the end of the install it runs the middle and bottom line and installs the programs again.

It generates the list by scanning Z:\scripts for all of the .bat files whose first line reads OPTIONAL: Is there a way to automatically answer these questions in the unattended file? Yes, by setting the [_meta]/middle key. This is documented (briefly) in http://unattended.sourceforge.net/advanced.html. I'm still having trouble getting the NIC card configs working right, it seems to be ignoring anything I put in the unattended file for NIC 2 and continues using dhcp after the install. Here is the relevant part: [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes Redundant, as it turns out (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=247952), but not harmful. [NetAdapters] Adapter0=params.Adapter0 Adapter1=params.Adapter1 Adapter2=params.Adapter2 OK, as far as it goes, but where are your [params.Adapter0], [params.Adapter1], and [params.Adapter2] sections? Without those sections, Setup has no way of knowing which adapter is Adapter0, which is Adapter1, and which is Adapter2. You can either identify them by PCI location or by PCI vendor/device ID plus MAC address.
