[Unattended] A proper way to skip formatting and mbr-install confirmations ?
Hi, we are currently evaluating Unattended : seems great ! Our goal is to allow low-skilled users in our schools (collèges et lycées in french), to keep their bunches of PC fully functional. Thus, we'd want a zero-question deployment procedure for partitionning, and installing OS, drivers and standard application (OpenOffice etc.) Unattended do all of this, but still ask few questions : we filled unattended.csv (with name, ProductID, fdisk commands, etc.), but install.pl always ask for authorizations before formatting and writing MBR. The only way we found to override this behavior is to modify install.pl, and we think this method is quite a dirty solution (espacially for upgrades to new Unattended version). Is there another way to achieve this point ? Best reagrds, Tristan LEY. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

[Unattended] InstallSheild App (MYOB AssetManger3) always forces a reboot
I've been busy using my site license for MYOB and unattended to install MYOB (an Australian accounting package) and it's AssetManager3 onto the computers at the college. Anyway, MYOB was mostly sane, as an installsheild app. Only one custom dialog and a few other odd bits to fix with autoit. However, the AssetManger3 will always, without question force a restart. This causes pain for the todo.pl managed environemnt, which doesn't like being killed off like that. I get a windows that 'cmd.exe' could not be shut down, and to either 'end task' or 'cancel'. If press cancel, then the system does not reboot and life is grand. Now, I suppose I could autoit that step, but is there a way to tell unattended to expect a reboot at this point, and just go along with it, or a switch to InstallSheild to kill off any reboot, no-matter what?

[Unattended] installation without logging on as administrator
Hello there, I'm quite new to unattended, so I would like to ask you a question. ;-) Is it posible to install software without logging on as administrator on every machine? If yes, how does it work? Via a Windows service? Via a script that is being run as admin even if a normal user logs on? Thanks!

[Unattended] unattended, printing and remote desktop
These questions may be somewhat off topic, since i believe they have more to do with windows than the unattended process itself. 1 - Is it possible to configure printers in the unattended process using unattend.txt? If not, how can it be done using command line tools so that the proper todo.pl can be created? 2 - Is it possible to configure the remote desktop connection uppon unattended install and authorize users to use it? If not, how can that be done using command line tools so that the proper todo.pl can be created? 3 - I've bee using a custom script to add local users to the clients. For that i'm using addusers.exe from the W2Kpro ResKit. Can that be done in the install process itself, including setting the paswords? Thank you in advance, for the possible answers and mainly for the ideas and this great compilation of software. -- javali:~# cat .signature Hugo Monteiro Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Telefone : +351 916993183 JavaLi - ADSI, Lda.

Re: [Unattended] installation without logging on as administrator
Hi Thomasz, via a Windows service / script that runs as a system user in a background, even if a normal user logs on. WPKG works like that, you can see it on http://wpkg.sourceforge.net that sounds good, will have a look at it! Thanks for the link!
