Type "shutdown /?" on the prompt for all options and syntax. Can also be used from a remote machine.

The D:\ drive should not be a major problem since it's local, but what about your T:\ drive ? I guess it's a mapped drive. I don't know if they are at that stage of the setup. You have to try. Or you can try an approach for changing the default user profile. Then at least the administrator has a profile on the C:\ (or D:\) and it might be possible to have the other user profiles on a mapped drive. But I'm seriously wondering if that is what you really want. MS uses roaming user profiles for this. If you tweak the local profiles to a mapped drive, I'm afraid your OS won't start when it has no local profile in case of a network failure/problem. You have to try I guess. Good luck.

I thought I read someone's remark that v4 uses a dos version that supports fat32 and can go beyond that 2 GB point. So probably the answer is get v4. ;) GreetZ, Stephan --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

RE: [Unattended] Configure OS Questions
You could take a look at http://unattended.msfn.org/. It is more about unattended from cd, like in your case. And take a look at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm which has enough info to keep you busy till next week ;) Maybe this neat unattended project also can do the things you want, but since I'm quite new here I haven't found them yet. (did not get till that stage) Somebody else has to answer that part. GreetZ, Stephan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Layne, Courtney Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 6:42 PM To: Unattended Info ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: [Unattended] Configure OS Questions First off, I just came across this list the other day. So far it looks like a great resource for automation machine setup. I apologize if this has already been discussed. I am creating a methodology for deploying new machines through an automated/unattended setup. I have an unattended install of XP SP1a with update rollup included working great. Now I am working on configuring the Operating System. How can I perform activities like adjusting performance options or setting page size? Anyone have any advice for these configuration activities?

RE: [Unattended] Step-By-Step Quick Install Guide
Thx Jeff. I spotted your v1 and v2 guides and they do help ;) Let 'the one with the power' move them to the sourceforge doc section for this project. The info I'm still looking for is how to get certain things working. * PXE boot sounds great, I understand the basics, will dig into it more and will make a guide to contribute. * How to get the unattended system more unattended. In my case I now what I want to setup (just the OS for starters) but I still have to answer a lot of questions before it actually starts. How do I get more control over that stage. * What about a simple txt file on a bootdisk so the unattended system knows that it is config #101 you want to get on the computer you are booting from. Would be great if you have to get a lot of machines up and running asap. (call it a monkeyproof disk, resque disk, you get the picture I guess). Bear in mind that I'm no programmer, so scripts take a lot work for me to understand. I'm a fan of the Bart network bootdisk http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/ mainly because it almost always works. This project has major advantages which I like very much. Now I only have to figure out how it works for me :) Thx for the work so far.

Oh yes, please do. I'm desperately trying to figure out how it al works. This could really be the thing I was looking for. Unfortunally i need more documentation. Anyone who can pinpoint me in the right direction ? Thx.
