Re: [Unattended] After install, ActivePerl error message
Sorry if these are dumb questions I'm new and just learning all of this. I can't get prepare to run. I guess i don't know the right way to do it. Also I don't want any other packages or apps installed. I just want a way to get a very basic clean install of Server 2003 with out someone having to babysit the machine. Is there a way to say you don't want any additional packages or apps? Hope I am asking this the right way.

[Unattended] After install, ActivePerl error message
All, I got Unattened to work ( after changing out NICs see earlier post) but after the install, at the first login a command window appears and produces this error: Mapping \\ntinstall\install on Z:... The command completed successfully. ...done. The system cannot find the path specified. The system cannot find the path specified. Z:\packages\ActivePerl-5.8.4.810-MSWin32-x86.msi not found; press any key to retry. I check my packages folder and there is nothing in there that says Active Perl. Did I miss a step in upacking or did I not download somethign correctly? I read through earlier posts which mention ActivePerl but I coundn't find one that seemed this same problem. Is this critical. It seems the OS is working fine (btw I am installing Server 2003) Thanks Heather
Re: [Unattended] File copy fails
All, I wrote a bit ago about running into the atapi.sys error and here is what I found out. I was trying to install it on 3 different machines. # Model Integrated NIC PCI NIC Notes 1 Optiplex 260 Intel Pro 1000 Ran with no problems 2 Optiplex 400 3com 3c920 (905-TX) Atapi.sys error 3 Precision 610 3com 3c1918 Atapi.sys error This first machine had no problems. Machines 2&3 got the atapi.sys error every time. Finaaly I added a PCI Intel Pro 1000 to machines 2 & 3 and it worked. I'm nmot sure but anytime i ran it with the 3com integrated NICs i would get the atapi.sys error. I even tried adding the drivers for the 3com cards to the OEM preinstall but that didn't work. I guess this mean I have to add Intel Pro 1000 PCI cards to all my machines here. I am hoping there is another way around this. If anyone has any feedback let me know Thanks Heather
[Unattended] newbiw question
I'm sorry to bother with a newbie question but I really want this to work. I ran my first unattened install and answered all the questions like product key, computer name, domain, etc. It was my understanding that any subsequent unattended installs would run using this information and not ask all those questions again. I am finidng this is not the case. Am I doing something wrong or is this how it is supposed to be. It just doesn't seem very unatteneded if you have to attened to those questions everytime. I understand the syntax of unattend.txt and I have even created an unattended install using a floppy with the unattend.txt answer file and the server 2003 install disk. I was hoping this product would solve how to do a nework install w/o the floppy and the cd I would love to talk to someone more indepth either via phone or email that understand how this is all supposed to work. Thanks Heather Coors
