I'm not sure which script you are talking about, something got cut off in the email chain and it's not in the archives. However, Don, have you installed Perl and cygwin on the server? I just got Unattended up and running in a pure Windows environment, after a bit of beating my head against a wall. The wall or my head gave way, I'm not sure which yet, but I do have a much better understanding of Unattended than I did a couple of years ago when I tried it. I ended up doing the same thing you did, named the server ntinstall and just bypassed the entire DNS modifications needed. Once you have ActiveState's Perl installed double-clicking on a .pl file will execute it. I don't know if the scripts that ship with Unattended will function correctly that way or not, I've only ran them in a cygwin environment. If we're talking about the prepare or update-script, they require wget, so make sure you have that as well, either add that to cygwin when installing or grab GNU Utils for Win32 http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ Any questions? Just ask, I'll try to share what I've learned setting Unattended up in a Windows only environment. So far the only trouble I've had is rebuilding the ISO in cygwin, I don't think it's possible. I've searched the archives and pretty much found the same answer. My next step for that is dual-booting Ubuntu. kevin - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event. There's still time to save $100.

Activate the guest account in windows with a password of guest _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Fryers Sent: 30 April 2008 21:43 To: unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Unattended] Can anyone help? I'm a rookie here and I have been trying to make an unattended installation work for 10 days with limited success. First, it didn't resolve itself to the mapped drive \\ntinstall\install file:///\\ntinstall\install although it had no problem pinging \\ntinstall file:///\\ntinstall (correct ip address for fileserver) and I could open it up from Start - Run. I could change the default to \\servername\install file:///\\servername\install and it would pick up the mapped z drive. Then it wouldn't accept the 'guest' username and password. By entering my own network username and password, it would allow me to continue and make a somewhat successful installation. So, I renamed my XP box 'ntinstall' and deleted the DNS CNAME entry. Now when I run the boot disk, it resolves fine for \\ntinstall\install file:///\\ntinstall\install but it still won't accept the default password for the 'guest' account. It only works (somewhat successfully) when I enter my own network username and password. I would really appreciate any help that you can offer. Thanks. - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event. There's still time to save $100.

It only works (somewhat successfully) when I enter my own network username and password. I would really appreciate any help that you can offer. well, I do not use windows for the servers, but it looks like you are having a problem with the guest user. Have you done these steps on the windows server? http://unattended.sourceforge.net/step-by-step.php#step4 as a work around, you could replace the Z_USER and Z_PASS with the values that you want. When the linuxboot start it ask you to replace the defaults settings and you can type wherever you want. That password will be store on the c:\netinstall\tempcred.bat file after the installation finish. - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
