Hi Nils, thank you for your tribute. I can give it back to this great project which gives me some very nice ideas! Sharing knowledge is essential for the life in OpenSource. So you dont need to buy me a beer if you meet me ;-) I have also find a way to install Vista/2008 through linux, with the availability to add "on-the-fly" drivers to the image without the need to reimage. The first short points are available here: http://unattended-gui.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=Win:installation_process_vista
I am very busy this time to complete the script, because I am working on a new release of unattended-gui. I hope the short overview give you some hints about the workflow. The unattended-gui project has some other goals than this project but I hope we still work together in the future. For some of the features in unattended-gui (sorry for the advertising): - first webapplication wich has an "online update" feature - easy to use APIs - integration in nearly every authentification system - the application addapts to your infrastructure, you dont have to addapt your infrastructure to the application unattended modules: - live cicle managment: availability to update the software if a new version is available - online sync and share software repositorys: http://www.technikz.de/down/sync_repo_1.swf http://www.technikz.de/down/sync_repo_2.swf - online sync os and harddisk templates - avialablility to install several linux and windows unattended (multiboot also possible) - computer managment with the availability to use "searchgroups" and much more addon modules: - switch/patchpanel managment with error reporting ans snmp viewing - syslog-ng centralisied syslog managment with configuration and availability to manage and search across more than one syslog server - ldap manager (edit view copy move objects etc...) - central cron managment - php-ssh client - inventory - a gui for samhain (http://www.la-samhna.de/samhain/) - Locations managment - dhcp ldap to manage your dhcp configuration in a ldap server - dns ldap to manage your dns domains in a ldap server (work in progress) Because of the avialability from the unattended project to use the config.pl to get the informations from a database it is also possible to let both projects live in the same environment. There are o lot of modules which are planed for the future. All this should help to get the hands over your network configuration and managment. Developers (mainly php and bash) are welcome to join this project. The code is growing to fast to stay up to date with the documentation (which is realy bad at this time...). So everyone is welcome who is interessted in this and want to support with some lines of documentaion. Special thanks to Andreas Nick, Sebastian Mellmann, Peter Huber, Paul Lewis, Jan Klopfleisch and all other who helped whith testing and error reporting on this project.
