Well, what we do: We use Samba, backed by LDAP, to "simulate" what other Windows users might use Active Directory for. Each Computer object is listed in the directory, along with it's NT password hashes, and account information, etc. Additionally we added some extra attributes. We made sure each LDAP object also recorded the machine's MAC address, as well as the target OS. What this allows us to do is have Unattended pre-answer Computer name and the OS Media, based on the MAC address in LDAP. Right now we are using a funny combination of shell scripts to export LDAP to some .txt files in site/, and edited config.pl to parse these files. I'd rather have unattended directly contact LDAP... would be much less maintenance. Somebody enters a new computer into LDAP, boots unattended, and it's done. No questions asked. For those that use Active Directory, you could do the same thing, you'd just have to figure out how to do it. ;0 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ unattended-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-devel
