If you are using a password on the account used to map to the 
sharepoint, you need to modify the Perl program that generates the 
postinst.bat to include that information.  Not doing that will produce your 
other symptoms of not executing after reboots since the z: drive is 
mapped, but not authenticated.

I have modified my setup to also generate a "restart.bat" file in the 
c:\netinst directory that re-established the z: drive mapping with a proper 
password and then kicks off todo.pl again.  If you want to keep a 
password on the account, you have some limited options in this 
department.

Hi all.
I'm getting some problems in the unattended system, maybe some of you did
resolve them in the past. I did not find trace of them in the mailing list
recent archives.
- after first reboot the command todo.pl --go is not executed - i.e. all
goes on ok as it should if i type it in by hand at the command prompt. The
same is true for each and every subsequent reboot until the task list si
empty. I'm using v 2.5b and xpsp1, both cd rom and floppy boot.


And also an annoyance
- modifiyng by hand with pico the file postinstall.bat to provide the net
use command with username & password for reconnecting the network share
breaks the script: it seems to me the cause is the unix end of line (f.i.
todo.pl, upon execution, does not recognize .reboot directive) but i'm not
so confident. Modifiyng that file during installation is often very useful.
I was wondering if someone else is experiencing the same behavior

I must admit that my perl knowledge is nigh zero, so any help would be
appreciated
TIA fyh
