[Unattended] Setting specific IP Address during unattended install

[James Barlow]

Title: Message

I'm using 2.7a to install a group of servers. I've modified the unattend.txt file so that after initial install the servers start with a particular IP addresses, rather than using DHCP.

 

The unattend.txt looks like this:

 

[params.Adapter1]
    INFID=*

 

[NetClients]
    MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient

 

[NetServices]
    MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER

 

[NetProtocols]
    MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP

 

[params.MS_TCPIP]
    DNS=No
    UseDomainNameDevolution=No
    EnableLMHosts=Yes
    AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1

 

[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1]
    SpecificTo=Adapter1
    DHCP=No
    IPAddress=10.1.1.1
    SubnetMask=255.0.0.0
    DefaultGateway=10.1.1.50
    WINS=Yes
    WINSServerList=127.0.0.1
    NetBIOSOptions=0
    DNSDomain=local.test
    DNSSuffixSearchOrder=local.test
    DNSServerSearchOrder=127.0.0.1

 

Unattend 2.7a seems to choke on the "INFID=*" line in the first section [ Error Unrecognised line: ... IniFile.pm line 78.] Is there a quick fiddle I can perform to make this work?

 

Also, I'd like to be able to leave the IPAddress line blank, and type in a value during the first stage of install. Anyone got any ideas on that?

 

Thanks
