Hi all,
Okay I fixed the problem by rebuilding the bootdisc.iso with an entry in
the lmhosts files for my file server.
I attempted to install the system using the bootdisc and it worked. I do
however have the following questions:
1. One of the drivers was unsigned, and it thus asked me to confirm if
I want to continue by selecting Yes. How do I prevent this?
2. One of the PCI cards I have requires 3 drivers to work, but Windows
only requires 1 of them to pass the card as 'working'. This means
that Unattended install only installs this one 'required' driver.
Is there a way to force it to install the additional two drivers?
3. The Windows 2000 bootmenu has the Windows 2000 entry, AND one for
'previous operating system' or something similar like that. Can I
remove this?
4. Is it possible, once all this is working as required, to include
the config files either on the bootdisc or somewhere on the network
so that all I have to do is insert the CD, boot and select a network
device?
5. Off topic: Does anyone know if Microsoft permits you to use some
'generic' CD KEY to at least install, as long as you put
the genuine CD KEY sticker on the front? I haven't spoken
to Microsoft yet because I thought given the nature of
this project, someone else might have already crossed
that bridge.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Gareth Budge

Most likely, it is valid. Addname.exe is part of the MS DOS TCP/IP set
of utilities since Lan Manager. Take a Look at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;112578
From that page, you can download it as part of the Win4Workgroups
TCP/IP stack, if you don't trust your helper...

Jose
