I"m trying to use Unattended to automate the install of Windows XP Pro
from an OEM CD over a network boot. I think I have everything set up
correctly, and I am able to start the installation without trouble, but
after Windows Setup finishes copying files to the hard drive and reboots,
it comes up with errors saying that it was unable to copy files. When I
have used the original CD for installations, I know that after this first
reboot, it does continue to copy files from the CD, and I suspect that
these facts are related, but I don"t know how to work around this issue. Any ideas?
I'm experiencing the same problem. I tried both installing German XP SP1a and SP2 with similar results. Right after the network configuration, when setup wants to install some more files, I get a series of "File not found" errors, starting with cmprops.dl_ (sp2) or licwmi.dl_ (sp1).
The funny thing here is, that these files do exist, I can select the with "Browse...", but XP Setup does not accept them. I checked the files for corruption, but they are fine, also after being copied to the client.
I'm running a Samba 3.08 PDC, but so far I wasn't able to joint the domain within unattended setup. I did change these settings in defltwk.inf and compressed the file again:
MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\RequireSignOrSeal=4,0 MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\SealSecureChannel=4,1 MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\SignSecureChannel=4,1
Back to the important error - here is what I tried: - changing client ComputerName to not include underscores - adding "unix extensions = no" and "case sensitive = no" to smb.conf - changing domain admin password to include only letters and numbers - using lower-caseify.pl
Is there anybody out there with a solution to this?
Regards,
Frederik
