Hello List, First off let me say I have really been enjoying Unattended 4.5 and it has been VERY helpful as I am in an office where much of the equipment is dissimilar from all the other equipment.
Looking through the mailing list, I see someone having a similar problem to the one I am having. (Kaari's "problem with base.bat file" message from 2004-09-30). During my install of Win2k with SP4 integrated, the process would stop about the install of IE6. The autologin would be cancelled somehow and would require the execution of the autolog.pl script to reset this. (The logon screen would show Administrator, but waiting for the password.) The execution of todo.pl would stop as well, but this is not consistent (usually occurred when I left the install running after I went home for the night, probably something timing out). Rebooting the system would not fix the logon problem, but would usually restart the script. I went a little hog wild with autolog.pl and .reboot to help me better locate the problem. My modified base.bat script is included below. I also tested this with the original base.bat script and found the problem came up during the install of IE6 after the first reboot (I believe this is where Kaari's problem occurred also.) The problem would occur after the first reboot (the first reboot after perl finishes installing and base.bat has started). If anyone knows how to fix this I would appreciate it.
